Thread: Specific Training

Hey,

I'm new here but wanted to ask a question about specific exercises that I can incorporate into my routine to get back into shape. Pre-Lockdown I was in the best shape I've ever been, but being stuck indoors and a bad patch in my work and personal life has caused me to gain a lot of weight. Now I'm in a good place and I've decided to get back at it.

There's a few things I've always struggled with, even before - (as seen in the attachment).

If anyone could help me identify how to work specifically on the areas highlighted, that would be awesome!

My initial thoughts were;
- Chest | Flys (for sidemoob (Best way to describe it haha!))
- Abs | Oblique crunches (For love handles)
- Abs | Leg raises (For gut)

The more variety, the better!

Thank you

Thank you

Just to clarify, the area I'm trying to describe is underneath my armpit at the side of my body, rather than the pectoral area

the only way to lose fat is to be in a caloric deficit and train hard, so get on a good program (fierce 5 for example) and consume less calories than you burn. focusing on certain exercises that target those spots isn't going to do anything really

I get what you're saying so thank you!

I've started going to the gym again, but mainly to prepare for White Collar Boxing in November so focusing more on Cardio this time round. Before hand I used to go 3-5 days a weeks, had routines (Chest/Tris, Back/Bis etc.) but I've always struggled to tone those areas in particular.

Currently I've increased my cardio to atleast 30 mins a day.. But On Thursday and Sunday I play football (Soccer) and Friday or Saturday I spar... So I do high energy burning sports anyway

I'm going to be getting back into lifting weights shortly but just wanted specific exercises to target them areas

I've cut my calories to 1700 a day, with the aim of losing about 3 stone by November. my BMR is currently 2400
