Best workout/diet plan for skinny fat women?

[calimember01]

I am between 5 3' and 5 4' 23 years old. I weigh between 112-114 lb. 28-29% body fat. I wear between a size 2-4 but nothing fits properly. i have skinny arms, shoulders, calves, but love handles/hips/thighs are extremely wide. I feel weak and flabby all over and current diet/work-out routine does not seem to be working. I am trying to gain strength and get toned, not necessarily lose weight. I know need to lose body fat first though.

Any advice/tips?

You don't need to worry too much about getting rid of fat first, as muscle building burns an extra 45-50 calories per lb, so the building process will help you to acheive that .

This is the sort of thing you could try in the gym, or the sort of thing a trainer might give you.

Squats, 2 sets 8-10 reps, (smallest barbell available).

Lunges, 2 sets 8-10 reps, (second smallest dumbells available).

Deadlifts, 2 sets 8-10 reps, (smallest barbell available).

Bench press, 2 sets 8-10 reps, (second smallest dumbells available).

Bent over rows, 2 sets 8-10 reps, (smallest barbell available).

Shrugs, 2 sets 8-10 reps, (smallest dumbells available).

Planks, 30-45 seconds

This is done every other day mixed with cardio, so the weekly schedule could look like this.

Day 1. Weights

Day 2. Cardio

Day 3. Weights

Day 4. day off

Day 5. Cardio

Day 6. Weights

Day 7. Day off

This splits the off days so you don't have two back to back days, potentially eating into progress and it means you don't train for 5 days straight.

As for the diet what foods do you eat and what times do you eat?

Protip: skinnyfat=normal fat% but no muscle to keep it ``tight``
