I feel so stupid asking this, but I find so much conflicting information online. This sub tends to have the most consistently correct info though, so I am here with a dumb question.
I’ve been losing weight for about a year and a half now and I’m 50lbs down with the help of advice I’ve gotten from this sub! I reached my original goal weight, but I think I still want to lose 10-15lbs more. I want to start doing muscle strengthening exercises too, but all the videos I find talk about getting smaller waists, smaller thighs, smaller arms, and more. I thought that it wasn’t possible to spot reduce like that? But what do I know.
I’d like to lose inches around my waist (it’s 25ish right now but I’m aiming for 22-23”) but I’m not sure if that’s even possible with exercises like crunches, planks, russian twists, etc, or even in general. I feel like no matter how hard I pull on the measuring tape it never gets any smaller than like… 24”.
I read online somewhere (I know, incredible source) that your ribcage expands with weight gain and there’s fat between your ribs that may be making your waist circumference bigger? But this sounds really sketchy to me.
If you guys have any experience with exercises that claim to slim your waist, legs, or anything else please let me know! And feel free to completely school me in the comments. I’m genuinely interested! Thanks in advance for being the most fact based sub I’ve ever come across.
