Introduction
Chipolthey, a Reddit user, shared her progress journey of gaining muscle and losing fat. She gained 12 pounds in 7 months and achieved her desired fitness level.
Journey to Fitness
Chipolthey started her fitness journey as a 'skinny fat’ person, weighing 105 pounds at 5'7''. Her routine involved various ab workouts such as cable crunches, captain’s chair, planks, Russian twists, and yoga ball crunches. The weights used were usually half of her weight, and she preferred to pick 5-6 exercises for each workout session.
Results
After seven months of consistent exercise routine, Chipolthey gained 12 pounds and achieved her fitness goal. She transformed from skinny fat to fit and gained significant muscle definition, especially in her abdominal muscles.
Body Positivity
While some Reddit users praised her hard work, some criticized the concept of ‘skinny fat' and expressed concern about body dysmorphic issues. Chipolthey clarified that she never believed she was fat, the term was just for someone with little to no muscle definition, and that surface fat was present due to bad eating habits or lack of exercise.
Conclusion
Reading someone's progress journey like Chipolthey is inspiring, but it’s crucial to remember that everyone’s fitness journey is different. Each person should consult a physician or a qualified professional before beginning any fitness program. With dedication and consistency, one can achieve their fitness goals.
