How do I lose weight and get an hourglass tone? I am a 5’5 girl and weights 150lb. I am not fat but I do have some chub. I don’t know where to start. I’m hoping to achieve some definition by summer. Any advice?

I’ll be the one to tell you that genetics play a huge role in your figure. You can obviously build muscle in spots like your glutes, but if you don’t have something close to your desired shape to begin with it’ll be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to intentionally shape yourself into an hourglass

I naturally do have an athletic- hourglass shape. It’s just “soft”. My stomach is flat but has a little softeness to it that idk how to get rid of

Not trying to disappoint you or put you down, just managing your expectations because fitness influencers will not do that for obvious reasons. My best advice is to lift and focus on legs, but also don’t be afraid to hit upper body because it takes a LOT of effort to get a “masculine” upper body build like a lot of women are afraid of.

That’s going to be a mix of core workouts and general cardio. If you already have a flat stomach, you probably don’t need to go too hard on cardio, but it does help tone you overall. Core will help tone your stomach and bring out those abdomen muscles

if you still feel a bit soft can prolly cut a little more than you’d expect, cardio and ab work are best bet. make sure you pick ab exercises you can progressively overload.
