Stomach Getting Bigger Despite Exercise. Can You Help?
Hi, I workout 3-4 sometimes 5 days a week, really depends, but my workouts are of weight lifting, one day arms and cardio, another legs and cardio, and another day circuts and cardio, and on other days when available some light 30 min jogging. But I have noticed my stomach is getting way bigger, and I am getting very uncomfortable about it and I am not sure why. I dont eat that bad all the time, and I try to eat few snacks so I dont have to have a huge meal and that way I can keep my metabolism running. there are some days were I eat a little more due to times of classes, so missing meals, and then workout times. Is there any way you can help me and tell me why my stomach is getting much bigger even though I am working out and doing ab workouts as well?
