Ok for starters i am 5'6" "yep short mfr" at about 147lbs..for the past 3-4 weeks i have beenrunning 3 miles a day for 5 days a week, and doing very light weights at my house because i dont have much free time to join a gym or anything so im doing what i can at home. I have a bench and a couple dumbbells. Here is all i do about 4 days a week.
a.bench 3 sets of 10 and bicep curl dumbells 3 sets of 10
or
b. 2 arm tricep extension 3 sets of 10 and seated shoulder press 3 sets if 10

i eat no junk food, drink nothing but water, eat 90% protein that is baked and the rest is just salads. I was eating very low calories but i upped them and now consuming roughly 1200-1500 calories a day.

Sooo The question is, am i doing enough to tell any difference? Im not fat by any means, but i carry my fat in the bell area. What can i do differently to increase burning fat and toning up. Again keep in mind i dont have time to join a gym, as a matter of fact i do my 3 mile run during my lunch break at work. I just do a quick weight workout when i gey home. What can i do to tone up more? Not trying to be a body builder or none of that crap.. tia

also here is what my meals look like mon-fri
breakfast- protein bar
lunch- either a salad, or one baked chicken thigh
dinner-2 baked chicken thighs, handfull of ground turkey, some green veggies.
dessert- banana with about a teaspoon of peanut butter

Do a bunch of the high weight and low rep exercises to get bulk.

If you want to lean up then do a bunch of reps with relatively medium to low weight.

Continue the diet of high-protein lowfat that be sure you have a good amount of carbs so you have enough energy to exercise.

Replace your water with whole milk and you'll be there in no time.

Ummm no need to do 3 miles everyday for five days a week. Mix it up. Learn some lactate and alactate conditioning drills. Some tempo runs, hiit. Learns plyos by using medicine balls and box jumps. Buy some kettlebells and learn full body barbell exercises such as deadlifts cleans push presses squats etc

How long have you been on this routine? Just keep it up and you'll be fine.

Not really unless you drink half a gallon a day or if you have hypothyroidism. Seriously I'd invest in a couple of large tractor tires a sledgehammer kettlebells a pull up bar a barbell and plates. A sled or a prowler to put weights on to push or pull. Or go to a gym that has all this equipment

Itermittent Fasting can help, but just like everyone told you in the last thread you started, you still arent taking in enough calories. 1500 is borderline.
