FYI Fitness, I am currently a freshman in college, I’m 5’6” and I weigh about 140, most being muscle mass. But I do have 2 problem areas that really bother me that I can’t get rid of. When I look at my legs in the mirror, they are great right until I hit the upper inner thigh area, and then my love handles/back fat. I have great abs from when I was in highschool and obsessed but I don’t think I’ve worn a tight fitting shirt since because I feel unproportional being skinny but then having massive love handles that show. I eat healthy pretty much, and I have access to a gym, I just don’t know where to start and what exercises to do?

you sound like a pretty in-shape person you just have an extra 5-10lb fat area which is very common. Where you are storing this excess baggage comes down to nutrition. I mean completely on-par, no nonsense cheating etc. In order to truly not have love-handles and in the inner thigh fat your nutrition needs to be perfect!

every day 5-9 servings of fruits and veggies, NO SIMPLE CARBOHYDRATES, all complex carbs, and protein. I know, I know its not what anyone wants to hear but that is the honest truth. Love handles will always be there unless nutrition is perfect!
