Hi Guys -
I'm a 26 year old guy who has always been skinny. More recently, I have changed my diet and increased my calorie intake and also started to work out on a regular basis. I have been able to gain weight at a reasonable pace and now weigh around 135 pounds ~ 15 pounds more than I weighed say 2 months back. The problem is that this weight gain has come at the expense of increasing fat around my belly. I have always had flat almost 6-pack abs (not surprising given how much I weighed) and the increasing fat around my belly is freaking me out.
I have become more conscious of my diet and eliminated some sugar rich juice/meals that I was drinking/eating. My father has a rather huge belly and is small framed and I fear that I probably have the same tendencies. Is there anything I can do to address this? I work out around 3 times a weak - 20mins of running followed by weights and ab crunches/exercies. Are there certain type of ab exercises I should be doing than others? More cardio? if so what kind of cardio would people advise?
I'd be happy to give more info if need be. Thanks a lot in advance.
