Boney sternum, body fat and weak muscles!

Posts: 33
I've lost close to 30 lbs and some of my bones are getting more pronounced where before they were padded. My collar bone sticks out which I don't mind but my sternum is also starting to show and I'm not a huge fan. The problem is I still have about 30% body fat so I still have a ways to go. (When I measure using a tape and this calculator: http://www.machinehead-software.co.uk/bike/training/body_fat/body_fat_percentage.html) I do lift weights and I know you can't spot reduce fat from your stomach and thighs but I was wondering if there is anything I can do. I do chin ups (assisted) but I really feel like I have such poor muscle tone I'm not even activating the right muscle groups for the exercise.

You could try pilates to strengthen your core. Quite a few folks recommend it or yoga in conjunction with lifting. It is also thought to help make the body appear leaner through better posture and so forth.0
