in Health and Weight Loss
For starters, I am 5'7" female who weighs 117 pounds. I am "skinny fat." Squishy around my love handles, back, and tummy. I am trying to get fit...and "tone" up.

How many calories a day should I be eating to obtain this goal? And will the following at home workout help me obtain this? How many times per week should I do this and how much cardio should I incorporate into my week?

Workout:

Circuit 1 X2
10 pull ups
30 sec mountain climbers
15 reverse fly

Circuit 2 X2
50 Russian twists
15 leg raises
16 crow push up

1 min rest

Circuit 3 X2
25 weighted squats
20 single leg bridge/leg with Dumbbells
45 sec plank all sides

Circuit 4 X2
16 dumbbell crossover punch sit-up
20 lunge with twist/rotating sides
15 Sumo squats

5 min stretch & posture exercise

    You might want to check out the "gaining weight" or at least "maintaining weight" board. At 5'7" and 117 pounds, you do not need to be losing weight.

    Okay, I can take my post there.
    I don't care about my weight, just posted it so people could have an idea of my body frame.
    I want to get rid of the squishy look!

    Lift heavy! Or if you don't have access to a gym, progressive body weight exercises. Search the forums for body recomposition, there are some great threads on the subject.
