<\/span>A \u201cskinny fat<\/a>\u201d workout is really just about doing the opposite of what most people try; instead of running a ton or cutting calories like crazy, it\u2019s about building strength.

Even though the scale might say you\u2019re fine, your body might be storing fat in places it shouldn\u2019t, like deep around your organs and you probably don\u2019t feel all that strong either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
