What is going on, everyone. Welcome to the fit, healthy, and happy podcast. I'm your host, Josh,

here with my co-host. KG in the house. Today we are talking about an issue that is very dear to our

heart because I would say almost every day I get a message from someone saying, can you please help me?

I'm skinny fat. So this is probably one of the most prevalent issues in fitness. And we're going to get into many of the reasons why we believe, you know, this issue persists, why it's common, why it's especially common in women and, you know, how to get out of this trap.

like you can see it kind of on their arms like there's a lot of loose skin it's hanging or especially on

the stomach and sometimes on the legs once again if you are storing fat you want to sort on the

legs more than anything else and these things are hard to control, but by being athletic, training and focusing on body composition, you can avoid this.
