Not sure what it is but I’ve started getting a belly bump. Going full proto dad bod since I’m 30 now. Any ideas on how to get rid of it? I understand that diet plays a crucial role but for excercise what is the best way to go about it? ---

Hey @Mountain I’m trying to lose weight too. I joined a gym and I’m really enjoying it. I have only done cardio so far. I feel better than I did when I was not exercising. best wishes to you. ---
