<p>im tall and slim, you wouldnt think of me as unfit at all....most guys would hate my type</p>

<p>but i have been eating a lot lately and havent exercised for years</p>

<p>ive noticed i hunch a litte now (bend my top back and lift my shoulders higher ) <- might be because im not used to my height </p>

<p>and my belly is starting to pop out</p>

<p>how can i prevent this from getting worse? dont get me wrong im 6'0'' 155</p>

<p>um eat less if you want. or exercise more or both. whatever floats your boat.</p>

<p>or let it get really bad and then lose a ton of weight rapidly.</p>

<p>Exercise your core to improve your posture. I'd probably just do some push-ups and sit-ups. For the mini beer gut, just cut down on your caloric intake. I'd cut out any liquid calories you take in. I lost about 5 or 6 pounds in a month or two when I quit drinking sodas.</p>

<p>Running, stretching in a routine way can improve posture.</p>

5

<p>I'm short, skinny, and a f@g.</p>

<p>5'8 and 117lbs.</p>

6

<p>LOL 117 pounds. sucks to be you</p>

<p>Run. It's the answer to everything.</p>

<p>kind of a dumb question, but....</p>

<p>does running repeatedly(say running two miles 3 days a week) effect your height? i have heard that marathon runners actually shrink ~centimeters/~maybe even an inch long term b/c of the constant compression of their knees?</p>

<p>and another dumb question while I'm at it...</p>

<p>when someone asks you what your height is are they referring to 1.)your height w/out shoes on or 2.)your height w/ shoes on?</p>

<p>^</p>

<ol>
<li>Running 2 miles 3 days a week won't affect your height.</li>
<li>Without shoes. (Your doctor asks you to take of your shoes when you get on that scale)</li>
</ol>

<p>Uhh, you're not that tall.</p>

<p>theoretically, it would make sense to me that you would shrink a tiny tiny amount... maybe like 1/10 of an inch or something like that but im not really sure</p>

<p>Two miles 3 days a week is 6 miles. Marathon runners often 90-100 miles a week, and at a pretty fast pace.</p>
