Want to lose some stomach fat - Page 3

hey heresiarh, follow a weight training program to build some muscle and decrease your cardio to maybe HIITs on offdays. Do some research on how many calories you need (protein/carb/fat) to eat to ensure that you're supporting your goals. You may need to alter your ratios depending on your goal. You can also mix in a few circuits of body weight exercises (body squats, push ups, pull ups, dips, bulgarian split squats...) with no rest. This will help you build stamina, lose fat, and build some muscle.

HIIT
Breathing squats
barbell step ups

Intense intense.

It's been mentioned you need to cut your calorie. I doubt it'll help you. You're skinny fat I bet a pretty classic ecto body type. You need to move the weight around not lose weight.

If all you do is light cardio you'll end up lighter with the same belly.

This is doing wonders for abs.



I currently have an 8 pack. And I attribute this mostly to this exercise. It's insane!

Renegade row. Look it up!

Something else to consider is that cutting calories too much will have the opposite effect. If you go in starvation mode your body will hoard all the fat it can and will start to use lean tissue for fuel.

You want to boost your metabolism and some previous posts already touched on that. Build some lean muscle; Watch what you eat; Eat 5 times a day; You want a calorie deficit but not a huge one.

I'm not a fitness expert but I ran across something that mentioned that alot of cardio can slow your metabolism down. Like someone said some people are 'skinny fat' and probably always will be unless they change what they are doing.

So go lift some weights, you don't need to turn into Arnold but you need to have some tone.

Goodluck.

I like doing twists by standing up and twisting rt. and left. Also, I would recommend doing crunches, laying down and lift both the knees up and the head up.

To the Op. You are going to need to step up your workout. By looking at your regimen, it doesn't look like you are stressing your body enough. Start using some weights and do higher reps. Up your cardio. Also, you will need to do some ab workouts for sure. Start with crunches and add other exercises to your daily setup.

Looks cool, but pointless if one's routine already includes BB rows and pushups/bench press isn't it?

I'd had the same problem, and thru' trial and error found a perfect solution to tone body without growing unnecessary bulk : "perfect push-up". Works incredibly well and takes relatively little time.
Hard as hell, but very well worth the effort

I also works the core too, which is a plus, and your doing it all at the same time.

Probably not a good idea to include it in the same workout as the bb rows and pushups/bench press, but seems like a good exercise to put in a workout utilizing some higher volume training.

Just a different isolation- try these for a while and you'll see they have their place - more, total core than BB rows.
