1-no pop 2-eat those lean cuisines with 4 g of fat 3-run like a níçç3r 4-don't do too much lifting...it just makes you have a barrel belly. If you want to be THIN, get the fat off first by step 3...then weightlift.
no it doesnt, infact the more muscle you have the more calories you burn
unless if you go overboard. TOO MUCH are the key words.
powerlifting causes the barrel belly he's talking about...any other auxiliary lifting (dumbbell work and bodyweight stuff) doesnt cause any of that. from my experience pullups are key...ive never seen anyone who was good at pullups and not ripped, it just doesnt happen
Basically, Run for a minute, walk for a minute, sprint for a minute, walk for a minute, run for a minute.
Over and over and over. Your body gets used to doing the same thing. If you walk at the same pace in the same way for 45 minutes, your body will basically go into repetition mode and fall asleep.
By changing it up, you are keeping your body on the toes and making it expend more energy to keep up.
I can't remember what they called them but we did something like this in the military. Boy is it a good time. You would be jogging in a line of 8-10 people and the last person in the line would have to constantly be sprinting to the front of the line.

i guess i get to be the acception to your rule. i wouldnt say im fat at all, but ive got myself a belly. im for sure not ripped, but swoll would probably be a better word. my body just got used to doing pullups and dips with all my weight.

t
what causes that is a excess of carbs and not enough cardio, b/c those type of lifters do not care about figure. Look at ronie coleman he a giant cut, and lifts big real big.
and pull-up arent the key, running is, look at marathon runners.......no fat!
Thanks for the tips guys! I bought some healthy snacks to keep my metabolism up. This summer I'm going to be swimming laps in my neighbors pool. (Huge inground pool, simply amazing).
I'm gonna weigh myself tomorrow, I should be slightly under 200, but with this added muscle who knows.
-Peace

+1 +1 +1!!!!!!!!!
Pullups are the most amazing single exercise known to man. You work your entire body basically. Upper body strength for the pullup effect, lower body strength for stabilizing. Plus, if you bring your legs up as you pull up, you work everything then.
I think I can do a few. Yea I've always sucked at them.

I used to have a similiar problem. I hate running cuz it makes me really sore the next day, and vn if I keep up a routine I just stay sore for weeks. I ended up just starting to use an eliptical as my cardio. It really weird getting used to at first, but once you get used to the motions and set the incline up and max out the resistance it is a great workout. I still spend half an hour at least 4 times a week using it. -Obviously your gonna have to eat right as well. Don't count calories so much, instead just stick with natural foods. Fruits, Veggies, Steak etc, basically anything that isnt in a box

our weights class has a professional powerlifter come in and coach us and he has a huge belly but its hard as a rock, all muscle.
marathon runners are scrawny...sprinters are jacked. its a big difference, thats where interval training comes into play.
Couple of years ago, did a 6 week package like you see on TV that actaully worked.
Here's the basics.
Food:
1.Cut as much fat, oil and salt out of your diet as possible. Mrs. Dash will be your new best friend.
2. No simple carbs. No sugars, no breads, no pastas ect. ect. Complex carbs from long grain rice, plain oatmeal, potatoes, yams, ect. ect. are good. As little fruit as possible. Fruit is full of sugar
3. Be RELIGIOUS on eating 5 small meals a day, say like every 2hrs, more like big snacks then meals. half of half chicken breast and small cup of fresh green beans good example YOU CAN NOT SKIP MEALS. Your body will learn to burn what you give it when you give it to it. and not turn any into fat. This is hard to do, your constantly just slightly hungry, never starving, but never full either. It's best to prepare several days worth of meals in advance so you dont miss meals. Can not stress this enough. This is what is going to kick your metablism into overdrive and start it burning every calorie you give it right away.
Excersize:
1. Lift wieghts, muscle burns fat.
2. DO NOT work out hard. Working out hard just burns the sugar in your blood. Long 1hr+ brisk walks are perfect. You want to excersize just hard enough to break a sweat, but not to get winded. and it has to be for at least 1hr at a time. This works "slow twitch" muscles. Slow twitch muscle use fat for energy.
Just eat incredibley healthy and small snacks every 2 hrs with out fail and work out smart not hard.

I just can't this sh1t off! I've gained muscle, I'm way stronger and I'm getting big. Then I see people half the size of me way stronger than me.
What are some good excercises to lose fat?
I've cut all liquids except water/milk from my diet. I don't eat any candy or fast food. (Subway is only fast food I eat) I do chest, shoulder and arms (Monday/Friday)
I'm still having trouble with a cardio routine. I like to walk because it's more peaceful and it's easier on my knees. How much should I walk and should I walk everyday? On lifting days I would like to walk 1.5 miles as a cool down from weights. On cardio days I'm thinking 3 miles?
Another question is fat burners. My mom takes them and slowly she loses. I'm thinking with exercise I can lose a lot more, but which ones are good? I'm 18 so I think I'm old enough.
The reason I want to lose is this summer a friend of mine wants to go swimming everyday, but I'm nervous because of the fat. It ****ing sucks when she has a drop dead body.
BTW: I am still configuring a weights routine for abs, traps, and back, etc.
get with me in AIM again.. i cant find your screen name on the buddy list.
