I was just wondering if you guys know any fat burning exercises other than running. It's just that I want a flat stomach. I medium built but my stomach wrecks my image so sometimes I get pissed at myself. You see I have a huge appetite for food. Breaking does not give me the fat burning exercise I need. I just wanted to know if you guys knew any techniques to flatten the stomach.

Do the turtle position alot. Do crunches, leg lifts, standing crunches. Watch what u eat.

set a certain amount of calaries you eat a day, there is ya know like running machines but onlt there like footer things but electrical, well some say how many youve done and how many calarious you have burnt off, do some research of how much a average calaries a male should eat a day and work towards that..

[bboyarfen]

write down everything u eat in a week or a day and only eat when u r hungry ... then divide by 7 if it was a week and u will find your maintenance calories from there u can cut out somethin like 300 cals and then go from there...DONT lost weight to fast cause u will end up as a skinny fat person because u lost more muscle than fat

[Bboy airborn]

kickboxing, swimming, thats about it if u dontlike to run, do cardio stuff it will make u lose that flab fast

ducktape around the mouth worked for me....... syke but doing turtles position every night before bed till you are really sore then situps n crunches gets you going a little bit but it's also all with watchign your food..... you can excercise all you want but if scarf down 3 big macs dosn't mean to much... something a lot of my friends at school even coaches have been doin is a carb diet were you don't eat carbs such as bread but you can have all the meat you want for instence if you were to buy a hamburger just eat the meat and no bread and drink water isntead of coak but start after thanksgiving

eat often.......eat a smaller meal like every 3 hours (but you still have to be very mindful of what you consume*), your body will start realizing that it's gonna get food regularly so it will elevate your metabolism which will burn fat at a more rapid rate.

So the answer is exercise regularly, eat often, eat healthy, that's the best way to lose fat.......

hope that helps

Peace


*gotta watch ya calories, even if you're exercising, if you're eatin hella calories.......you're still gonna put on weight, or at least stay at your current weight.

Eat often, but dont make it heavy with alot of bread or meat. Make it something light, like some fruit or a salad (Im serious!) Also, drink ALOT of water. Not only will it clean out your system, but it will make you healthier and when you are full on water, you dont eat as much. That also goes during meals; try to drink alot.

Do alot of cardio. These exercises take TIME, and if you want to burn fat, thats what you need to do. running, suicides (running suicides) stair climbing, breakdancing, all of that is good.

A few things to keep in mind. You never lose fat, the cells that store it only get smaller, like muscles. For each pound of fat there is something like 2000 calories in it. Which means if you want to lose a pound of fat, you need to have a DEFACITE of 2000 calories over some time. Lose that many calories too fast and you hurt yourself. There is no such thing as losing weight in a area by working that area, like getting rid of your gut by doing sit ups. It takes from fat over the whole body, so it takes some work if you got a little layer of fat on you :-P

The best way though, is to not lose weight persay, but to trade it for lean muscle. Do alot of cardio, but also follow it up with some workouts or burnouts. If you dont know what burnouts are, take 2 10 pound weights, and do 20 bicep curls, then 20 tricep curls. then 19 bicep curls, then 19 tricept and so on WITHOUT STOPPING! push yourself hard after your muscles get tired, rest for a little bit, and do it again. 3 sets of that. Its a awesome arm workout, and builds alot of endurance and muscle if you do it every other night.

One more thing, get on a body fat % calculator. Find out your percentage. 20-25 is usually good for the average person. If you want nice muscles and a defined 6 pack, you need to be down around 17-15 or lower. lover then say 5 and you are in trouble. (I know some swimmers who are around there) Im around 12% and i have a nice 6 pack, which is what you are looking for

If you want, there are a few exercises i do to keep my 6 pack.

with 20 lbs of weight on my sholders (usually in my hands) do 3 sets of 30, although you should prolly start around 15 X 3. Full body, which means put you legs up in the air, and pull your legs up higher when you pull you upper body up. Be careful though, if you do it wrong all you are doing is pulling your legs up and not working your abs at all.

Lie on your side, and raise it up. Do this 30 times, 3 times, on each side. This defines your sides, and makes it stand out more.

Do crunches for a set amount of time. My favorite thing to do is to put a song on, do crunches for the verse, and rest for the chorus, crunch for the verse, rest for the chorus. Gets kinda hard after a 5 minute song :-)

Do this EVERY DAY! Ones with weights, do every other day, but you can do the other ones every day, and its recommended you do.

Hope this helps

EDIT: also, keep in mind that these are what I do. If you need to, lower it to maybe 20 X 3 sets, or even 15X3. The first set should be kinda easy, the second set you should feel it not be as easy, and start to work your muscles, and your third set should be hard.

[maninderb]

man, you guys are geniuses. I'll try most of the exercises. I think I have a lot of ab strength, I mean I can lift 200lbs on the ab machine, its just that my abs don't show up whenever I flex. I guess its extra skin. I'll all of your exercises. Thanks, if there's any more, please post them.

DRINK WATER


soda is one of the worst things kids today can do for themselves. im more anti coca cola than i am anti weed.


stop drinking coke, drink water instead.
im willing to bet that more than 50% of people reading this are presently dehydrated, or not hydrated well.


this may seem extreem now, but try drinking a gallon of water a day. eventually your body gets the idea that ur gona get a ton of water every day and u stop having to pee so often, but it will be the best thing for you.

drinking water makes your muscles more defined, and it rids you of acne.

what it does, is your cells find an abundance of water, so they flush themselves out. get all the crap outa them and replace it with the very abundant water. this takes energy. just a little bit, but you have a ton of cells so it adds up to a lot of energy. your cells work constantly, and if you've ever heard being in a sauna makes u loose weight, its for the same reason, only you can do this everywhere and its much better for you.

water will make you feel pretty good too. u know the feeling of guzzling down a glass of ice cold water, it makes u feel good.




get some new habits, insteada going for the lucky charms, go for the honey nut cheerios, or even the frosted ones, or rice crispys' but eat better.


insteada goin for the chocolate, go for the carrots yo!



DRINK WATER

Be like Jerrod........EAT AT SUBWAY

[Ha|kU]

Eat smaller meals like Talent said. Doctors recommend 7am,11am,3pm,7pm for eating times. Eat more carbohydrates, less sugar and fatty stuff.

[pEnGuIn]

its 3500 calories per pound of fat, recommended by nutritionists to cut 500 calories per day and you will lose 1 pound of fat a week

heard it is not good to cut out all carbs because it is dangerous, if you want to know why just ask and i will explain in detail, but try to cut out highly processed carbs, like said above give up soda and just drink ALOT of water

also when working out try to keep your heart rate elevated for over an hour will raise metabolism
