Ok, I'm 16 years old, 6'0'' and weigh about 165 pounds. I know that that's in the average weight range, but I've always been upset about having fat around my stomach and love handles area.
Anyway, I was curious about effective ways to lose weight around that area. I'm not much of a cardio person, since I have low endurance and I have hyperhidrosis, causing me to sweat very excessively and easily.
Is it bad to do sit ups, or some kind of abdominal exercise in my current state? Wouldn't it just make me appear as if I have a bigger stomach?
But then I question that, because I always thought muscles used fat as energy, so if I gained muscle underneath the fat, wouldn't the fat eventually disappear?
Getting back to the cardio idea, if I attempted something like daily jogs, would it be a good idea to jog in the morning on an empty stomach, right when I wake up? Because in that sense, wouldn't your body use your current fats as energy, instead of any food that's currently digesting?
