How do I get rid of that stubborn layer of fat over the abs?

Question

I have been doing various ab work-outs daily. An average of 300 sit ups daily. I can feel that my abs are hard and getting stronger. What has not improved is the thin layer of fat over my abs. Along with running (5 miles, 3 or 4 times a week) and eatting better the fat stays. Anyone have any advice? I want to get rid of it in 4 or 5 weeks. Any info would help. thx

Answer 1

Your workout is fine. I think you can make gains in dieting as well. Eliminate bad stuff like soda, snacks and replace them with water and fruit. That never fails but requires lots of willpower to stick with.

Answer 2

Mate, not sure if you a member at a gym but if you are, try jumping on the stationary rower! Start off doing 2km and then build it up gradually once you get better at it. Based on your current level of fitness, you should be able to do 5km quite easily I would imagine. If you haven't used it before, ask someone at a gym to help you out with technique, which is very important. ie it's not a race, technique is very important with the rower. I had the same problem and it's amazing how many parts of your body it exercises, including your waistline. Alternatively, I reckon walking is better for you than running, and less likely to get injuries as its low impact. All the best.

Answer 3

Just continue your work out. don't eliminate sugars though because your body will make sugars and you'll start gaining weight. You're doing fine just as you are!!!
