How can I lose belly fat?

Question

My daily routine is situps 20 times in the morning and after that I go for a jog and jog for about 45 min.

Then in the afternoon I do another 20 situps and weight train for and hour or two.

Then Finally at night I do my last set of 20 situps and jog for another 45 min.

I eat 5 small meals a day, consisting of fruits, veggies, and protein, and many vitamin supplements.

Now is my routine a good one? Or can anyone help me improve my routine?

So far I know I have to burn more calories then I consume, and that cardio and wieght lifting are great for burning calories. The situps is just for some warmup exercises.

ANY help is appreciated, and please don't leave any stupid or common sense type of comments. THANK YOU for helping in advanced

Answer 1

I am struggling to lose my abs too. What I have learned abs are made in the kitchen not in the gym. you have to remove body fat to see the abs you have underneath. cardio and diet handle the stubborn battle of the bulge. I go for low carb. i cycle my carbs. which is a lot safer than atkins. fruit isn't bad but i'd eat it in the morning only or after a work out when you need the carbs.

dude you should do 3 days low carb is no starchy vegtables pasta rice or bread which is lefy veg and protein

3 days moderate carb protein, starchy veg, pasta or bread and grains only during the morning and afternoon meal
dinner meal just protein and green leafy vegetables

snacks protein nuts peanut butter w fruit or celery

1 day off to eat as you want thats called re fill

i eat between a low and moderate carb i just eat ceral as my grains when i go to the gym w fruit as my snack afterwards

i cut out all bread, pasta, rice except for maybe one or two days a week depending how hard i bust my but . during my carb refuel which i do like friday night to sat noon than back to carbs for breakfast which is why you take one day off.

i lost 20 lbs all in my gutt.

pick up aerobic HIIT high intensity example start slow walk on treadmill for 2 minutes then pick it up to a jog 2 minutes bring up to a run for 2 minutes than back to a walk for 2 minutes if u do it right it you will be wiped. You can do it during swimming. i seen dramatic results when i did swimming on my days off from weight training.

i do HIIT in that i do the crawl stroke, back stroke, breast stroke, butter fly, than one side stroke, than i do the crawl stroke again to the max then im done. work up to 30 minutes u will be tired. if u do HIIT u only need 20-30 minbutes max

u can do it during running. runners are lean. you can run a distance walk a distance like we used to do during PE remeber the walk run jog. you can do it on a bicycle also

why dont you try to keep your carbs no more than 100 see how you feel and dont drop them more then 70 -80 grams a day. your a guy you weight train see if it works but HIIT is the way to go

also do your cardio after weights and to get an extra boost dude do some cardio before breakfast on an empty stomach while in a semi fasted state ur abs should be disappearing if u do this. i also got a book if u send me an email

burn the fat feed the muscle. tommy venuto is a body builder and he will explain how to do low carbs the base line diet routines. also im not selling anything i have it on my computer so ill send it to you via email. suppliments and stuff dont work

drop me a line and ill send you the book ok
anyone else who wants it male or female its an awesome book he knows what hes talking about and i have it got it for free will love to give it away to someone who wants it

Answer 2

The sit ups and weight training are great for toning your muscles and building your muscle mass which then improves your basal metabolism. However the only way to lose the belly fat is to lose weight in general by utilizing more calories that you consume.

Websites like fitday .com can help figure out how much calories you burn per what activity you do etc. and based on this I believe you can design a program that best suits your needs. Good luck.

Answer 3

One exercise that targets the stubborn stomach area is called The Bicycle. To do The Bicycle, simply lay on the floor pressing your lower back to the ground. Your hands are beside your head. Bring your knees to an approximate 45-degree angle and slowly go through the motion of pedaling a bicycle. Your left elbow will touch your right knee and then your right elbow will touch your left knee.
