Spot Reduction is a Myth !

Just control your diet & have a good swimming program & the gut will reduce !

no

 

[Armstrong]

no

Marsha Betaa the reason why you need to do Ab Exercisers is not to get rid of the fat but to get your over-worked & over-flowing stomach to digest the tonnes of food you just ate !

Absolute Nonsense !

Fat on the abs or anywhere else on your body is due to more calories consumed than you burn - Take care of that equation by either burning more or consuming less or a combination of the two & you'd loose fat....also from around the waist !

Question about swimming --> Is it going to help in reducing my stomach size or do I need to chose exercises that targets that specific area?

net caloric deficit is the key --- it will uniformly remove fat from your entire body -- why men have more fat at stomach and women at butt/thighs is due to recepters-- certain fatburners say that they target these receptors however results are not very dramatic regarding fat burning at only one specific area


low carb high protien meals--- still under your daily caloric requirements will help you in reaching your goals alongwith an high intensity interval cardio + compound exercises

Is doing Push up is cardio?

I do light exercise without any instrument, as I always look for a balance among time, money, food, and fitness.

I have not taken advice of any expert, but here are my own combination of items:

a. Warm up + Stretching [6 minutes]
b. 100 jogging + 200 rope jumping [4 minutes]
c. Rest [8 min]
d. 40 push up in one go - normal distance between two hands [2 min]
e. Rest + 5 deep breathing [8 min]
f. 40 push up in one go - wide distance between two hands [2 min]
g. Rest + 5 deep breathing [8 min]
h. 40 push up in one go - no distance between two hands [2 min]


TOTAL= 40 minutes of exercise everyday [but if I get lazy then I do exercise in every two days]


Reasons of exercise: to feel confidant and to fight with depression, not for muscles pumping, and I feel very good.

Me too but in my case I did gymming before while playing rugby with general guidance but never done alone. I need some advice.

if you tell your goals, then someone can give you proper advice. Do u want to build muscle, or just for fitness?

push ups is one of the several upper body compound exercises

select 5-6 compound exercises for whole body, complete those exercises in 2-3 days ----- swap these compound exercises with different compound exercises hitting the same regions, after 2 months or whenever you reach plateau

First to achieve some level of fitness by burning belly fat and then build some muscles.

 

[Manticore]

the most common compound exercises are very safe and can be done with either dumbell or barbell or even with tension strings -- as they employ a large number of muscles, there is not dangerously huge stress on one isolated muscle thus less chances of injury

the selection of the 6 compound exercises which cover your entire body depends on your goals and the equipment available to you

 

[Last Hope]

There was a time I used to jog/run 7KM, 75 pushups (50-25 of two types) and 75 pulls of dumbbells (each arm, 7KG, four different types). Some various back and lower abdomen exercises were also included. Developed instant 6-packs (with half-built 8-pack) after fourth continuous day of 7KM jog.

Now after Eid, I plan to resume the routine with increased jog length to 10 KM. (I usually used to end my 7KM route from between 40-55 minutes).
