Physical Fitness Exercise Programs

Hi,

I have been my whole life in sports and have always been in good shape. However, when you hit 35 you start getting some extra weight on your belly you want to get rid of. And although I do many sets for the abs, I still can not get it this highly advertised six pack.
I see many commercials when they show men and women who have those great abs. They say that if you only follow this program or if you buy this machine, yhou will be the same. I think it is all bullshit.
I believe that in order to really have extremely flat stomach, you gotta take some weight loss vitamins/supplements to dry yourself out. I believe this is what they do.

Unless someone here knows some other secrets/programs/exercises which would effectively melt down that little fat on the belly. Thanks

The crank and vodka diet always worked for me but I don’t recommend it. Its a tough one to kick.

How many days per week? How many minutes of cardio and what are the exercises for cardio? How many minutes of weight lifting and what muscle groups to work out and when? This program is for a 25 yr old female.

The best program for this is that used by celebrities. Functional resistance interval training. This is high-intensity cardio training utilizing full-body exercises. Blasts 500-600 ccalories in 20 minutes and produces post-workout calorie burn during the next 2 days! Below is a site featuring free videos with a fitness model performing such workouts. There is also a paid product called "Turbulence Training". These are the best.

Good luck!

I want an exercise program I can go out and buy for stomach love handles and thighs. I want to lose a little but mostly just tighten. I have a wedding to go to July 10th and want to look good. I stay home all day so I have plenty of time to do it. Any suggestions would be great, THANKS!

Check out those websites. It has many helpful tips about how to get abs and tone up your body. Hope that helps.

I’m a tad impatient and am still awaiting a response in a diff forum.

I just wanted to run by you what I eat usually and ask how it is relative to what I’m trying to do, which is improving upon my swimmer’s body. I used to swim regularly(1mi ~30mins). Haven’t gotten back into the pool in a while but I’m currently doing P90X right now. I’m a total beginner when it comes to training so I decided it was best for me to pick up a program that was ready-to-go. I’ve modified it slightly to suit my needs. Anyhow, here’s my diet:

I eat no more than 1 plate of food a meal(usually a bowl because I eat rice).

This is the norm:
Breakfast:
-1 glass of water
-1 cup of Kashi cereal with what I assume to be an equal amount of 1% milk
-2 eggs with rice/bread
-1 serving of fruit

Lunch:
-Glass of Water
-The bowl equivalent of a 12" plate. I eat 1 cup of white(216 Cal/cup), long grain rice with some thing that is either seafood, lean chicken/pork/beaf, or veggie-soup
-1 slice whole grain bread
-handful of nuts when I can
-1 serving of fruit

Dinner:
-Same as lunch but more likely to be with fish

Before Bed:
- portion of cheese and bread with milk for muscle

-Veggies usually are spinach, broccoli, or romaine lettuce that I eat plain to avoid dressing but man, spinach plain is terrible.
I’m very much on eating healthy(mainly for longevity).
Things to note:
-I’ve been having trouble controlling portions recently, I’ll usually eat another 1/4 bowl
-I’ve been replacing half of my WHITE rice with whole wheat bread. So 2 slices of bread, and 1 cup.
-I tried eating brown rice but it doesn’t taste the best. Recently I bought a bag and am trying to slowly integrate it into my meals.
-I tried eating smaller meals more frequently but that did not go well. I have trouble with eating until I’m satiated.
-I drink 3/4 gallon of water a day.

I’m almost 20, stand at 6′1", weight 173ish and do my best to strength train 5x/week. Planning to start swimming 3+ times a week again.

I’ve just learned about counting Macros and was wondering if there was a simpler way to ensure I’m eating sufficient macros without having to calculate everything. I’ve read several times that "eyeballing" food doesn’t work.

I calculated my BMR to be 1900 Cal and my Daily caloric needs to be at 3000 Cal(moderate exercise 5x/week) - 3000 is probably an over estimation. I did one previously at bodybuilding.com and it yielded 1900 for my BMR and 2700 for my Daily.

Any feedback is appreciated. I know "cals in vs cals out" is most important. I do want to make sure I get my macronutrients but have a proper deficit in caloric intake.
Thanks for the help.

that is a good diet! just stay motivated!
