I’m talking about a program like the 90 day workout, things like that. There are a lot of them on the market today. I was wondering which one actually works, for both men and women. (it can be separate programs). I want to get one for my fiance when my taxes get here and one for myself after I have my baby in March. This is one that I found for both men and women. How to Get A Six Pack And Lose Belly Fat Fast I’m not sure if this or any program works simply because I have not tried any. But me exercising alone doesn’t leave me with the results I want. Sure I lose a ton of weight but I want to be trim all over. I want to have endurance. Please let me know of something that is able to work all the muscles, and not create any bulges.
Man and women should follow the same rules for diet and exercise. Don’t worry about special programs- it can be much simpler than that. The programs usually aren’t sustainable and the diet industry doesn’t want them to be. They make money out of you having to come back and try something else, right? 
Losing 1-2lbs a week is the best way to go. This way, you are losing mostly fat, rather than water and muscle. Faster weight loss is not better, nor is it sustainable.
Diet should be what you look at first for weight loss- this is what will enable you to drop fat. Try a balanced diet made up of mostly natural whole foods, with high protein, moderate carbs and moderate fats.
You need to know how many calories you burn- you can use an online calculator for a rough estimate. Aim for 10-20% calories fewer than you burn daily (too large a deficit will be counterproductive in the longer term).
Don’t worry about complicated diets or cutting things out. You can enjoy anything in moderation, as long as the majority of your diet is healthy.
Base your meals around:
Lean protein (e.g. chicken, tuna, lean beef, fat-free cottage cheese, egg whites)
Wholegrains (e.g. wholewheat bread, oats, bran cereals, rice)
Healthy fats (e.g. nuts, seeds, olive oil, avocado, salmon, whole eggs, flaxseed)
Fruit and veg
And drink lots of water.
Second in importance to diet, is heavy resistance training- this is what will allow you to preserve muscle so you look ‘toned’ and defined once you’ve dropped the fat (rather than just a smaller version of how you look now, with the same bits you’re unhappy with). More muscle also means a higher metabolism, so you definitely want to hold on to, or increase the muscle base you have, for fat loss.
You need to work ALL your major muscle groups- you can’t spot reduce.
Try three full body workouts a week, or an upper/lower split four times a week to start off with. Focus on compound exercises such as squats, deadlifts, pull ups, rows, bench press and overhead press.
Then you can look at extras like cardio to help create a calorie deficit. But cardio is by far the least important of these three, and you can lose fat effectively without it.
Make sure you’re getting at least one rest day a week with no exercise at all.
Focus on losing inches/dress sizes rather than actual scale weight- it’s how slim you look that matters, not how little you weigh.

p90x is popular.
But please believe the reason why it does work is because they give you a diet to use. Not that great of a diet but one that is better than most peoples idea of a "diet". And hence, they lose "weight". In my opinion most people using p90x lose too much muscle. The protein requirements in that program are pretty pitiful. Anyways, there ya go!

P90X is the answer to your needs. It can work for men & women, and I know alot of males & females who use it and see REAL results. It is a 90 day workout routine, but it also comes with a healthy diet plan. If you want something that actually works, I would go with P90X. There is also another one, Insanity, that is only 60 days and you don’t need to buy any extra equipment like you do with P90X. You can check out both of these at: http://www.teambeachbody.com/cogswell when you click Shop!

All the scientists and food experts say targeted weight loss is impossible, specifically in the waist and belly places, but I achieved it with colon cleanse. I appreciate they say that pills do not work, however they definitely worked for me, and they have been featured on the Rachael Ray Show too. There is a free trial going on currently at http://tigefs.newkeepfit4you.info , try it, what’s the worst that could happen?
