You can't target areas to lose weight from

Yep.

Train hard and heavy with minimum rest periods and eat a consistent clean diet.

You can do all the sit ups/leg raises you want but if your diet is shite you'll still be a fatty.

of course it's about diet as well. I was assuming the poster was eating healthily.

Cut carbs, work hard. If you want to get serious you need to do research on eating

Hey new to this fitness stuff. I'd like to get myself into a regime where I could lose about a stone or so by mid September for a friends wedding. I'm 19 and around 12 and half stone wanted to lose a bit of fat on my stomach and add a bit of muscle gradually after that. I know building muscle is going to take a couple of months so I'm realistic about that aspect. Diet is ok I try to stay away from fatty food almost never eat takeaway; don't drink more than average but my diet consists of lots of Carbs which might be my downfall.

Currently play 5-a-side football twice a week and take my dog for at least an hour walk daily. Got a set of 20KG weights but rarely use them can anyone point me to a website which advise on what exercises I could stick to, to achieve my goal. Heard lots of good stuff about that Insanity workout but bit dubious about which workouts would suit me best. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Google “lower ab work outs” and “upp ab work outs” there are plenty of good blogs with gifs and videos.

Most are quite similar. Start with simple exercises first then work your way to the more advanced work outs.

True.

People get the idea that you can "but I'd seen my abs coming though" - but that because they've lost fat from all over and have been hammering crunches so their abs have grown in size. They haven't just lost weight from around the belly, but what they have done is potentially risked pelvis posture problems if they haven't done some lower back work to balance out the abs work.<br /><br />-- Tue Jul 30, 2013 12:22 pm --<br /><br />Each side of the triangle is as important as the others.

Target one or even two and you won't see results like you will with all three being worked on.

I can testify to this, my penchant for Pizza lets me down.

Did my workout today and I think I have done some damage in my right forearm, I have no pain in it now but when I lift a weight it kills me.

I had to drop the weight on the dumb bells to make it bearable.

This is what I did;

flat bench press @ 35kg
Incline bench press @ 12.5kg each dumb bell
Skull crushers @ 3kg each.
Close grip bench press 30kg
Dumbbell military press 8kg each dumbbell.
Lateral raise 3kg each

Just more or less had 6 weeks off due to being on holiday.

Excited to get back in the gym now!

You might be over training the tris there, remember your only as strong as your weakest link. you should never do arms in the middle of two major body parts,in your case,chest and delts, so do your tris at the end , and see if that helps. Remember arms are only small and dont need to much work.

Everything is a fad.

even normal weight training ? i really dont think so.

Been round the gym game over 30 years, seen just about everything,what works what dosnt, bit like trying to re invent the wheel.People trying to sell a new product, You want be big? train heavy and hard,eat well and rest.You want be Thin? nothing beats going for a 25 min run 3 to 4 times a week.

Agreed fella.........and I'm pretty much the same, been training etc for last 32 years, owned a gym in the past. Everyone is looking for the next quick fix..........there isn't one
