Helping You To Lose Weight
Does weight training help with reducing body fat percentage ? If yes then can anyone suggest a weight training plan/routine which I can follow to burn my body fat % my current body fat is 31% and I have been doing a lot of cardio but it doesn't seem to be helping.....
Hi I am Aaron. I am 17 years old. 185 lbs. Big upper and lower body. Chubby around thighs, abdominals and my sides.
I've been bodybuilding for the last six months, eating a lot, putting on a lot of muscle.
I love martial arts. I'm a blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do and a brown belt in my MMA class (in my class, my master involves over 26 types of martial arts. We do stand up and ground game. Ground game is my favorite)
My question for anybody that has any advice to give me is, If i want to keep bodybuilding, but eating a sustainable amount of calories, fats, proteins and carbs, would i still be able to keep a slim enough body to get a good martial arts workout every day? I want to start running everyday which would burn away excess fat around my abdominals and my sides. I want to keep building muscle but i want to burn fat (at a faster rate than I am from weight training) I want to become more agile, quicker, build my endurance and strength. become faster with my punches and kicks and submission moves. i want to become more flexible and (at the same time) be better built than my opponent.
If you can keep up with that then please post any advice you have for me.
any workout routines that you think would work for me.
i weight train monday through friday, isolation workouts, monday is chest, tuesday is shoulders, wednesday is abs and arms, thursday is back and friday is legs. I drink a protein shake after my workouts (which are an hour and a half long) i lift heavily and i go up weight every set.
I seem to not have the right motivation or inspiration to start any type of fat loss program. All i've been worried about lately is just muscle gain and now i'm ready to start losing fat at an extraordinary level compared to how slow it's been from just weight training. I know muscle burns fat but i think involving MORE martial arts would burn calories (ultimately fat) easier and quicker.
I want to continue weight training and eating enough calories to build muscle but i want to eat enough to where ive got the energy to run everyday and still have enough calories left over in my body for muscle gaining.
PLEASE ANY HELP OR WEBSITES ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Thanks, Aaron.
I'm 30, male, and my weight is ~185.
I'm currently weight training 6 days a week and doing cardio every other day. For cardio, I do the hill programs at 6.3 mph and for 33 minutes (which burns about 500 calories).
When I started exercising I saw a quick loss in fat, but since then (about a month), I've seen little progress in my belly/oblique fat. My current daily calories are ~1400 and it is a high-protein diet.
My question is: should I run more? I've been told that running reduces one's muscle, which is what burns the fat. Any advice would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I'm not concerned about my weight, but just the fat collection in my gut. I'm of a skinny build everywhere else.

I hate weight training and am not allowed to walk because of chronic plantar fasciitis in my feet, I am trying to diet without much success, any quick fix suggestions for a 10 or 15 pound loss (20 would be great). HELP!!
Alright, so basketball tryouts are in 2 months and I would like to lose some weight, not muscle, just fat. Losing about 15 pounds would be my goal. I'd also like to tone up and maybe build muscle along the way. I'm already quite on the athletic side, but if I lost some of my excess fat and I'd be even better at sports. All I have for weight training is a 15 pound dumbbell and I have en elliptical. One of the biggest problems is my lazyness, procrastination, and motivation. I'm always telling myself I'l start cardio tommorow but I never do (this has been going on for almost 6 months lol). I can't really enroll in a sport because the seasons pretty much over and winters coming in. Any ideas? How should I start this fitness plan and fat loss plan?

My son is now two and I have been trying to lose weight since I have had my baby. During my pregnancy I gain around 65 pounds; my pre-pregnancy weight was 135. Right now I am 160 and still trying my best t get to at least 140 but it's so hard. As for my tummy, while it's not saggy, it's not as firm as it was before I had my son. Are there any tips that I can follow as it relates to changing my excercise regimen (I do at least 3 times a week: 20 minutes on the stair climber, 20 minutes on the tredmill, and at least 30 miuntes weight training and abdominal work) and diet.
I just recently upped my workout routine and was wondering when I would see the fat loss (assuming I am doing everthing correctly, diet, workout plan, etc) Is there some kind of delay on fat loss, or, say if you lost 1/4 pound in a day, would you actually see it?
Thanks!
The upped routine is 3-4x a week 30 min of weight training, and 7 days of 45 min on the eliptical. (I was going only 4 days a week doing weights 3 days and cardio all 4)

Over the last year I have lost about 40lbs......currently I am 6'4" and 270 (started out at 310). I have gotten lazy and been hanging around the same weight for months and not eating as well. I was doing alot of cardio and no weight training when I lost most of my weight. I am begining to think that I should focus on more weights and less cardio to burn fat all the time (I currently have a very small muscular upper body). How will this do for a fitness plan......2 months of weightlifting to build muscle....followed by one month of cardio....then repeat. I definetly need to build muscle and assume that even when I am in the weightlifting portion of my training I will still be losing some fat if I eat properly, thus toning up quite a bit. How does this sound?
