TOPIC: Working out question AGAIN lol

Created by: ReadyToGo219 Original Starting post for this thread:
Ok I think I am on the right track but I am always looking for suggestions. I work out on Saturday, Sunday in the morning. Monday and Wednesday in the afternoon. My workout consists of 30 minutes on the tread mill and then about another 30 minutes working out with weights and machines while rotating on the part of the body. Ie....Saturday, arms and chest, Sunday Legs and Stomach etc.... My questions are: 1) Does this regiment appear to be adequate and #2) Is there a way that at my age I can develop a tighter stomach with something resembling a six pack? As always......Thanks Pete

Most people can figure out how to work out, most people cannot eat the strick diet needed to get to their goals. It's is by far harder to stick with a clean diet. But at 48 you are very likely fighting against dropping testosterone level and an increasing Estrodiol (E2) levels. Email me if you are interested in more information.

If you can cut your workout time down by increasing the intensity then you can actually get stronger in under an hour allowing your body to burn more calories throughout the day. For example, 30 min treadmill, How often do you take the incline to 15%? If your doing a traditional workout routine make sure your exhausting the groups and move on to other groups in the same day really challenging your stamina and strength. Chest/shldr/tri can be done in one simple plyo pushup and then you can move on to pull ups. No need to waste time "pumping" specific chest areas individually because those exercises dont help generate more power. Good for the beach but bad for your overall conditioning and as long as your burning more calories than eating with a good% of calories being Carb based you will have the energy and ability to burn fat while you sleep. Oh and only 14% of the pop have a genetic six pack so good luck!

User Details are only visible to members.	Hi Pete! I'm an ISSA Cert. Trainer and 12 year Body conditioning coach. The answer to your question about the 6 pack is YES. The "6 pack" comes from dieting , not so much the workout. Remember 3,2,1 (3 parts carb, 2 parts Protein, 1 part fat). Don't buy in to the BS fad diets. They're just marketing schemes to suck money out of a growing industry. Make sure you're dividing up your workouts so that you're not working primary and stabilizer muscles together. (i.e. chest Primary and triceps stabilizer) 30 min of cardio maybe twice a week would be good enough if you're looking to keep it lean. Find a set of bleachers and start climbing those steps. Keep the weight moderate and the reps around 15-20 per set. If you can't do 15-20 correctly, lower the weight until you can. I hope this helps. If you have specific questions please feel free to msg me. I'm creating a program that will be specifically for LS since we all love to play in our B-Day suits. I'd love to hear from others too. The better shape you're in, the better the play time.

Genetics plays a big role on where body fat is reduced & where it is stored. Unfortunately when I started doing Crossfit and watching my diet more, it was reduced in my upperbody (and I lost fat in my boobs as well as my stomach). My lowest (at the end of a diet challenge this summer) was 14%. mrs svc

User Details are only visible to members.	Google Image search "Body fat percentage" and look for the one that has a series of images of men/women at different percents. I think most guys want the 10-12% look. To reiterate what others have said: Body fat % is mostly about your diet. Working out is what makes you feel good, look good, perform good! Both are important but if you want that lean look, look to your diet. Second - Do a dynamic warm up (light treadmill, jumping jacks, etc.) then do your lifting before treadmill. You will be able to challenge your muscles more when you still have the energy, then get the good calorie burn from the cardio. If your overall goal is to burn calories (and it sounds like it is), find compound lifts; Bench-press, squat, dead-lift, rows, pull-ups, push-ups, etc. Do these in sets with little rest between them so your heart rate gets elevated. Basically an evil combination of cardio and weights!

User Details are only visible to members.	for what its worth i am a few years older than your posted age. in the past year i have added an inch to my arms. my 32" pants almost fall off now and i have actually gained a little weight. still don't have a visible six pack but the core under the last bit of fat is tighter with larger muscle. i just want to put a little more muscle on before i strip off the last bit of extra padding. after all a six pack on a thin guy is just skinny. as an added bonus i have a bad back from construction related falls and injury. absolutely no back pain since starting my new workout regimen.

User Details are only visible to members.	To have a six-pack, your diet needs to be very high quality. You will need to lower your body fat % to about 7%, and that is not easy at any age. You can reduce fat with a combination of great diet, weight training (which will increase your metabolism and dissolve fat) and some cardio. As far as lifting, you should always start your routine with a compound lift (bench press, squats or dead-lifts), using free weights, before moving on to isolated muscle groups.
