How do i lose the fat off my upper and lower abs and maybe pecs?
I heard the you need to do cardio exercises rather then just crunches to lose belly fat. I am a 16 year old kid 6’1 190 pounds. What cardio exercises do i need to do and how long or how many times do i do them each day. Also can you guys give me an estimate of how long it will take me to lose my belly fat?
crunches dont burn fat, it only builds up your ab muscles. reducing in particular areas is only possible with liposuction. otherwise you need to slim down your overall body with cardio. easiest is walking, jogging, running…anything that has your limbs and bodies constantly moving. theres no good estimate because everyone is different and it depends on how hard you work at it.
ps, you will also want to eat healthier if you dont already

Do the FX 12 fat burning workout and diet program. It’s a 12 day workout and diet plan you can cycle as many times a you want. The workout videos and diet are free on the Fat X 101 blog. It’s an awesome program to tone up! Good luck!

Getting a nice set of abs is such a misunderstood process. It’s actually a lot easier than most people think which is why most people are in a never ending quest to get that perfect six pack – it’s because they’re doing all the wrong things.
When you eat more calories than you burn, your body takes those extra calories and stores them as fat somewhere on your body. For some people, the #1 fat storage area is around the thighs and for others it might be around the stomach – it differs from person to person. Sometimes the fat is perfectly distributed around the body so it’s not as big of a concern.
If an excessive amount of fat is stored around your stomach, the reason that you’re not seeing your abs is because your body fat percentage is too high. What you need to do is create a calorie deficit (take in less calories than you burn) so that your body is forced to use its fat stores for energy. After a few weeks of doing this, you’ll notice that your abs will start to show.
You first step is to figure out how many calories you burn each day. Use this calculator http://calorieneedscalculator.com for an estimate. Now you need to increase the amount of calories you burn by exercising more and decreasing the amount of calories you eat. Cut out junk food such as fast food, candy and sugar. Eat foods that are high in fiber: bread and pasta made from 100% whole wheat, brown rice, oats, fruits and vegetables.
You shouldn’t ignore targeting your abs with sit ups, leg raises and twists but doing hundreds of sit ups won’t do anything about the layer of fat that is covering them. Cardio and calorie restriction should be your main focus. If you need more details on getting a six pack, visit The Straight Health Forums – http://forums.straighthealth.com
