Pipe Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 There is no such thing as spot reduction so you'll be better off doing a full body routine than just endless crunches. What is your routine like to begin with?? how about eating habits? Hay nako ako I really really want to lose my tummy fat.. I guess cardio would be the way to go first, and once it's flat.. then go for strength exercises I'm confused ang dami kasi posts before ang hirap naman sundin lahat!! hi chi chi,i quoted coach oly's post for starters.. i suggest you backread and take note of his tips :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment

GrandLurker Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Actually based sa experience ko depende sa morph ng katawan mo yan eh. kung Endomorph(medyo malaki yung midsection) ka tulad ko then mahirap talaga paliitin yung tiyan. Wag kang magbuhat ng weights, puro cardio lang till excess skin na lang ng fats mo ang halos matira or kahit meron pang konting fats ok na. Me? hanggang ngayon nagpapaliit pa rin ako ng midsection ko( I started at 215 lbs. nasa 195 lbs. na lang ako ngayon and my goal is 180-185 before I start pumping the iron), puro jogging lang at push-ups. I have been doing this routine for 3 months running and effective sya, there is no easy roads for me, hehehe. healthy pag nag lo-lose ka ng weight mo for about 1-3 lbs lang per week. pag sumobra duon baka magkaroon ka ng degeneration sa cells mo at baka kung ano pang mangyari sa katawan mo na masama in the long run. And the diet. kung mag ra-rice ka siguraduhin mong hindi ka lalagpas ng 2 cups per week, replace rice with corn and cereals and imbes na pork or beef, chicken breast fillet & fish ang pang build up mo ng protein. (sometimes mahirap talagang alisin ang urge na kumain ng beef or pork so you can at least indulge in those food groups, maybe once every 2 times a week or once a week) And to think yung body type ko ang pinaka mahirap pagandahin ang midsection. ang motto ko ngayon sa exercise? no pain no gain! there is always a light in the end of the tunnel. have a good day.

Palakol Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) sa tingin ko, medyo mahirap maranasan ang iba't ibang klaseng "body type/morph." kaha mahirap ibase sa karanasan. Edited May 4, 2009 by Palakol Quote Link to comment
krispy73 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I tried HIIT last night and it was totally different from jogging at a constant speed for 30 minutes. I lasted for 12 minutes only and felt my heart was really pounding. I will try to finish 20 minutes next time. HIIT might be the solution for my big tummy.sir ask ko lang what is HIIT, interested kasi ko laki din tyan ko :thumbsdownsmiley: Quote Link to comment

Bitoy Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I am a beginner at a gym and have very little physical activity before. I have a 36inch waistline. While starting on my abdominal crunches nagcramps yung abdominal muscles ko as in minutes bago nawala. Mga 10 reps pa lang yun. Is it normal for a beginner? Any suggestion on how I could proceed with the crunches since I think it is vital to reduce my waistline. Quote Link to comment

Actually, you can lose inches and fat without even doing crunches if you follow a good exercise regimen along with a sensible eating plan Quote Link to comment
Bitoy Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) Sorry if this is OT but hindi ko alam kung saang thread dapat ito.Beginner ako sa gym (2 sessions pa lang). As expected, my muscles got sore after my first 2 sessions (nabigla). It is still sore and I am scheduled for my next session. Would you suggest that I skip the strengthening exercises until the pain subside and just focus on cardio for awhile? Or dapat tuloy ko pa rin yung strengthening exercises (tiisin yung pain)?

Hindi naman crippling yung pain. Bawasan ko na lang siguro slightly yung weights para di gaano pwersado. Quote Link to comment
Olympus Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Thanks bro. Hindi naman crippling yung pain. Bawasan ko na lang siguro slightly yung weights para di gaano pwersado. Wag mo bawasan, go through the weights as you would normally, just rest a little extra if needed Quote Link to comment

Bitoy Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Welcome san ka nagbubuhat?Bro, sa Gold's gym sa Walter Mart North Edsa. Naka-trial package pa lang ako na 30visits for P4500 (consumable in 3 months). Di ako willing to spend more sa mga more expensive gyms eh. Quote Link to comment

Bitoy Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 What does your program look like?Bro, it is like this (pardon the terms since I'm not sure if they are the correct ones since I'm really a beginner on this). This was given by the PT during my orientation:1. 10mins on the bike2. 30-40mins treadmill; although I can only do 30mins for now since mababa pa stamina ko. I also cannot do continuous jogging since sumasakit yung legs ko (parang fatigue) so I do intervals of brisk walking and jogging.3. strengthening exercises (?) - mga around 8-10 machines yata yung dinadaanan ko but hindi ko pa tanda yung tawag4. 2 exercises using dumbbells which I assume one is for the biceps and the other is for the shoulders.5. abdominal crunches (hindi ko gaano magawa since nagka-cramps ako)6. 5 mins on the bike.

jhn888 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 graduate na yata ako, now i have a small size pero may love handles pa dincant say if i tried everything na, last chance is to have liposuction na with the way i am spending just have small tyan 1: tried going to the gym 2: have enrolled at marie france, 3 types of program supervised by a doctor pa (it worked) but diet talaga3: take xenical, pineapple meal, xango et al epektib but messy i had a large belly due to the reason that i love to eat good foods, go to fancy restauranti even tried doing marie france, going to the gym and xenical at the same time.now i have a small but a bit noticeable tummy, but if i drink liquor and eat rice, pasta bread buntis eto the next day main secret lang naman is to eat less rice, pasta, bread rolls mga carbo yan,less salty food, dont drink beer(nakakalaki ng tyan yan) drink plenty of water at least 8 glasses do body stretching everyday, and you wont need to spend xenical, marie france or gym membership at all. i now go to the gym for my maintenance to look fit, even though i dont have noticeable reduction to my weight, tummy still there but not garapal na, if working out eat ka muna before going to a workout, mine because of my schedule is after i workout i eat, i know what is right yet i want to do it my way. the reason i still have a love handle is, i still love to eat, i frequent hotel and new restaurant to have a good meal, good meal means more carbo, more salty contents. drink a glass wine for good health. i hope these help Quote Link to comment

Notice.. puro machines. And then for W2 if you take it, they'll put you through a battery of tests but none would really be used in writing your program down. Sorry to say this but I know this not from heresay but I have been a member of gold's even nung ginagawa pa ang makati branch and I also worked there for a time. If you want a better approach, let me know and I'll help you out Quote Link to comment
