thrall Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Of course disiplina talaga in the first place..Pero itong site na to extensive ang instruction para at least di na tayo nangangapa kung ano gagawin andyan na lahat, its for you to make it happen bro...As for me, from bilbil 3 mos ago, ngayon kahit papano may guhit na sa gitna ng 4 na "upper pack" siguro mga 3 mos pa mapalitaw na yung lower abs tsaka obliques....OK na sakin kahit Paul Walker lang obliques tsaka abs...

papalnuncio Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Good Morning mga Sirs.I saw the site about the six pack. My problem is that the body of the guy in his before photo is way more ok than the shape i'm in right now. A guy who weigh more than 200lbs. just can't do those routines just like that.It will be really frustrating. Wala ba yung routine that will help me muna to go down on a level na kung gagawin ko na yung mga six pack workouts na yun ay kayang kaya na. Ok yung site lalo na yung diet tips nya. :cool: Good day mga Sirs. Peace :mtc: Quote Link to comment

They say morning cardio on an empty stomach is ok Me im looking into HIIT training i think it would really rev up your metabolism but how often should HIIT be done Every other day?

hottlipss Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 (edited) well, a balanced meal is great. 5 small balanced meals. you dont need to entirely cut on fats. some are actually good for the body. likewise, spot reduction exercises like crunches, oblique crunches/side bends, leg raises wont really burn the fats surrounding your mid section. 100 reps in 1 set is also absurd. this type of training is so old fashioned and doesnt really work. a good training for cutting or reducing overall bodyfat, inlcuding those stubborn mid section lard, is an effective total body workout which trains all the major muscles. developing your muscles help you burn all those fats and help keep your metabolism rate up. of course, opt for compound exercises instead of isolation exercises. adding supersets and tri-sets also keep the intensity level up a notch to help you burn more calories and shock the body. personally, i dont like splits since they dont burn much calories. if you wanna lose weight, you should learn to love whole body/total body workouts. as for abs training, you dont need to perform a lot of reps. quality over quantity. our abs are muscles too, hence, they work the same way with other muscles. if you are performing a lot of reps, that means your ab muscles arent getting worked out since they can easily work the reps out. instead of doing a lof of reps, try decreasing the repititions you perform but make sure you work the abs intensely either by performing the reps slowly or by adding resistance from cables or plates. you also dont need to exercise the abs everyday since all muscle groups need a day or two to rest. as for cardio, HIIT is better than long but low intense cardio sessions. i know that some would disagree on this but i base this on what ive learned from my coaches when i was a track and field athlete during college. likewise, a good example would be sprinters and marathon runners. sprinters have lean muscles and are thicker compared to marathon runners who have smaller frames, looks thinner, and have smaller muscles. however, when you measure the bodyfat percentage of sprinters against marathon runners, you'll be surprised to know that sprinters have less bodyfat percentage compared to marathon runners. majority of the workout/cardio sessions done by sprinters can be classified as HIIT. long cardio sessions can only burn much when you're just a begginer but sooner or later, your body will adapt to the boring long cardio session... hence the need to apply HIIT, which i guarantee is more challenging and fun! Glad to see posts like this... wish it was that easy to not do as much reps when working out my abs. I don't know if I'm working myself out too muchbut I've been getting sick, throwing up while working out. I drink about 8 oz of water while doing cardio/sculpting workout. I thrive for that burn/tightness after my workout and if I don't feel the tightness the next day, I push myself even more. I work out 2 to 3 times a day....in the morning, 30 to 45 mins then mid afternoon about the same time, andbefore I go to bed about 1 hour. 7 days a week. YES, may be a little excessive ha! I look at my body and I feel the need to work out some more.I yearn for that definition and tone. And I want them NOW dammit! Maybe I'm just impatient and I want instant result. Maybe even possibly addicted. I do see results and that makes me work harder. I just don't know if it's worth the exhaustion I'm going through from all the other posts here. Ayaw ko lang paliitin ang tyan ko, I want those rock hard abs, the defition and tone.... Like this.... I'm currently taking Thermorexin and Glucophase XR from Olympus suggestion. No complains...seems to be pretty good so far. And I'm just super stoked because I just got my Yohimburn ES in the mail now. So I'm going to try that tonight.

Key to losing the flab around the midsection is to do cardio. Nothing too complex. Start with brisk walking for three weeks 30-45 minutes per day 3-4 times a week. If you want to speed up the burn, start jogging. Also, limit your carb intake during meals, 1 1/2 cups of rice if you must. Complex carbs are best (whole wheat, brown rice). Avoid anything made with white flour if possible. Beer and carbonated softdrinks are ab killers. Switch to iced tea if you can't stand drinking non-flavored drinks but water is still the best. Avoid energy drinks such as Gatorade, etc. unless you're performing truly strenuous exercise such as long distance running, etc. These drinks are designed to replenish lost electrolytes during strenuous activity and give you an energy boost by providing simple sugars that your body can digest fairly quickly. If these sugars are not used up they turn into fat. I went from a size 36-38 to a size 33-34 in less than 4 months. :thumbsupsmiley: Edited February 6, 2008 by sixgears Quote Link to comment

Congrats koya! :thumbsupsmiley: I do a combined cardio/strength workouts at home, 7 days a week. Cut down on my rice intake and eliminated sodas from my diet. I'm seeing favorable results...slowly but surely. It's really a lifestyle change and know that what you take in, you have to work out. So kung naparami ang kain ko, I work out extra hard that night. Find a workout that you enjoy; be it walking, biking, hiking, lifting weights. I wasted money on gym membership that I never used. I just don't feel comfortable and I find excuses not to go. But now that I work outat the comforts of my home, I've eliminated those excuses not to work out. And constantly challenging yourself to a longer or more advance, rigourous, workout gives you that self confidence that you've achieved something and you just keep moving forward towards your goal.

Kaya naman pala ... :evil: :evil: A lot of people think there's a magic pill or a magic formula for weight loss. Dalawa lang naman yan eh. Either you work out or go under the knife and get it sucked out. Either way, no pain no gain. For me the lifestyle change was easy because I only had to make a choice; either live or die. I'm type-II diabetic. But the same goes for everyone albeit not that extreme, although the end result can be just as devastating. You might not develop diabetes but there are other diseases that are far more worst. Either way the choice is yours. Quote Link to comment
Wyld Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 as for abs training, you dont need to perform a lot of reps. quality over quantity. our abs are muscles too, hence, they work the same way with other muscles. if you are performing a lot of reps, that means your ab muscles arent getting worked out since they can easily work the reps out. instead of doing a lof of reps, try decreasing the repititions you perform but make sure you work the abs intensely either by performing the reps slowly or by adding resistance from cables or plates. you also dont need to exercise the abs everyday since all muscle groups need a day or two to rest. I agree with this. While diet and exercise are key to keeping weight down and building muscle, it doesnt hurt to work out our abs thru abdominal exercises. The trainers at my gym say that you only need to work your Ab muscles out for 6.5 - 10 minutes a day, 3-5 times a week in order to shape/sculpt them. That means not as many reps but the reps have to be quality reps. By quality reps, that means you do the full range of motion -- from flexion to extension. You also should do not only regular crunches but oblique crunches as well. You also need to do leg lifts / leg extensions to target the tough to sculpt lower abs. I have begun using a small, rubber fitness ball. I just purchased a regular, rubber fitness ball thats around 9 inches wide and partially inflated it. I put this ball at my back or at my side while im doing my crunches/sit ups. I find that this helps me achieve the full range of motion as well as cushions my back so that it doesnt hurt. I got that idea from the Bender Ball infomercial. I just got a generic, rubber fitness ball instead of the Bender ball since there were so many bad reviews about the way that the Bender ball people cheat their customers by sending them multiple balls or enrolling them to receive regular DVD shipments. Check YouTube out for Abs Exercise videos - there are a ton of them out there. Try them out and choose the ones that you think will work best for you. Quote Link to comment
thrall Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 30 to 45 mins cardio??? 15 mins of interval training will burn more calories, plus your body will burn calories all through out the day. 30 to 45 mins of traditional running, brisk walking is a thing of the past.. Quote Link to comment
