Exercising can be misunderstood, and harmful to the results you want if you are not doing the right ones. Here are some tips to help you out…
If you are looking to gain muscle, you will need to increase your caloric intake. Also, you need to lift weights. Larger weight, however, fewer reps. Power lifting will gain large muscle. This part of the subject is not what I will be going over. We will be focusing on loosing weight and gaining lean muscle.
If you are looking to tone down, and loose weight, you will need to lower your caloric intake. With this, if you lift weights, u must lift low weight, but with a lot more rep. Make sure to supersede with running.
Fact: Using targeting muscle workouts for abs will not loose belly fat.
Only two things to this. One, running and core cardio workouts. Two, eating the right fats. It takes fats to breakdown fats. However, you need to eat the right fats. This includes Poly and mono fats, and does not include trans or sat. Doing a million sit ups will get your abdominal muscles where you want them, however, it will not remove the layer of body fat that covers them.
