Well done for losing so much weight Ben and good luck with the gym. Make sure you stick it out as so many people give up really quickly :D

[benjamin]

i been gymming it since march now, thought it'd be a phase, but it's not! i go 4 times a week and thoroughly enjoy it, i'm pretty strict with myself.

just watched that video and it looks pretty awesome. cheers man!

No problem, don't exert yourself though, only do those once a day!

Or for shorter periods twice a day possibly or you will just cramp up, if you feel an ache it's working, carry on through the aches for a bit but try to stop when it becomes a pain haha

Incline on treadmill should help them after you do them as you keep the muscles working but you aren't straining them, just straining your thighs :P

[benjamin]

yeah, i've started using incline more than speed on the treadmill these past couple of weeks. cheers for the tips!

Sit-up's really are your main friend here, but also try squats and layign on your back and using your stomach to lift your legs up in the air (keep them straight).

Also, the rowing machine has been shown to improve your ab's if you slightly lean back on each row. You'll feel the burn!

get a heavy weight balance on the back of your bum and lift the weight siide to side reapeat 40+ depends how u feel

Benching, deadlifts and squats are by far the best for chest and arms. Do an intense workout a maximum of every second day though. If you do it too often you're simply just "ripping" your muscles over and over again without building up any mass.

i didn't know that about the rowing machine, but then thinking about it - you're right, it would.

thanks!

i have no idea what you're on about.

i know i really need to start doing free weights more, most of the time i just haven't got a clue what to do with them!

youtube p90x ab ripper, within 4 weeks of doing the workout twice a day everyday i lost all my belly fat i built up in a year and starting noticing my abs.
after another 3 weeks, i got a nice set of abs, now i do the workout 3 days a week , and only once on them days.

all thiese exercises work for abdominal area.
weights dont do anything for what you asked.

and i am a guaranteed source for this information, and i guarantee what i say is right.
