Burning Fat

Hey, kamzter.

Burning fat, especially when your goal is to trim down your chest, takes a while. Running is great and will definitely burn fat (provided your diet is correct, i.e. less caloric intake than what you're burning). Jumping rope is also great. But in my opinion, nothing beats hitting a heavy-bag. Great workout, great stress relief.

For your chest: Push-ups. Lots of push-ups. You could also lift weights, which (in combination with running, especially) will also burn a lot of fat.

Hope that helps.

It takes more calories to support muscle (this is importent) EVEN AT REST than it does to support fat. So if you build muscle you are making a fat burning machine. Steady aerobic training is not that good (well no training where you do the samething is) your body adapts to the stress and your progress levels off. Working in stages, cycles what ever you want to call it where the intensity level; changes, that keeps your body guessing and you making progress. Add some push ups and some grass hill or bleacher sprints for a change into your running. When you get used to that 2-3 weeks change somemore Also helps keep you from being bored Rock The rest of life starts now, I can't go back and change the past With enough determination, I can shape the future!

Gotta give props on the saying at the end. Some good info there also. I lost nearly 20 in about a month and a half of running and training. During my runs I always had that sweat or sauna suit on, but only the top not the bottoms. Does anybody know if that really helps u lose weight? I know it make u lose water weight but would anybody recommend it for losing weight?

Like you said the sauna suits make you lose water weight and quite frankly, unless you are trying to make a certain weight, there is no good reason to be training in it. You do not want to dehydrate yourself on a continuous basis. Lose the sauna suit until you need it.

Thanks for the info!
