I’ll admit I have a gut that I want to get rid of and I want to gain muscle.
So I know cardio gets rid of fat but too much can burn muscle.
And eating a lot of protein-rich food and such, can get you muscle but it will stick to my gut because of my low metabolism.
Can someone help me find the perfect balance in order to lose my gut and gain muscle?
Vegetables
UFC fighters have recently switched to it, Shaolin monks have been doing it, even some olympians are going vegetarian!
And Cardio works like this:
You get your heart rate up
It’ll burn through Glycogen first
Then it’ll burn through fat
Once there’s no fat to burn, it’ll burn your muscles
So as long as you have a little fat left, don’t worry about burning muscles.
You could weight-lift, though I suggest you get help. You could easily injure yourself.
Finally, eat 5 small meals instead of 3 big ones. This boosts your metabolism and keeps you from gorging/overeating.
Initially let me tell you that you have to have a workout guide or plan which you can and will follow. I’m not going to lie, that’s by far the most important factor mainly because most people will quit right after a week or so if they don’t have an agenda for the next few weeks. Finding a workout is easy, it’s sticking to it that’s the hard part.
I would recommend checking out a website called Free Health Study where you can get some more information on guides and workout routines then choose the best one for you. I’ve used it quite a bit to find solutions to my health problems and I’m certain it can help you lose that “gut” you’re talking about.
Keep in mind to enjoy what you are doing at the gym or else you won’t be doing it for long. The one thing I commonly see in men and women working out at the gym is that they don’t appreciate and enjoy their time there so I don’t see them come back very often.
If you enjoy what you are going to be doing I’m certain you will see the outcomes you would like.
Good luck!
20 minutes of cardio – Skipping or Running Or a brisk walk – a day
45-60 minutes of weights, using compound exercises, by which I mean exercises that involves more than one muscle i.e. chest press incorporates shoulders, tri’s and chest.
Eat lean meals, cut out snack-y junk food. Lean chicken and vegetables.
