obliques and belly flab

shovav1982 Posts: 1 Joined: 2004/10/25	2005/07/20, 10:11 AM I was wondering what I can do to keep from getting love handles and flab around the belly. I was a fairly thin guy and decided to put on weight and work out. I gained 25 lbs (most of it muscle) in just over two years. For some reason I cant get rid of my new friends flab and love handles. i do cardio 3 times a week but find that I want my six pack again. Any suggestions to keep up progressive muscle gains without the extra fat?

You should be getting 30-45 min at a time...might try 4-5 days for a week or two just to get the process rolling. Otherwise the majority of fat loss will happen in the kitchen...watch your diet and you should be able to get there.

I eat pretty well now, stopped drinking for the summer, do 2-3 cardio sessions per week, and do 3-5 ab routines per week. I find now I have a defined 4-pack, but my lower stomach (my beer belly) has not changed at all. I've only been doing this for 3 weeks, and I've noticed changes everywhere, but where I wanted too.
