walking that fine line

mp1li Posts: 17 Joined: 2004/02/23	2004/03/24, 11:35 AM I am currently training 4 days a week, plus cardio 3 times a week. I have been training for about 10 weeks. I have seen results in the weight loss area (went from 192 to 162) and my strength and muscle tone has increased. I am happy with my results with one exception. I still have the flab in the gut. I know you can't spot reduce, but I have some concerns about this. It is very difficult to walk the line of eating right so you reach results and decrease your body fat. I geuss I should up the cardio and increase abs. I workout at night around 8:00 PM and I am concerned with eating after workouts cause it is so late (around 10:00-10:30) -------------- Michael

Continue what you have been doing (good job!!) and either add a bit more cardio or drop your caloric intake by around 200 calories. Give it two weeks and see how it is going. -------------- "To be able to go to the gym and train hard is a joy and a privelege, even though the hard work necessitates driving yourself through considerable discomfort.
