getting rid of a gut

[Hydro]

Rocky Marciano never had much of a gut during the course of his boxing career. (What happened after his career was over is another matter!) Good old fashioned boxing training will trim off the fat and get you fit enough to fight 12 hard rounds. It is entirely possible that you are overly conscious of your midsection. Perhaps you should think more about getting in shape and less about becoming a magazine model. Boxers don't need to be pretty, they just have to fight 12 rounds without boring the fans. You are pretty enough already.

I don't box, well not seriously, just for fun/shape. If I was serious about boxing then I'd care less about my physique/looks.

You need to read the entire thread carefully.

There are three reasons your gut hangs out.

1.) Lack of muscle tone ("swayback.") The original poster says that he exercises regularly and does ab workouts, so this is likely not the problem.

2.) Abdominal fat. The original poster says that he is 5'10" and 162 lbs and has a 6-pack when he flexes. A 6-pack would not be visible, flexing or not, under a layer of abdominal fat, so this is likely not the problem, either.

3.) Intestinal buildup and bloating, pushing the stomach muscles out from within. I believe this to be the problem, from his description. And the fix for this is safe and healthful regardless. I believe that he should do the fiber cleanse while continuing on his exercise routine.

This does not seem to be an issue regarding excess fat accumulation. As such, I don't believe that exercise alone will solve the problem that he has described.

Interesting analysis.

I had a few colonic irriations back in the 1980's. The guy doing them dropped dead, and I don't think anybody replaced him in this area. Anyway, there is an unbelievable amount of sludge in a person's colon that can remain there for years. Might be the reason for high rates of colon cancer these days.

According to numerous articles in Men's Health (take it as you might) the most effective way of increasing you metabolism, thus reducing body fat, is lots of interval training. Can do any lenght or time. I can vouch for this from recent personal experience also. I have been stuck at about 175,6,7 for a few months now. I usually ran for 30 minutes in the morning and boxed for a couple of hours in the afternoon. Recently, I stopped doing the 30 minute runs which I did at moderate pace and switched to only interval training. I will run hard for a given lenght of time (100m, 400m, 3 minutes, whatever) and then jog at a quick but not super fast pace for a minute or so. I started this last Monday and today I am down to 168. The reason this works is it stresses your body out and your body can never get use to the training which is what usually happens with the daily 30 minute runs. Another benefit of this style of training is that is mimicks what you are doing in the ring. Long 30 minute runs work on your aerobic capacity; however, much of boxing is anaerobic (high intensity bursts of speed followed by short rest periods) and this style of training works on your anaerobic capacity (or how well your body can use and transport oxygen). I have again only been doing this for a little over a week; however, today I did the longest session of mitt work that I have ever done at once-BY FAR. Also, it you are pressed for time, you may want to try a metabolic enhancer-just be careful. Need to drink lots of water and some have banned substances that may get you in trouble if you ever have to do a piss test after a fight. Hope this help-I am no doctor-but it has worked well for me.

Yeah that's pretty good.

I'm trying something similar, run-walk 1-2 miles in the morning, then going to the exercise bike for 20 minutes. Evening I lift weights and don't eat after 7.

Whenever I see a little bit of excess fat forming around my stomach I go on a veggie diet for a few days and loose it all, but I do have very good metabolism.

It's all quite simple. Its discipline and hard work.


Can you manage to eat veggies and fruit ALL day (few have the will to do it for more then a day or two) ? Low calorie intake and exercise will burn all that fat off because the body NEEDS the energy. If you keep eating, then your body will use food in your stomach for energy and never get to burn up the fat.

Personaly took courses in exercise science, spoke to numerous people who are majors in this field and its all quite simple. There is a huge industry out there for "fat loss" and new bull**** is invented everyday.


Wanna loose fat? Eat food very low in calories three times a day. Have a brocolli head, some bannanas and apples, a hard boiled egg.

Because you will not intake enough calories to support your bodies needs it will go to your fat and use that for energy.

A lot of people start to eat healthy thinking they will loose weight. Well sure you will, but most of the time those diets arent that much less in calories. The fact that youll have 500 calories less in a day then you previously would, will do ****-all for your fat loss.


More Calories in then out = weight gain
More calories out then in= weight loss.
Its that simple.

I know this will seem like a cliche...but i have this same problem too. i have been doing massive amounts of cardio along with working all of my major muscle groups for the past four weeks, and i have cut down my body fat % a lot, but i still have this area at the top of my abs where this fat wont go away. i run intervals for 10-14 miles a day, exercise bike for 5 miles and do oblique and rectus abdominal workouts daily, but it wont go away!...im confused...

Dieting promotes obesity according to the Journal of Obesity.....

I've been told b4 that one of the best ways to burn excess fat from this are is going for a run wear a plastic bag round ur stomach (a cheap version of the sweat suit). Any truth in this? I was told that it's because u obviously sweat more so dehydrate urself faster and burn fat instead of water.

Sorry but that makes no sense at all.
Water contains no calories- your body cannot use water for energy, therefor your body wouldn't be burning it.

the only argument i can see for a sweat suit is that it keeps your core temperature up, so your body has to work harder to pump blood away from your core in order to cool it off. this is why working out in extreme heat is so much harder than working out in the cold.

You can burn a few extra calories with this, the perceived effort is a lot higher when you're fighting against overheating, and you can even lose a few pounds of water weight through sweating- but it does have it's drawbacks. You need to be very careful that you don't overheat or get too dehydrated, like Martin Lawrence did a bunch of years back when he went into a coma trying to lose weight for Blue Streak.
