I do need more advice on how to get rid of these last few pounds.

I can already see my six pack BUT I've still got some fat around my waist and I've been working hard to get rid of it but I might be doing something wrong.

Anyone got any advice on that?

Mick is the fat around your stomch mostly at the bottom of your stomach ? because thats common because majority of people. Don't work there lower stomach enough.

Yes it is at the bottom but I do work it out.
I several sit up routines.
To work all the areas of my stomach.

What would you say are the best ones to work the lower part of the stomach?

Salty is right that you can't get rid of fat in one area, thats a myth the only thing that will make that fat go is cardio and cutting the calories. But some good lower ab exercises are hanging leg raises.

If you have a chin up bar get on it and make sure your palms are facing away from you. Your body should be straight then lift your legs keeping them straight, and raise your legs almost level with your abs. If thats too hard at first, then just try and lift them as far as you can, or bend your knees to your chest. And work up to it.

This video here Mick is what your looking for and make sure, you don't use any swinging motion.

Another one is called Double Leg Raises i believe, not sure of the name. But basically lay flat down on a mat. Put your hands behind your butt with your palms facing the floor. Then lift your legs up to round about 90 degree angle, keep your legs straight and hold it for a few seconds then lower your legs. Until there almost hitting the floor then raise your legs in the same position as last time and keep repeating it until you can't do no more.

Theres two good ones there i'll give you some more later, but i just want to find out if your doing them ones first. Because there some of the most effective lower ab exercises.

Mick with the Foot, Try going Southpaw on the bag. It will give you a better feel where you should be with your feet, alternate each round you might get a better understanding.

I don't think you can spot loose fat with exercise. From memory though I think they say that people who eat a high protein and low carb diet with the same calories as a high carb and low protein diet will have less fat around their stomachs.

So they might still gain weight but store it in different areas and actually fat around your stomach is associated with risk of heart disease more too i think.

I read this in the front of a high protein and low carb diet recepe book but it was released in Australia by the CSIRO which are a major government funded legitimately recognised scientific group.

A higher proportion of protein in your diet might also curb cravings more anyway.

Yea Sharla...I know for sure when I was cutting weight and going high protein/low carb...in one week I lost 7 pounds, and the most obvious part of it was in my stomach. I looked incredibly ripped and the abs were very defined. Now this was a bit extreme as was working out hard and running 2 and 3 times a day also to shed.

Now that I am working on gaining and going high carb....well, haaa...those cool abs folks look for are no longer there. (I suppose they are still there...just hiding under a layer of fat )

[Sharla]

don't worry Youngblood - my AMAZING six pack is hiding too!

Sometimes i think people are actually at their fittest and healthiest when lean but no too lean anyway!

[Salty]

One thing I forgot to mention was fish oil, that stuff is the closest you will ever come to spot reducing on your stomach. So many studies have proven it to be a fat loss aid, in particular your waist line for some reason. Not to mention the thousands of other benefits you get from it. It's cheap as hell as well, so start swallowing that fish oil!

yep, diet and cardio get that off of you- the sit-ups and crunches get you something good to look at when the fat's off. it's like that last 5-10 pounds takes 6 months to come off completely. stick with it.

Will work on updating this log tomorrow.
I've got a video of me training on my gym.

Will also do an update on my weight & training I've done.

Hey Mick,

I've briefly skimmed over your workout log. Keep up the good work.

The last bit of fat on your lower stomach has nothing to do with not doing enough lower ab work. Like someone has said, it will be to do with your diet and training.

Try interval training. That has hands-down worked the best for me when I needed my abs back. You are doing a form of interval training anyway on the bag. E.G. Your 75 jabs and then resting etc.

My example is that I am doing 2 minutes of non stop combinations on the bag then 1 minute of rest. Rinse and repeat for 10 rounds. Then you add progressions. I.E. More rounds, more work time or less recovery. (3 minutes instead of 2)

Give your body a reason to drop that last bit of fat..because believe me, it doesn't want to! You need to force it to!

I'll check over your workout log some more later, I have more time now because I have gone part time to train more of my own clients. I'll help you out anyway I can if you need it. Just let me know.
I'm off to bed now. Keep working hard. You'll get there!
