    the measuring tape is the least accurate.. get a caliper or get yourself measured in a hospital haha

    Buy a digital weighing scale that has a body fat analyzer

    OMRON Karada Scan costs Php 5800

    I bought one at Automatic Centre


    A fat caliper is better according to Tom Venuto but I can't find one here in the Philippines. I even inquired at St. Luke's hospital and the staff there just gave me a dumb look on his face

    Hi. Sana okay lang po itong tanong ko.

    May kaso po ba kung mag cardio ako (30mins) every after ng workout (m-w-f)? I mean, hindi naman po ba masyado mabubugbog ang muscles since nag workout na ako before doing cardio? Mas okay po ba yung ganito kesa yung mag cardio ako for 1hr every non-workout day (t-th-s)?

    May post dati si nrg500 about doing cardio 8 hours before or after ng workout ata. Forgot about it so hintayin natin siyang magpost.

    But personally, I'd go for T-Th din. Or cardio separately, kunwari workout M-W-F and morning and then after work dun ako mag cardio.

    Nagawa ko na rin yung Cardio before and after workout nung fufu pako. Ok naman. Hindi naman bugbog katawan ko. Napansin ko lang mas madaling mag cardio after ng workout kesa before. Ang hirap cardio before and then workout, ambilis ko mapagod pag ganun. ^_^

    ^ tulad na sabi ni red

    iba-iba ang katawan natin

    sa akin, gym day offs ko ginagawa ang cardio


    di na ako nag-cardio before workout

    ang warm-up ko ay yung exercise na mismo


    halimbawa, chest exercises ang target ko this session, ang warm up ko ay bench press pero 50% lang ng capacity ko. then slowlu increasing the weight but decreasing the reps as I reach my full capacity

    kapag ok na, 100% capacity na @ 6 to 8 reps. Succeeding chest exercises don't need warmup anymore

    Okay lang ba yung mag cardio kahit wala pang kain? Natry ko na din po kasi mag cardio dati kahit di pa ako kumakain, I think kaya naman po ng resistensya ko since pure cardio lang naman. I mean kung mas mabilis po ba ito mag burn kesa yung nakakain na ko?

    btw, I'm taking N.O. Xplode every workout day (mwf), ibig sabihin po ba dapat na din ako mag take ng N.O. kung i-consider ko as cardio day yung TTh ko?

    broscience yang sinabi mong "I mean kung mas mabilis po ba ito mag burn kesa yung nakakain na ko?"

    di ko masasagot yan tol na katawan mo.....ikaw try mo..pero para sakin mukhang ok naman...basta wag lang mag cardio na masakit ulo dahil sa puyat or masakit tiyan dahil sa gutom kasi kahit sino naman ma out of focus hehe...

    ako minsan cardio walang laman tiyan...pero kadalasan meron...

    try mo muna mga 3-5months kung mag loose ka...

    NO Explode?siguro maaga pa para gumamit ng supps hehe...

    Naghahanap po ako ng kahati para sa bibilin Lipo 6 black sa anselka sa CNC next week. sino na po naka try bumili ng tingi sa cutting edge sa greenhills na lipo 6? nabasa ko lang din dito heheh

    @ karlz130

    napansin ko lang, puro dyan fat burner ang question mo...

    dapat siguro, magtanong ka muna tungkol sa proper diet at weight training


    parang obsessed ka dyan sa fat burner... parang iniisip mo na di mababawasan ng taba kung di ka iinom nyan

    wag ka sana ma-offend, ang nakikita ko syo ay gusto mo ng instant fat loss


    liposuction lang way para sa instant fat loss

    besides that, hardwork at discipline ang kailangan
  • karlz130karlz130 Posts: 163
    Nasa proper diet stage na kasi ako sir and more on cardio and lifting ng box. gusto ko lang talaga ng Lipo 6 kasi mind over matter. pag nagtatake ako feeling ko malakas ako at naglolose talaga ako ng weight

    In terms of fitness, body weight is irrelevant

    As long as your body fat is 12% or lower, you would be fine

    I agree na ung weight eh medyo least of the concern na un. more on what you look like on front of the mirror.

    hi to all!
    Tanong ko lang po if situps would help flatten my belly? I want to get rid of my belly especially on the side. Yung sa harap po hindi gano kalaki pero ung sa tagiliran ko malaki e:))
    Any advise?
  • boss_jboss_j Posts: 1,243
    boss, situps alone will not help you flatten your belly you have to pair it with proper diet and exercise "cardio"

    More info
    The misconception among the masses is that the more sit-ups you do, the more crunches you do, the more you exert your abdominal muscles, the quicker you will flatten your stomach.

    That may show some short-term, mediocre results, but flattening your stomach is all about shedding the overall fat in your body. It is common knowledge that you can be a lean, skinny person, and still have a gut.

    Why? Because your gut is the last place that will lose the fat, your other body parts will lose fat first. That is just how the human body works.

    You can do exercises to flatten stomach forever. By doing that, what you are doing is developing your abdominal muscles and creating definition, that nice ripped look that we all want. However, guess what? Those beautiful abs are covered by a layer of fat on your belly, so you can workout all you want - but until you shed that fat, you will never be able to see the definition in your midsection.

    In fact, by continuously working out, you are adding lean muscle to your abs, which is good. The dilemma is that if you don't do proper cardio exercises and follow a proper diet plan, you can end up making your midsection look bigger because you've developed all that great defined muscle under there, and you've got a layer of fat covering it at the same time.

    Body fat levels are everything when it comes to flattening your stomach and getting great, ripped, shapely abs.

    Men can expect their abs to start showing usually when they reach a 10-13% body fat level. However, if you want your abs to be ripped like the ones on those guys in the fitness magazines, you should be striving to achieve at least high single digits in body fat levels.

    Women can expect their abs to start showing when their body fat levels reach about 15%. Go just a couple of digits under that and you can start having that amazing ripped look in your abs.

    Achieving and maintaining a ripped look for women is just a bit more difficult than in men. It is not as easy for a female's body to maintain low fat levels as it is for a male's body. Always consult with your physician and a professional fitness trainer before attempting to reduce your body fat levels.

    So, should we completely rule out sit-ups and crunches when doing exercises to flatten your stomach? Absolutely not. These exercises can definitely contribute to building a flatter stomach and the overall appearance of your torso, but they will not achieve that goal on their own.

    Doing more sit-ups and crunches to achieve a flat stomach is not necessarily better than doing less. It is more about the technique and how you exert your abdominal muscles when you do these exercises.

    It is not just about the amount of sit-ups you are able to do. It is about creating a balance between doing exercises to flatten your stomach, and following a smart diet plan to help you get the most out of those workouts.
