i lost my beer gut and gained 15 pounds of muscle when I started riding broncs.  I got my beer gut because I broke my leg on the last bull I rode.  So I drank to dull the pain no pills.  Got fat.  Started riding broncs lost my gut worked hard gained 15 in muscle.  fat weighs more than muscle so for me to say that means hard ridin and hard work.

Ok, you already have abs....believe it or not. And dig this, the reason you don't see the defined muscles, is because there's fat on them. Oh my goodness, to lose fat, means to lose weight. Sorry, Logic dictates, it just won't work any other way.

Eat high calorie meal and work out to build muscles. I know that you would think that you would loose weight if you work out but just remember that muscle weighs more than fat.

Yes, weight training. Muscle is much heavier than fat and it looks better, also you will loose fat much more rapidly than muscle. So i suggest increasing your GOOD calorie count, carbohydrates and fats and get some form of good Whey Protien then hit the gym. \n\nTo get results i suggest not to mess around. Hire a fitness trainer for maybe three months so he or she can at least teach you the correct way to eat and workout in order to gain muscle.\n\nPS just keep at it and you will gain the weight you want so badly just do not look for anything overnight but it will come.

i dont know about all that cellulite and secret voodoo stuff for losing weight.  going to the gym and excercising is the best thing to do.  dont worry about that other stuff.  for you to lose fat you'll want to run and do cardiovascular and endurance lifting.  dont try to run it all off though.  you burn so many calories for the first 30 minutes of a run and then you dont burn so much after that so its not the miracle way to do it (i dont remember the exact numbers but im in the Army and i run a lot so trust me).  when you work out with weights, use a lower weight with high repititions.  10-12 reps for 5 sets should be a good place to start.  make sure its a low enough weight that you can get 12 reps out of for the first 4 sets but it should be heavy enough that by the 5th set you might not be able to get all 12 or barely get the last one at least.  the reason endurance lifting is better for you is it will gain lean muscle mass and burn more of the fat because of the longer time spent doing the excercise.  stay with it and good luck

You could excersise alot and run alot.  If you do that you will be losing fat but you will be gaining muscle and muscle is heavier then fat.

No, but it will help you to gain muscle mass.\nThe only way to lose weight is to expend more calories than you take in, and this can only be accomplished with diet and/or exercise.

Yes.  Assuming your working out, it goes straight to building and repairing muscles, which weigh more than fat, which will cause you to gain weight.  It will probably work even if youre not working out, just more slowly.

Sure!\nDoing all that physical work, you burned off a lot of fat. At the same time, you gained muscle. \nHowever, the amount of fat you lost is MORE than the muscle you gained. Therefore, even though muscle weighs more than fat, your weight stayed the same.\n\nExample: Let's say you lost 3 blobs of fat and gained 1 chunk of muscle. Let's also say that a blob weighs 3 pounds, and a chunk weighs 9 pounds.\nYou lost: 3 blobs x 3 pounds = 9 pounds\nYou gained: 1 chunk x 9 pounds = 9 pounds\nYour weight stayed the same.

You can't target weight loss to any specific region of your body. When you lose weight, in general, you will lose from your face, down. Doing Pilates is very beneficial, however, and, if you stick with it, will help in the weight loss process, as well as build muscle. Don't worry about your legs getting "too big" with muscle. They won't get "too big", and a muscular body is healthier than an out of shape, overweight one.

What are you trying to do? Lose weight or gain muscle?\n\nIf you are trying to lose weight, then DON'T be lifting. It will add muscle, but you won't lose the weight.\n\nIf you are trying to gain muscle, then you should start a full-out workout plan, which includes changing your diet. It does take a lot of work, and can be dangerous if not done properly. Research it more.\n\nAs a side note, you should be doing your exercises every other day. Never do the same exercise twice in a row. If you work one set of muscles one day, then work the another set the next day. The way you gain muscle is by tearing muscle when working out, and then giving it time to repair.

cellulite, simply put, is nothing but fat. Specifically, it is subcutaneous body fat, or the top layer of fat just underneath the skin. Cellulite takes on its dimpled appearance when 'sunlight and a natural loss of oestrogen cause the skin to thin and lose its elasticity over time,' says Tom Sanders, a professor of nutrition at King's College, University of London. 'We all store fat underneath the skin, and like a string net stretched over meat at the butchers, the skin acts as a net covering fat, which pokes through the pockets and forms dimples,' Professor Sanders explains. The truth is that men and women both suffer from cellulite's unsightly effects, but men tend to have less of it because they have more muscle and body hair and less body fat than women.\n\n'Creams may increase blood flow to the cellulite-ridden area and help break up the fat, but it won't get rid of it,' adds Professor Sanders. He suggests that the negative perception of cellulite was created by the cosmetic and slimming industries to make women feel insecure about their bodies so that they'll spend more money on products.\n\nModerate exercise combined with sensible nutrition and adequate rest is the solution\n\n the best exercises are based on a good resistance programme, such as yoga, Pilates, conventional strength training or a combination of all three. 'The goal is to isolate the muscles and build up lean tissue in both your big and small muscles.The reasoning behind this is that muscles require more energy than fat to function, so increasing your lean tissue raises your metabolic rate (the speed at which you burn calories). As a result you burn more body fat.Futhermore, even when your muscles are at rest, they require fuel to recover from exertion. So the more muscle you have, the more fuel you need - and the more calories you burn.\nTo build up lean tissue do two or three total body resistance workouts a week.

If you are doing as you say, exercising and eating right then you have to remember that muscle weighs more than fat. It is not something that is going to happen magically you have to keep working at it You sound like you are at a good weight just keep working at it and there should be no problems. Good luck to you.

Doing exercises that target certain muscle groups will work to increase muscle mass on those areas. To burn fat, just general exercise (jogging, running, bicycling, swimming etc) will burn fat but it will burn fat evenly across the body. There is no way to target certain areas for fat burning.\nPills can increase muscle mass, but once you stop taking them, the muscle mass will decrease. They also have adverse affects on your heart and arteries/veins that could greatly increase your risk of a heart attack.

You can not target weight loss. You can target toning. However, by targeting only parts of your body that you find "fat", you may start to build muscle under the fat and actually make those parts of your body seem larger! Work out your whole body, do aerobic exercise, and watch your diet.
