    Does anyone have advice for the best way to slim down your stomach area, not necessarily to the point of having a 6 pack, but just to get rid of most of it. I have done a good job working my upper body as I have a nice chest built from weight lifting. Just need to get rid of my stomach a little bit. What exercise do you guys recommend?

    I know they suck but leg-lifs work the best. Situpds/Crunches too. Also you could curl standing up, when I do that it makes my stomach get tight and it kind of has a burn to it when I'm done like I just did a bunch of situps.

    Silent house. -

    It was built up to be a scary movie, but it really wasnt scary at all. If you like movies that base around a huge metaphor that you can try to figure out you might like it. Just dont waste money on it like I did. I only bought it because the previews reminded me of Insidious & paranormal activity but unfortuantly it was NOTHING like that and had NOTHING scary.

    man on a ledge- had very low expectations and it turned out pretty damn good

    project x- american pie on steroids, pretty damn funny

    I had high expectations for man on a ledge. I thought it was alright but I thought it wwould be great.

    Project X was awesome. 30 minutes into it and it already felt like a classic. I thought it was really good.

    Sweat is very good. It's not just for cooling down your body as your core temperature increases. A better question is, what is in your sweat? Everything from water, salt, ammonia, etc. -- basically what your body is sweating out is the equivalent to urine. Hence why sweat stains are the same color as urine. Anywho! It's very important to keep pushing water as you're working out.

    Another thing, which I mentioned in a previous post is dry skin brushing. Your skin is essentially your third kidney, dry skin brushing will make your kidneys and other internal organs work a little easier as your skin is responsible for eliminating about two-pounds of waste. If you want more information on that, let me know and I'll send you the article & video of how to do it.

    Congrats on quitting smoking. I smoked for ten-years, quit off & on about seven times before I finally kicked it for good. This July 4th was my second year without one. (I know it was July 4th cause I used my last pack to light bottle rockets.) As for drinking, just don't over indulge at any time. One of the points was sugar intake, alcohol turns to sugar in the blood. Sugar thickens the blood, which causes the "hangover".

    As for being a trainer, no. But I know plenty of them around the local area and we're always exchanging ideas and methods.

    Good luck on your weight-loss!

    If you're looking to get rid of belly fat, sit-ups aren't going to do you any good. Sit-ups do not directly target your abdominal muscles, but rather your hips. Secondly, your abdominal muscles are buried under the wall of belly fat, so you'll never see physical results anyway.

    If you want to get rid of belly fat, here's a few quick pointers:

    a.) watch your caloric intake, try reducing it

    b.) try to cut out sugars

    c.) if you drink or smoke, cut that out

    d.) when you workout, workout all of your muscle groups

    e.) walking, dancing, basketball, etc., anything that makes you use several muscle groups at once

    Belly fat is extremely hard to get rid of simply because it just a wall of solid fat. It is my worst area of my body, which is where most of my body fat comes from. I workout three times a day, several days a week and I have nowhere near "ripped" abs. So, if you don't see results in a week or two, don't quit. Most people expect exercise to make them look like a supermodel overnight -- it doesn't work like that.

    Just stay positive, and keep working for it. Need anymore advice, let me know.

    Damn thanks man! But yeah my situps are more like crunches. I know when I used to do them I started to get abs. But then I stopped and they dissapeared! They are so hard to maintain I dont even know if its worth it lol. I quit smoking for the final time last week, and I still drink from time to time. Not so much though. My diets consist of ramen noodles,chicken,sandwhiches,water/sprite. Thats all I eat/drink. I play basketball atleast 1-3 hours just about every day. (Not as much lately because of the heat.) I think I just gained a bunch of weight because I've been real lazy the past few months.

    Just wondering is sweating is good for you? When I was back in shape, I used to sweat, but not excessively like I do now. Also are you a trainer or something? lol

    Back to working out...I took a, lets say 5,6 month break.

    Im gained 15 lbs the last month and feel fat as crap. I'm only 155 though, but I've never had man boobs before...

    My pecks and Ab(s) are gone!!!!!! lmao.

    I'm starting with 24 bench reps of 135 (4 sets of 6). 24 reps of curling 100 (also 4 sets of 5) And 150 situps every night. I'm also aiming for atleast 5-7 minutes of using my speed bag non stop. I'm going to ease myway back into it at first. Hopefully I can b around 160-165 by the end of the summer, of pure muscle. ;D

    The Grey. Total win. Except the end which is like.

    Ew. I just finished watching that, like literally 5 mins ago. The ending ruined the whole thing for me. Good aacting at times, I just wish it would have ended differently. I was joking when I told my friend "the end" when it really was. I rhought it would be funny + messed up if it ended that way. And it did.

    Taken was probably worse movie I've ever seen lol. Blow is one of my favorites.I love that movie, I know almost every line in it. I also liked shawshank redemption and American history x. The main actor in American history X who played Danny was the best acting performance I've probably ever seen.
