. I'm so self conscious I never go around topless and always wear t-shirts or vests :frown:

HELP!

Attention seeker.

If I was an attention seeker I'd not have put it on anon. I'm not here to seek attention just gather honest opinions, and possibly some advice on how I can work on my lower stomach area effectively.

You are fat in bodybuilding scale but not in general , cut down on your carbs and calories in general , hit the cardio more often and you'll be fine

I eat way too much carbs, I agree! What kind of cardio do you recommend. I hate running. Is there a funner alternative?

Those are strength exercises, they will develop muscles but so long as there is a layer of fat over them, the muscles will not really show. You need to do a couple of hours of aerobic exercise each week i.e. jogging, swimming, that will primarily use fat as a source of energy.

That's because those exercises don't really get rid of body fat.
There's hardly anything there anyway!

Stomach exercises tone the stomach muscles. To get rid of a belly do plenty of cardio. Diet's also a contributing factor, unless you've got a fast metabolism your exercise can be pretty much futile if you're eating a lot of ****e.

Stay off the beer as well, beer's a bastard to the stomach.

You look alright, probably fitter than most people are. Bit bulky, but still, you're not bad. Lots of cardio and eating clean will get you looking lean.

It really is 80% diet and 20% exercise though.
