Re: Work Out
You are not that far off. Lose 10-15 pounds? That's not bad at all!
Bottom line: Aerobic exercises....
That's what burns fat. You can lift weight all you want, that won't burn any fat. Yes, you'll gain muscles that would burn more calories during the day, but the actual lifting doesn't do much to reduce the fat....
.... unless you do conditioning workout.
For example, you normally bench press 4 sets of 10 reps at 175lbs. Scrap that and do 200 reps of 75 lbs. 200 consecutive reps without a break. That would get your heart pumping and define your muscles at the same time.
What I used to do was "burn-out" exercises with weights. Using bench press as an example, I would start with 95 lbs and do as many reps as possible. I mean you do it until you cannot push up the bar any more. Step the weight down 10 lbs and hop right back on to do the same thing again. No breaks between sets. Continue on until you are pressing only the 45 lb bar....
Most likely people will be making fun of you b/c you'll look like you can barely bench the bar, but you'll definitely feel it for couple days. Hence, burn-out!
.... still, nothing burns fat better than aerobic exercises, like running.
