current situation:
me
age: 18
height: 6'0
weight: 222lbs
stomach: has some flab needs removing
biceps: could be a bit bigger, as i have a big frame
i'm not as fat as that sounds, haha. i actually gained 8 pounds since i started a pretty tough martial arts class even though i'm down about one full beltsize (tae kwon do, so a lot of legwork, some abdominal work, little armwork aside from some pushups. normally one hour a day at least [today for instance, i did 3h45m], at least twice a week [altho this week i'm doing 4 days]). in other words, i'm heavier, but my pants that didn't fit cuz i got out of shape started to fit again. my god, my language is so technical and scientific. :p
since tae kwon do is a kicking oriented martial art (we DO punch, and whoever says tae kwon do practicioners are weak is clueless) i get a lot of high kicking, jumping, and flexibility excercises. also, when practicing forms and blocks, even though we're not hitting anything, walking around a room for 30 minutes, throwing your arms around into certain positions using considerable force will still make you feel a little sore.
i'm not looking to bodybuild, i can't afford a subscription to the gym, nor do i have any equipment at home. my main goal is abs. i already have some definition in the top area of the 6 pack (call it a 4 pack i guess :p) but i still have flab at in the lower gut area, and 'love handles' is it? i want to rid myself of that. a nice 6 pack would be a great outcome.
after that, well, yeah, i guess i could concentrate on my biceps, but so far, that's my goal.
so, any ideas?
is dieting necessary? my eating habits are quite random, i'm not big on sweets at all, but i eat a lot of food. read: FOOD, junkfood/fastfood is a rare occurence for me. so, mostly i get stuff like rice and beans, chicken, steak, potatoes, etc. i'm incorporating more fruits into my diet lately.
so, oh, TA workout gurus, i'm in your hands |

cardio cardio cardio.. and yes diet is important
try counting yoru calories per day, your going to lose that fat by having a net loss of calories per day, this will result in your fat stores being converted to energy instead of access calories being converted to fat.
so lets take your weight 220 lbs, multiply that by 10 = 2200 calories per day which is the bare minimum you need to function.
Id go with trying to consume around 2500 calories per day and at that youll still be at a net loss (you'll be using some calories just to do everyday stuff and excercise)
so 2500 calorie consumption
cardio[b](running, cycling, jogging) (as much as you can take), if you havent done it before try 3 times a week at a lower intensity (a jog or a speed walk) you'll know your burning calories if your sweating.
and do maybe do a [b]2 day split weight training full bodyworkout, uppper body one day, lower body and abs the next day, do this after your cardio
If you feel you can kick it up a notch then go ahead, the more you do cardio , the more calories you burn, the more fat you burn off.
If you havea heart rate counter start off by getting yoru heartrate up to 150 bpm
for your weight training workout try doing:
pull ups (for the biceps and back)
push ups (for your triceps and chest)
I would really suggest getting a set of dumbells it would make working on your biceps a hell of a lot easier.
but theres a start |

so, I find out last night from the event promoter, that I did not receive PRO status as they have this criteria that needs to be met. The criteria was that there has to be atleast 15 girls in my category, and if not it would be left up to the head judge to decide if I get my procard. Well, there was only 11 girls in my category and the head judge decided not to give me the PRO status. This "criteria" was never mentioned at all throughout all the orientations I went to nor in any of the emails I received. I was told that it was on the website, but even they couldn't find it on there when I asked them to find it.
To me this was pretty important information that should have been told at the registration the night before the competition..all they could have said was " sorry girls there is only 11 of you, so it will be left up to the discretion of the head judge if there will be a Pro Status awarded". Thats all it would have took. But instead I was left to believe since Saturday I had obtained my goal of becoming pro and had the wind taken out of my sails last night.
So, now if I go to Toronto I will be competing in the "advanced" division amongst 100-200 girls to receive 1 of 3 Pro cards awarded. Bah....I'm so sad:(
Well guys...send me more good luck vibes for next Saturday I guess...

cool, thanks. hrm, have never counted calories before, will have to see how to do that with home cooked meals (rice and beans and the sort). hrm
am i just lost, or does my TKD class count as cardio? you, are, then suggesting i do MORE cardio, correct?
i think my 4 hours yesterday were pretty good. i did a 12 minute match with one of my friends (the instructor's son, he is 10, but he was still pwning me ass basically. whatver points i scored on him were just based on me being a giant in front of him. kid's got some skill). i also did 10 laps in the school of jumping round kicks. that kills me. heh
where do sit ups fit into this whole area? |

| so i'm pretty happy because i stepped on the scale this morning and i'm down about 7 lbs since last week. now of course some of that is gonna be water weight, but i've been hitting the cardio pretty hard the last week and i'm sure it's starting to pay off. i feel lighter and look thinner already. and that's with not even eating very clean. so if nothing else it's motivating me to eat a little cleaner heheh :p. |

thats definatley good cardio, although it would be hard to count how many calories youd burn doing that, 4 hours would probably amount to somewhere around 1500 calories burned for all those activities
so you can see that if you consume about 2500 calories, you'll be at a loss of required calories and your fat stores will have to convert in order to provide yoru body with energy
(for activity 2500 + 1500 = 4000 calories your body needs for that day
(consume 2500 calories so your body needs to produce 1500 calories from burning fat stores)
these are just estimates but the logic is sound.

this would fall under resistance training (not cardio) as you are building muscle in that area and would do sets of sit ups, but again you'll be burning calories with that movement as it takes alot of energy to preform rounds of situps. Cardio basically means that your doing something that requires endurance and last for a longer amount of time.
To count your calories just look at the back of whatever you eat and make rough estimates. Try to split up your day into smaller meals insted of eating one heap load before you sleep, its likely that your body wont be able to digest all that food and convert it to fat.
So 3 smaller meals a day. workout 3 to 5 times a week and watch your diet, you should lose about 3 pounds a week if your concious about it. |

Also be concious of what your eating, like avoid large amounts of sugar, too many milk shakes bacon etc etc.
