Is it ok to lift weights if I want to lose the fat off my body?

Question

I have a lot of fat on my chest and stomach. I was wondering if it helps to like workout my chest and do abs if i want to lose fat off those parts. I dont want my chest to get bigger, I just want to lose the fat and make it look cut. The same with my stomach.

Answer 1

Yes you can lift weights to tighten up the muscles and skin, but you should commit to a workout plan that trains all of your muscles, not just your stomach and chest.  To lose fat though, you have to stick to a healthy diet as weight loss and weight gain are 70% related to diet

Hi,

Wow, I had exactly the same problem, and I didn't know who to trust. I run into this blog: http://snipurl.com/37dp2, and I advice you do the same.

My desire of having a good looking arms came true. Of course with some effort on my part. But less than you can recall.

All my best,
