Is running important?

Question

i've been going to the gym for a year now and all i do is work on my arms(triceps,biceps,shoulders) and my back after a 8 min warm up at the treadmill, recently i see the changes on my arms and i really like it however it doesnt match with my body that's full of excess tires...its not that bad but i really hate it when i folds up when i sit down, makes me look really fat...

so is there any other alternatives besides running that i can do to reduce the excess around my stomach? i've been wanting to go on protein shakes to build up my arms and body...is that ok?

Answer 3

Do some simple sit ups. Just lay on the ground and stick your feet under a couch or something and do like 10 sit ups a day. The first few days you might feel some soreness, but this exercise really works great.
