Anybody have any tips for us "skinny fat" people to get rid of the "beer belly"?

You can't target fat burning.

Belly fat in men is typically stubborn fat. It is the last fat to leave. Worse, stubborn fat can pile up even when other fat gets burned off.

You're fat. That's a simple fact. Eat less than you burn and on days when you "must" have beer, eat a fsckton less.

Sit-ups are not good workouts, period. Lift weights. Deadlifts help. Sromach vacuums can help when you finally lose the fat.

high intensity interval training. Also known as HIIT.

Get on a caloric deficiency using my fitness pal.

Track everything you eat and increase the amount of water you drink.

Run once a week. Lift 5 days a week. Don't do sit-ups.

I'm down from 200 to 145 after calorie counting until it became habit, but I still have the "handles" mid line gut. It's smaller and less noticeable, but I can tell it's there.
Running helps, I do 30 minutes x3 days a week. and then as others suggested High Intensity Intervals (heavy weight, to run sprints), when you can bounce back between wind sprints, dead lifts, pull ups, and dips. 2 other days a week I do pure strength trains with weights. This last loose skin, skinny fat, is, unfortunately, the last to go.

dude don't do situps. It doesn't work that way. situps are one of the worst exercises you can ever do. Read the fucking sidebar as usual.

Start doing Starting Strength (compound lifting) and eat at a caloric deficit. Make sure to squeeze your ass before you squat and keep it squeezed... and you'll feel it work your abs (as you put more weight on) more than situps ever did. Just do compound lifts and stop drinking / eating and the beer belly will go away.

Furthermore, be careful: a lot of people think they have a beer belly but their back is curved WITH their belly, and this is anterior pelvic tilt and you can't fix it by simple lifting. Look up anterior pelvic tilt and make sure that isn't what you're talking about.

You can't target fat loss.

Sit-ups do help to tighten the skin around your midsection but it won't do much compared to simply diet, cardio, and lifting.

Just lift and diet. http://rippedbody.jp/physique-goal-setting-part-3/

I may be doing them wrong or trying to do to must to fast but I'm talking lower back pain out the waa zoo after a few days every time I try to do ab exercises

Stop doing them.

You should be lifting 4 days a week, add cardio 3x a week, run 5 miles or swim 2000 yards or bike 30 miles, all will be about equivalent. With low carb for about a month, you should lose the rest

What is this?

drallcom3 · 2015-09-10T10:06:03+00:00

But sit-ups I do for a few days and my back starts hurting like a mother F-er.

Sit-ups are bad for your back, yes. Do leg raises or planks.

remember13 · 2015-09-10T11:31:38+00:00

I stopped drinking alcohol for a year (I was drinking mostly beer), got abs in 1 and a half months without even trying. My advice is: replace beer with wine. Abs are not good, due leg raises, but firstly do some aerobic exercises (not as in an aerobics class, but as in HIIT cardio, boxing, mma, swimming, basically everything that requires endurance). Don't do long distance running, stick to sprints.

Get a gym membership and do weights.

Don't expect a quick result

TheBadGod · 2015-09-10T13:06:01+00:00

Switch to light beer. Consider drinking your dinner.

More pushups. More resistance, muscle building exercise. Consider running to the bar.

There are harder ab exercises you can do for a full-body workout every day. Make your arms and chest bigger.

Blah blah blah lift. Also, make better decisions for yourself so you aren't medicating with beer a often.

Freddy_Fedora · 2015-09-10T14:00:41+00:00

Intense cardio. Best way to burn fat. If you're skinny fat chances are you don't work out often

ThrowingMyslfOutther · 2015-09-11T00:48:18+00:00

Stop drinking period. Eat better now. Weight is function of calories in minus calories burned. Track your calories, if you consume more than you burn, it's just physics and physiology, no magic... you will grow fatter.

Anything that doesn't embrace this concept is denial.

An example, if you are just sitting there, on a computer, day to day, then watch tv at night, no exercise, you need 800 cal less than the daily recommended level a. 1600-1700 calories. You'd be amazed how quickly you get to that number eating 4-5 small meals a day. Everything literally is a handful, or 1 serving. Anything more, is that fat you are complaining about.

A nutrition and exercise tracker is your friend.

TheGoldenJ00 · 2015-09-10T15:28:41+00:00

Three step process:

Buy kettlebell.
YouTube how to use it and do.
Look like you were in 300

The easiest is liposuction.

Sit-ups do not burn much fat at all. Eat less, run/walk more.

algidum · 2015-09-11T19:46:34+00:00

I know the first step is to stop drinking so much beer, I'm working on that.

Here is my tip: learn to love that beer gut of yours because I don't think it's going away any time soon.

RPmatrix · 2015-09-10T03:45:56+00:00

Lie flat on your back and do "straight leg raises"

Lie flat on your back and raise each leg slowly about 3' up and then lower it slowly back down, try to do 10x each leg for at least 2 sets, preferably 4 --- and feel those abs strengthen without straining your back

Keep it up for several weeks and your 'core' will be rock, but for the 'fat', well, that's ALL "calories vs exercise"

Metalgear222 · 2015-09-10T06:09:22+00:00

The best way I know to burn fat is to SPRINT for 15 seconds and rest 30 seconds and repeat for 10-12 minutes. If you do this often with drinking a fuckton of water and cut down on your carbs. You will see insane results.
