hey, i'm a skinny guy but i've got a wee belly when i relax. I need a indication of what kind of cardio and ab workout i should be doing to get i tighter stomach. This is a sample of my current workout. 4 sets 3times a week.

Bench press 15
Seated DB Press 10
Bent-over DB rows 10
Standing DB curls 10
Tricep Kickback 10
Ab Twists 30
Standing calf raises 15

I only have 10kg dumbells at the moment. i do a wee bit of cardio twice a week in the form of shadow boxing.

I wouldnt mind some advice on building abit of a chest as well as i find it very hard to bulk up with the equipment i have. Any help is much appreciated.

thanks Ally

buy more equipment or join a gym..you need progressive resistance to build size.

Losing belly fat will be mostly a diet issue.

This is my whole routine, i've been doin it for the last 3 weeks. If i purchase extra weights would this routine allow for building size? Do i have enough ab work or should i add some in my cardio day on tuesday and thursdays? I'm swapping from shadow boxing to skipping for a couple of weeks for my cardio. thanks

you could try 1 arm push-ups
do flys with weight 1 at a time keeping the opposite arm extended out in line with you shoulder joint...
