carbs,cardio and me

redgrocer Posts: 34 Joined: 2005/06/26	2005/06/26, 07:09 PM Hello, im new and thought i'd ask for some advise/help. Im 19 year old poor studant. 3 months ago i weighed 178lb. After changing my diet and commiting to exersise am now 154lb, which i am pleased with. However, I would like to lose another 10lb. The top half of my body is pretty well toned, but i would like to get rid of that last bit of fat around my abdomenan (sp?). I think now, that possibally what I have been doing in the past, may no longer work. I usually eat Apples, Bananas, Oranges, Pasta, Onions, Tomoatos, Potatos and little else. I also try to drink 8 glasses of water a day. I exersise 4/5 times a week which will usually inculde. (per day) - 200 Crunches - 200 Dumbbell Shoulder Press - 200 Dumbbell Fly - 160 Dumbbell Pullover - 80 Dumbbell One Arm Triceps Extension I also run for 20/30 minutes prior to work out. I am curious as to when it is best to run (before or after working out)? And also what would be best to add/cut out of my diet. any help?

I have heard that doing cardio in the morning, before you eat is a bad idea. As you will lose mainly muscle insted of fat.

Otherwise, I use all my gas running and consider it an accomplishment just to make it back to the locker room, let alone lift. -------------- _Shane I dont have to outrun the bear - just you....

Then i'll start focusing on muscle. I find that the exersise im doing at the moment does not have much/any effect on my gut. what would be the best way to achive my goal?
