Have you decided if the correct answer is yes or no?

When the fat is under the abdominal muscle it does create greater health risk. However, fat is fat. Given a proper diet and exercise, it would be my suspicion that it will all come off the same. The body may hold it longer than with a flabby stomach, but on the other hand measuring is easier. Either way just keep working at it, none of it seems to come off that easy.

I have thought long and hard about this question and I have come to the following conclusion:

When the fat is under the abdominal muscle it does create greater health risk. However, fat is fat. Given a proper diet and exercise, it would be my suspicion that it will all come off the same. The body may hold it longer than with a flabby stomach, but on the other hand measuring is easier. Either way just keep working at it, none of it seems to come off that easy.

No need to thank me, I am here to serve.

yeah I know...I freak myself out sometimes. But it still makes me think of jelly and yogurt together.

I also think that being the twighlight zone of weird is a good place to be nowadays.

You're traveling through another dimension -- a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of frosting and paper. That's a signpost up ahead: your next stop: the cupcake zone

You unlock this door with the key of white flour and a mixer. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sweet, a dimension of cute, a dimension of weird confections. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of pastries and madness. You've just crossed over into... the cupcake zone.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to cupcake It is a dimension as vast as space and as variable as food coloring. It is the middle ground between cookies and pop tarts, between science and the looney bin, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his ultimate confection. This is the dimension of cupcake. It is an area which we call cupcake Zone.

Yes, you did. Danieljlove answered it. When someone has a protruding abdomen, but it is hard to the touch, it means that they have stored their fat around their organs. When a person has a protruding abdomen and it is flabby and soft to the touch, they have stored their fat subcutaneously 9under the skin, but on top of the muscles). The fat stored around the organs is a more dangerous type that poses more of a health risk, but the flabby gut isn't good for you either.

As far as the chance of losing it - either one can lose it through proper diet and exercise. The one with the flabbier fat may have a headstart. I have found that as my clients lose fat, the fat remaining gets looser and flabbier. But both should be able to see significant chnage with good training and healthy eating/lifestyle.

which all exercise should i perform for weight loss.I mean the freehand exercises as i have little access to gym( 3 days per week)
2004/07/15, 10:14 AM
High rep lower weight exercises will work for with weightloss so the FT home will work fine. Your diet is at least 50% of any training plan so you need to really do your homework there learning how, what and when to eat. Rest is very important too.
