aight.. thats cool.. uhh.. running a lot would make my tummy would look more defined right? cause id lose some of the fat overtop of it.. there isnt very much fat to burn off tho :unsure:

Yes... but just remember, it burns fat off your whole body... It doesn't just get the fat off the tum tum.

i would just go on a diet. running only raises ur metabolism about an hour or two after. a hardcore lifting session can raise it for 24-48 hours!!

dont do abs every day. if u work em right, u wont be able to. running every day is bad. you will lose lots of muscle. water is important because it helps keep u hydrated and aids in protien synthesis. its pretty much essential u drink lots of water. not 8 cups either lol, thats junk. u should drink. 66 X [weight (lbs)].

uhh hope i answered that all. sorry bout the fragments lol

bah im gonna lose a lot of muscle if i run a lot? abs everyday = bad idea too.. thats crappy.... and what do you mean diet? IM not goin on like a hardcore diet... maybe if i jus like watch what i eat? Still dont really know what effect water has on working out... ive been drining a lot of it over the last couple weeks :unsure:

When I go to the gym, I find myself drinking about 3 bottles of water... Not including if I do cardio. So if you work out, you will probably end up drinking a bunch of water anyways, so you don't have to worry about drinking X amount of cups during the day.

ya me too Joe. its good for you if u drink water while working out. something to do with muscles and uhh....hydration :D

yeh i also drink a lot when im there.. but im sayin that ive been drinkin also when im not there :unsure:

Drinking Water is good... but drink it normally. I mean, you don't need to drink 5 gallons before you go and do some cardio. They say 8 servings per day... but spead it evenly.

Don't completly stop either... because I learned form playing Football and Basketball that if you come out and you are dehydrated, there isn't enough water in the world that you could drink mid game to save you.

what exactly is overkill... does workin the same muscle groups everyday have like bad results?

yes. it's recommended only to work out a specific muscle group every other day MAX...

I do lower body/back 3 times a week, and upper body 3 times a week

and ab-oriented exercise about 5 times a week

(I think I posted this before, but eh)

When you wk out you basically are damaging your muscles, and when your muscles heal from the damage (48hrs) it gets stroger.

By working the same thing every day you are just damaging your muscles over and over with no heal time, and that can lead to some nasty injuries. And if you never get injured, it still will slow down your progress a LOT.

then how come abs everyday is ok?

I wouldn't do abs everyday....

But would it have any NEGATIVE effects? would it do anythin worse than worse than every other day? Would it be better than every other day?

ugh....emil its best to do abs 3 times a week...thts the max. one time a week is fine...you should not do abs 5 times a week. i dont even know how u do each muscle group 2 times a week....if ur workout is good u should not be able to do its for...3-5 days.

abs are used in many things and they are a big muscle group, so we can train em more often than other. calves are the same as abs...and i dont get ur last question. emil u shouldr eally get AIM so we could talk u fool!
