It's worth the hassle tho.
But my advice is to take it slow and just keep getting tighter and tighter.
Fried believes in "building" while reducing but that is a controversial topic. Some like to lean up and then build, and others like to bulk, then lean later.
Either way, it's gonna take some time to do it right. But the diet is the biggie.
Working out is easy.
If ask me...............
I'd focus on the diet......... and that involves a shitload of making your own food.
Then pump metabolism 3 times a day.... can be quick as long as you spike the heart rate.
And noooo......... I"ve never been on a freaking eclipse for 45 minutes in my life. That is gayer than hell........ When had to lose the 15, I just spiked my heart rate with something quick.
Jumping jacks or something.
You cannot spot reduce, e.g. doing crunches won't specifically burn belly fat. You gather fat all over your body over time & you'll lose it from all over your body over time. Of course the place that has the most will be the last to retain it.........belly for men, ass/thighs for chicks.
Just keep grinding.........as ricky says, outwork the other guy.......outwork yourself.........it'll happen.
But without food knowledge and cooking skills..... impossible when you get to your age.
Diet is the biggie.
I'm older than you.
When I hit 33, I looked down and saw a gut.............. Before that was ripped entire life.
Metabolism.
NOW is the time to figure out the food part.
Kitchen is the church. It takes a lot of knowledge and effort to prepare meals that are ready to go before after training.
Any 20+ year vet in BB will tell you that.
Will open a recipe for dinners, breakfasts and lunches here soon. The food intake is what seperates you from the guy that would get laughed off of a stage in prelims.
Outwork means out cook him, out train him with strict form at high intensity on all ends.
It must be an obsession if you want walk into any gym in America and be top 10 most cut ripped proportianate guy in the place.
BB training is harcore shit guys. Step in front of a mirror in near that guy and make decisions about dumbell weight and things start up.
Intensity, focus, etiquette. Every top shelf body in a gym wants to kich your ass. The fights I break up are monthly and that's a lot.
Now go get ém.
Pro athletes are pussies compared to what we do.
Squezzing your abs is really just that, keep them tight as best u can when lifting weights or running on a treadmill. Just me minful of them and pretty soon your brain will go into auto mode and you will not have to remember to keep them contracting sporadically. 1st week or two is difficult to learn but then it becomes natural.
NJ, I wasn't laughing at a walking routine, fact walking is just as valuable as running - even better. Runner bodies look and feel broken down.
Walking and being mindful of stomach contractions during your walk is invaluable. Just my humble .02 - been doing this for a long long time and have been taught by some of the best pro BB's since Sandy Ridell.
Train that low back once a week at least @ high intensity. Do it right and you'll have a valley down the backside.
If ask me....... you answered your own question.
Body fat reduction is all diet and metabolism.
I've been in shred mode for about a year and have questions for Search regarding this as well.
Fried barely lifts but does some track training and pullups/pushups.
With a very active lifestyle.
My question to Search is...............
Is "blasting" pullups/pushups every two week enough?
Actually I think it is plenty. When blasting, I mean shitloads to shock. And then barely do any resistance for weeks.
Lot of different opinions and techniques out there........ but Search is on record with diet.
So have to give him a hard look.
3ball...... EVERYBODY works out but the diet is the challenge. It's time consuming, and not geared for people not up on food.
And really have to be able to cook if want to get serious.

Don't obsess with it, just be mindful od it. It'll eventually become a natural reaction and habit over time.
