Lift weights and bulk up if you want to burn fat. Obviously diet is essential but I'm in slim fit shirts now (from having a spare tyre and now going for tailor fit) because of weight lifting + diet and not too much cardio. Too much cardio and starving your body burns muscle and not fat as well as slows your metabolism right down. Not saying don't do any cardio but don't make it your entire exercise strategy (if fat burning is your goal).
I'm following what bodybuilders refer to as a 'cutting' diet/workout programme where you eat reduced calories and lift to maintain muscle mass so the body burns fat, it's what they do to reduce body fat % as opposed to a building diet/programme where they eat more to support building muscle mass. Obviously what you eat as well as amounts is critical. At my age (44) I can't afford to mess around with anything sub optimal.
I'm not aiming to turn into a massive beefcake but I prefer the muscled look to the marathon runner look. A simplified cutting regime can be reduced calories + 100 push ups/squats/sit ups every morning.
Get a fitbit (or alternative) and drink lots of water as well.Last edited by Jog On; 15 June 2017, 09:27."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment

I like running as well but I did it for years trying to lose the beer belly and it wasn't nearly as effective as lifting."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment

I know this first hand after years of doing it wrong. You don't have to venture into the free weights area of the gym if you don't want to, there are combined (cardio and weights) exercises using kettlebells/Vipre or pushing massive tyres around the gym or smashing ropes into the ground if you like. I personally like lifting + swimming and martial arts. A personal trainer would most likely get you using kettlebells, rope smashing and tyre schlepping as it does both most effectively for time spent. I had one for a couple of years and it was mostly kettlebells and burpees then on to free weights.
It's good to mix it up."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment
