I recently started to work out, hoping to loss some weight. I'm ok on
other parts of my body, with some fat under the skin, but I have a very
noticible beer belly, which I want to get rid of. I'm currently doing
30 mins of trendmill with speed set to 5.5. Anyways, one of my
co-workers told me that trendmill only helps the body to move blood
around, but it doesn't really help me to reduce body fat or the size of
my belly. If I want to reduce fat around some parts of my body, I need
to exercise that part of my body so I can "convert" fat to muscle.
>From what I can remember from Biology 11, fat cells are what our body
use to store excessive energy. If my daily energy intake is less than
my output, then my body should get the energy it needs from the fat
cells, thus reduce fat and my belly.
I would like to know if what my co-worker told me is true, that I
really need to use the muscles on my stomach like crazy, or perhaps, I
should just keep doing trendmill, maybe with a longer time, and my
belly will go away in a few months.
Thanks |

You can't convert fat to muscle, but you can build up the muscle so it
burns more daily calories.
Aerobic exercise is the only way to reduce total body fat.

BS. You reduce bodyfat by expending more calories than you consume. The
idea of aerobic exercise 'burning' fat is good in theory due to energy
pathways, but for the average person lousy in practise. Mainly because
most people can't sustain the necessary intensity. And if the person is
fat and out of shape there is no way they are going to get to the
necessary intensity and sustain for 25 minutes.
Eat less and work out more.

See Neil, you can still learn something, thus proving that you don't
actually know everything.
However, it is typical of you to try and discredit a true story simply
because you're envious of the person who told it! >> Stay informed about: some beginner questions |

I find cycling to be more difficult than trendmill but that's about the
only other equipment I can find there that burns more energy than
trendmill.
I'm currently doing 5.5, yet I plan to increase the speed gradually
until probably around 6.5. Also I have changed my schedule so that I
will be on the trendmill for 1 hr instead of 30 minutes. I hope that
will be enough to let me see some results in 2 months' time. >> Stay informed about: some beginner questions |

Well I don't want to be immodest, but yes I am aware that I have a

Yes, glycogen. But what after that when there's no carbs to replenish the
glycogen  ?
