I really can't believe that some of these people believe what they believe, and stuff.

Actually working out the paticular area will probably make the fat even more noticeable. I would watch what you eat and work the biggest muscles in your body (if you aren't already) which are your thighs, butt, and back (~70%). Once these muscles are bigger, your metabolism will rise considerably.

the only way to burn off fat is by doing cardio and eating clean. working your abs will definetly help them be better toned and more muscular, but you will never see them unless you do some cardio.
I'm sick of this cardio bullshit. Weightlifting in the long run is a much better way to loose fat. Cardio, especially without weightlifting WILL cause significant muscle LOSS and once you start eating normally again and quite cardio for a little bit you'll be fatter than ever cause your overall metabolism has dropped so much. Most of the calories one uses is when they are at rest or Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). Increased muscle mass will raise one's RMR substantially, and this is why I'm emphasizing to exercise the larger muscles in your body (check my last post above). I was never fat but I wasn't lean enough to see my abs even with plenty of ab training. I starting to do more serious weightlifting (squatting, deadlifting, benching, pullups, etc.) and in little time I could see my abs. I credit this to increased metabolism because of increased muscle mass. So stop preaching about oh "the only way" to loose fat is cardio shit.

Sysopt, with all due respect, untill you've experienced a real weight problem (and I'm not talking about this little "can't see my abs" stuff), you are talking out of your ass.
My guess is that you've got a naturally fast metabolism that is enhanced by your weight training. In other words, even with all you're hard work, you're lucky as hell. If I tried what you suggested in your last post, I'd blow up like that kid did in Willy Wonka.
I agree with you that cardio alone won't get you anywhere near what you could do when you combine it with weightlifting. But you gotta realize that not everyone has that lightning metabolism you were born with.

first off i never said that cardio alone was the way to go. i dont even do cardio b/c i am lucky enough that i don't have to do it yet. liftin does burn off a lot of calories, but when ever trying to cut down, you should include both leaning more towards the cardio b/c it does burn more cal, than liftin
