    Diet, cardio and weight training are the 3 in 1 to achieve fitness and fat burning, and the magic spell is will power.

    Fork put-downs and plate push-aways.

    Ninerbuff, as long as you're here:

    I know exercise does not reduce fat (that's what dieting is for). However, would the aforementioned exercises be good for improving core muscles, which (while not reducing fat) should then improve general waist size thanks to improved posture?

    Or to put it another way, will core exercises reduce flabbiness, if not pudginess?
    The exercises mentioned above are fine for core development and "hardening" the muscles. Stronger and firmer muscles are usually desired over soft and pudgy.

    Regular aerobic exercise and calorie deficit (but not extreme deficit-this can be counterproductive). Don't drink your calories-drink water. Stay away from processed anything. Stay with whole foods, lots of veggies... and don't carb out and take a seat. The insulin will shunt the sugar into fat cells rather than muscle if you are not using them...

    Don't need aerobic exercise nor any food restricted choices. It's always going to be about a moderate calorie deficit. The whole BS with carbs and processed foods have been an ongoing myth in the fitness industry for decades. Stick to science.

    Exercises do burn calorie. Just to make sure you don't replenish more calorie after exercise.

    I know a program could be helpful to you: http://InsaneBodyShape.com

    You could do it anywhere whenever you have time. Regular exercise coupled with proper diet, I think you target can be achieved as long as you have the will power.

    If someone burned 1000 calories and had a BMR of 1500, you're stating stick to only a net of 500 calories a day?:huh:
