I am male 6 foot 3 and weigh 244. Trying to lose weight. Mostly stomach fat. Arms and legs are not fat. Thinking about this routine: calories at about 2500. Work out daily treadmill 5:15 am for 30 minutes on incline 2 fast walk pace followed by light weights bench press for about 15 min ending with sit ups.

    Are you in deficit? Is your calorie counting accurate? It's all about the intake and exercise is for looking good and health.

    This. Plus the fat will come off from everywhere as you can't spot reduce.

    Deficit to lose, surplus to gain. I can promise you have fat on your arms and legs. Especially your upper inner legs. Your program means nothing if you're not in a deficit.


    So you plan on only benching? What about your legs and posterior chain? You're shouting for muscular imbalances. Look into a beginner lifting program like strong lifts or starting strength

    Fat/weight loss will come from a calorie deficit. Looks like you have been losing weight, so you may have that covered. IMO your routine needs work. My advice would be to get on a beginner's 3x days/week full body resistance program, Fierce5, All Pro, SL 5x5 are examples. Fill in with cardio as you wish and skip the sit-ups. Belly fat is usually the last to go but keep at it.

    either increase your time walking or up the speed to a slow jog.
