Do 1000 Situps

Q: I go to the gym twice a day. Morning I do 1000 situps plus 1hr of cardio and in the evening I do 1000 situps plus weight trainig. what else do I need to do to increase my fat burning?

A: It sounds like you have the training part down already, but the equally important aspect of losing fat and keeping it off is your diet. Start by reading my Nutrition article and making sure your diet follows the guidelines outlined there.

You also may want to cut down on those situps to save time and energy for other exercises -- situps are a fine exercise but not a particularly important or effective one. Doing thousands of situps will not burn your belly fat any faster. You may want to check out my Weight Training article to make sure the rest of your weight training program is up to par and not suffering at expense of those situps. If the rest of your program is OK and you like doing situps then that's fine. But if the situps is your focus and the rest of the time you just do some bicep curls and bench presses, then you can definitely improve your program as outlined in that article.
