down to 163 lbs now and i still have a bit o belly fat. Guess I have to reach 150 before I will see a six pack. Getting close but still not there

Once the gyms here in NW Florida closed I search Utube for workouts I could do at home with dumbbells which I have and a bench, and for cardio without equipment. I found this 30 day 100 burpees a day challenge. Some of the results pics looked amazing so I started awhile back. Now I'm on day 23 now and seeing results. My weight has dropped 11 pounds since I started. Soon I will be amazed when I hit the 170s. I also found a trainer named Funk Roberts on utube. His main thing is training guys over 40 abd training MA guys and women. Basically his thought is that after 40 men have to train different to achieve results after they plateau from traditional methods designed for younger men. He says that static state cardio will soon make your cortisol levels rise and therefore reduce your testosterone which is why gains stop of slow to a crawl. So instead he teaches short Hit anabolic exercise with very short rest periods in between sets and exercises that get the heart pumping fast. Believe me it does. I do 30 seconds of Sprints in place for three sets , 30 seconds of jump squats, 30 seconds jump lunges, 30 of jumping jacks, 30 seconds of burpess ( Gosh More? Yes) 30 seconds of mountain climbers, 30 seconds of spider planks. Its a serious workout and way way better than 30 minutes on the eliptycal and 30 minutes rowing. Combine with eating about 700 calories under my maintain number of 2500 , I'm trimming down, getting cut, and trimming my belly to almost nothing. I may not return to the gym once they open. Pretty decent for a 58 year old guy

Yeah I stopped the treadmill and did 30 minutes on the rowing machine and 30 minutes on the eliptycal. Using stretching methods and toe raises it started to heal and in two months is 90% healed. I even bought a treadmill before that thinking my wife would use it so now I have to get rid of it. Now the gyms are closed and had to resort to burpess, dumbells and anabolic hit cardio but its working and pounds are coming off

Hi, I'm a 58 year old guy. in one year I went from 240 lbs down to 183 with alot of sacrifice and hard work. Hope I can get some tips and inspiration here from people more exp'd than me at this. Only tip I have is if your older stay away from incline treadmill work. Caused a severe Shin splint that took two months to recover from. Currently working out with Dumbells three times a week at a fast pace, doing 100 Burpees a day, and doing some metabolic fast pace HIT exercise I got from Funk Roberts on utube.

You aint kidding. I went from 240 lbs last year down to 183 and I still have a little even though I do 1000 reps of ab work a day. Not gonna give up till its gone . I think I have to get down to 170 to do it. Not easy at 58 years old

teach yourself how to eat for nutrition and not for pleasure. Plenty of youtube videos on this subject. After you get used to it you won't want to go back. After months of no crap food I finally allowed myself to have a home cooked hamburger. Yeah it was great but it will be more months before I have another one. Its wise to treat yourself here and there I guess but making a habit of eating whole foods 95% of the time helps your body in many ways

Ive learned to listen to my body. If i get too calorie defencient my body tells me.
