Cardio won’t burn off excess body fat. In terms of exercise, the majority of your calorie-burning should from weight-training, cardio playing a small, supplementary role.
But even that is not enough. Most of your fat loss success will come from implementing a fat-stripping diet. So in order of importance, it’s
1 Diet
2 Weight Training
3 Cardio
And if you do it all correctly, you can continue building muscle as you blast away fat.
My book “Total Six Pack Abs” contains the FULL system that incorporates all of the above and tailor-fits it to your individual make-up.

I am 5’09” and 160 Lbs; i have been burning 500 cals on ellipticals 6 days a week (3000 total) Can i still do the same plus your 5 day THT2.0 routine. As you said, we should not spend more than 45-50 mins in the gym !
all my body fat is on my stomach; for this reason i have been doing ellipticals for 40 minutes!

No. I actually think it’s a dumb exercise. There’s no advantage to the rotating movement. In fact, it just makes it more awkward. The most comfortable position at the bottom of the rep is with palms facing out, not in.
@Adam. It’s a great piece of equipment. I linked the text in the article. Some people deadlift with it too.
@RNQ. Thanks. No, not really. If you want to cut fat, you need a full dedicated program that takes care of it. Adding in extra cardio will do very little. Most of fat-loss success is down to diet.Total Six Pack Abs is a full diet, weight-training, and cardio program to torch off unwanted blubber.
@mark. 5g per day, taken after your workout. Take 5g on non-workout days too.
@AK. Yes, it’s fine. Having your back touch the bench is ok, but only if it is straight or very slightly declined. Too much of an angle takes some load off the shoulders and transfers it to the upper chest.

I feel I’m able to lift more weight with the seated press as I can have my back leaning on the seat and put more emphasis on the shoulders. Is it okay to lean my back on the seat or should I sit upright without letting my back touch the seat?

Thanks for your recent daily workouts! I’m about to start week 2 tomorrow and I’m increasing my weights this week to reflect progress. As a busy mum, your daily schedules have helped me be organised,practical and very concise with my workouts. Is it a good idea to do HIIT on my 2 days off as I’m still stick with my dreade mummy-pouch? My current body fat is 18%,but my lower abs are still concealed!

Can you post up a link here or on the FB page about trap bars? I’ve settled into a smith machine because I’ve maxed out my cabled stack at the gym for trap shrugs. I’d be interested to see if they have a bar like that.
