So i have been maintaining running now at least five days a week for the past two months and i feel great, doing 15-22 miles a week and lifting every other day.
Right now my diet consists of as many little to non fat high protein foods, this means vegan burgers and yogurt as my main protein intake. I drink only water and one cup of coffee or mint tea a day. On a running day thats all i do but on a lift day i run 3 miles and do crunches when i get home. I do 100 crunches going straight up and down without stopping per set and usually do 2 sets, then i do 30/50 on either side.
When i finish cruches i do circuit lifts for which i use 35 lb weights, one circuit consists of 50 push ups followed by 35 chest lifts, 20 bicep curls and 40 chest presses which i do as quickly with as short a break as possible and rinse and repeat. I do 3/5 circuits depending on the day.
Ive been maintaining this routine for 2 months now and have no plan of stopping, ive been getting visible progress on my arms and chest and minor progress on my stomach. I started this with the idea of acheiving a 6 pack and while i feel like im definitely progressing my biggest problem area is the layer of fat over my stomach, the muscles are clearly there and defined so if i lay on my back you can clearly see perfect definition but when i stand i lose the lines between the 6 pack and just have the definition of the border outline.
Does anyone have any input on what i should do to blast that one section of fat directly on top of my abdominals, should i double my crunches? Whats a good amount? I dont find it time consuming to do 250 should i double to 500? Is there a certain type of food or foods i should focus on? Possibly a supplement i should take? Any input is great
