Ive been going the gym for about 2 months now and im not shifting no weight at all, ive got a mad build imo, ive got no fat on my legs, arms or face but I have on my stomach/waist and chest and im struggling to shift it, always staying the same, I just basically do what I want in the gym havent got a plan set out and its not working it seems.
At home i've got a bench and free weights which is working for me as im noticing muscle definition on my arms and can feel it on my chest underneath the man boobs  , but would still like help with sorting out a schedule of what muscles to work on so its more effective.
Also i'm the worst fussy eater and seriously struggling with what food to eat. I dont like hardley anything!
Thanks

I bought myself a bike (not an exersice bike a proper one) and have been using that a bit, granted I could use it a bit more like. Been doing about 5 minute walk into a 5 minute medium paced run/quick jog then a 5 minute fast paced run, 8-10 minutes if I can be bothered, then slow down gradually after that. I usually feel like I can run for ages though but not sure how long I should be aiming for without knackering myself to do anything else.
Havent had a swim for a few weeks, with it being just a lifestyles gym the pools usually full of kids and cant get a good swim in, thinking of joining a different one though now I know im abit more serious about it and sticking to it.

Just usually eat shite to be honest, but havent been eating much latley rather than eat fatty foods and its showing in the gym cause ive hardley got any energy and stamina. Ive just joined a proper gym today and they are doing health checks on me etc and putting a training program together for me so hopefully that will help. Just got to work on a diet. Il look into low carb foods
Thanks.

i train in karate and i eat a good diet i eat salads and plenty of fruit and veg,also pasta and jacket potatoes for carbs,and rice sometimes.Don't eat too much bread as high in sugar and salt,eat weetabix or museli with raisins for breakfast and a glass of orange juice,chicken salad for dinner,and jacket potatoes with all different things like chilli,baked beans and cheese with salad etc,avoid chocolate crisps and all that crap also avoid fizzy pop which is high in sugar,i drink water and tea which is good,also you need meat for proteins chicken is best as red meats arent too good for you,you need calcium from foods such as cheese (not too much) milk and yoghurts etc
hope that has helped
also i eat quite a few stirfrys which are healthy and very tastey!!

Swimming is good but like they all said cardio is best and watching what you eat.
I've noticed a difference in my stomach already. I also go to an abs class that seems to help loads. Its basically doing loads of crunches and stuff.

What do you do with your hands when you do them? Do you do them on a hard floor or anything?

I got shown in the gym to put my hands by my stomach, by my head, or hold them out above my head to make it harder. Nope tried doing them on a rug or one of them foam gym mats. Its more a prob with my back than anything.
