Question good folks. What exactly does sitsit ups and the roller do to the body? Do they add any value to a guy who is trying to lose weight?

Both, if not well executed, can send you to a surgeons table. Watch out! There are other better ab exercises Plank, Bicycle kicks, leg raises etc Ama you join me, in (new) Kettlebell world. Read '4-Hour Body' Ferris, who'd never seen his abs, saw them after a few months. Thing to note here is, you can do a million exercises but as long as you have fat over your abs, no-one will ever see them. A strong ESSENTIAL core, yes; but no visible abs. Mafuta lazima ichomwe, for the Mrs to brag about you

On average, the answer is 'no'. Rollers and sit ups, are like bathing with Kanyari's blessed salt seven times a day waiting for a miracle.

I agree with you 100%. Exercise helps to tone the body and keep one fit. To loose weight its all about diet and food portions.I can give a testimony. Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.

Weight lifting isolates muscles. Meaning you'll have some stronger parts and some weaker parts, some flabbier parts and toned parts. Kettlebell works the ENTIRE body as one. Simple exercises but with far reaching results. No gym membership, no myriad of equipment etc. Read the book 4-hour body and come back for discussion.

Physical exercise is meant to supplement a sedentary lifestyle mostly and in apparently rare cases to train the mind and to enhance performance and output Don't presume that we're lazy, or unfit or people who don't exercise. On the contrary.

On the contrary. Yes, you are not lazy. You are beyond that. The benefits of exercise are immense. The best thing you can do for your body besides fermented foods. Right off the bat is strengthening bones. Body uses calcium to alkalize the body. It sometimes 'borrows' said calcium from the bones... why some people are susceptible to broken bones. To strengthen your bones, you need among other things Vitamin D (Sunlight) and strength training. Both male and female. Otherwise as you age, you'll be a weakling. Bending over and all Another reason that quickly comes to mind is lymphatic system. The broom in your body. The blood is pumped around by the heart. There is nothing to pump around lymph. Exercise expedites this. Exercise boosts your mental state etc etc Do you even know the relationship between muscle and testosterone? Get off your ass and lift something, else don't blame @Washiku for 'doing' your 'work' for you

Hello wazuans
I have a problem and i would like some advice.
I am starting to doubt my gym's weighing scale.
Recently have been forced to adjust my clothes twice to smaller sizes but the weighing scale shows i have not lost any weight??
But i know for a fact i have had a significant weight loss everywhere except the tummy. could this be the cause?
what to do? i.e what do i need to do to loose my tummy fat, exercise? diet etc advice.
