Question 1

i have belly fat and fatty pectorals, can i lose this belly fat and man boobs by running, swimming, and weight lifting, ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A primary care doctor can help make sure nothing unusual is going on. Avoid carbs (sugar and simple starches) because they increase the belly fat. Losing weight means eating fewer calories than one's body needs to burn each day. Also, marijuana use and excess alcohol drinking have been reported to lead to man-boobs.

Question 2

could weight lifting make you faster?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Weight lifting increases muscle mass, which increases body weight. A big muscle does not necessarily make a fast muscle. Light weight lifting can be used to "tone" musculature, but if taken too far, the extra muscle mass might reduce speed.  For increased speed, the best exercises are cross-training, sprinting and endurance running.

Question 3

need some weight lifting tips please!?

Accepted Answer

Slow but steady: Start easy and don't overdo it. The biggest mistake i see is people overdo it, then are unable to resume the program for many days. I recommend starting with low-impact cardiovascular exercise, then weight training, then stretching. Low weight, high reps tends to create strength with muscle tone and definition.  High weight, worked to fatigue, low reps, tends to create muscle bulk.
