Hi can you give the best workout to loosen my big stomach or fat pls and pls indicate how many sets it a day thank you very much for the help!
My workout consist of (10 sets of 10 pushups, 10 sets of 10 crunches) I do this every other day, I'm 16 and a BOY, should I do this workout everyday?
If you're only supposed to do 10 reps per set, and only 3 sets for per muscle group for muscle building, it seems like weight lifting workout only lasts about 30 minutes. Is that too quick?
If i workout once a week and single body part how many exercises and then sets to get the maximum muscle growth without over training ?
