Every school day I throw around 9 pound weapons in the air for about 2 hours. I also Orienteer when I get the chance, and run recreationally every once in a while. I have the muscle mass I want, but now I want to get rid of the courtesy cushion that covers my abs. There's just that little bit of flab that I can't get rid of. I'm in good shape, but not perfect shape, and that's what I want.

What excercises would you recommend me to do in order to fully tone my body to where I look even more hardcore? More running, a diet, what's best? Thank you very much. Also, if you need anymore info about my situation, let me know.

Diet.

Anything specific?

Do I have to give up Alamo Cafe?! ;_;

So you basically want something that doesn't exist.

You'll never be in perfect shape and there will always be room for improvement.

As far as throwing around 9lbs weapons, there are probably much more efficient ways to train your body.

Eat less. A six pack is a matter of body fat. and on a note on perfect shape: lift some weights for christ's sake!

I think about 3 big macs and a couple of strawberry shakes a day ought to do it.

Then If that doesnt work try a macho combo burrito just before you go to bed.

Anything specific?

Oh man, Alamo Cafe freakin' ROCKS!! Steak Fajitas, Coronas and Sopapillas are worth five extra pounds!

DON'T READ MY DIET THREAD! IT MAY HELP YOU!!!

Diet - Less cals per day
Weights to inscrease muscles mass.

Hasn't anyone heard of the fat burning zone? You burn your highest percentage of calories from bodyfat when you're at rest. Logically it follows then that you need to sit on your ass more and workout less. It's true.

Heh. heh.

Do the WOD over at CROSSFIT.com. You want hardcore, CROSSFIT is hardcore. I've been doing it for about 6 weeks. and can rarely do the WOD as written.

Lift weights, not nine pound weapons, and eat correctly. Eat more lean foods. You could always go on a "ripped" supplement with whatever ephedra substitute they have now. Getting a six pack to me is bs. It's not worth monitoring my diet that much, I like to eat and eat what I want. Why worry about ripped abs? Lift weights, you'll get alot stronger and get a nice tone on your abdomen as well as the rest of your body, without looking like you've been doing forced labor at a Gulag.

Stop playing Ninja (Budo Taijutsu? How is that different from Ninjitsu?) and start dieting. Also, from what others on this forum has said, MT has some of the best cardio/conditioning if you want to burn fat.

Buy "Eat More Weigh Less" by Dr. Dean Ornish .. it's only like 8 bucks at Booksamillion. That's the best diet book I've seen.

As far as exercise, you said "school day" so I am going to assume you are in high school. Join the wrestling team. It will teach you a lot about grappling, build up a good work ethic and their physical conditioning regime is unrivaled in sports. If your school has a good wrestling program at all they should help you lose that gut pretty quick. Don't think of it as a competition, just have fun and enjoy the free exercise class.

Some Calvin ball seems like it would be right up your ally.

A good power macho beef burrito and a double cheese burger will do the same thing oh yea dont forget the diet coke
