Yes, if anything, you gotta be in the "Cardio Zone". I find that heart rate zone more accurate at the gym to coincide with higher intensity training and actually better fat burning.
Not that I really need to burn fat lol. All I am doing lately is trying to get extra definition, lean cut muscle for my honeymoon in the next month or so! I've got 4 solid abs, the blasted bottom 2 are the hardest because that is the one place a body naturally stores a bit of fat pooch.
Right now I'm 150-155 pounds with only 6% body fat.
I basically follow the Advocare 24day challenge meal/workout plan, but I use my own supplements rather than their overpriced stuff. |
Are you measuring your bf% yourself? at 6% bf you should have a full 6 pack. usually 8-12% bf is when you see your 6 pack. If you truly are at 6% bf I'd recommend doing some ab building routines, although this may require you to take in a little extra calories to build some muscle.
Either way congrats on the marriage and glad to see you taking care of your body :)

It is measured by some handheld device they have at the gym so I have no idea of how accurate that is. How do I measure it myself?
I've always thought that sounded way too low considering I don't look THAT cut/skinny. Every time I've used the device at the gym it was between 4-8%, never above 10.
And I do a considerable amount of ab training so I doubt it is from lack of ab muscle. Probably just the device I was using to measure it is way the heck off lol...
And thanks! I've always been pretty fit and cut looking, but the last few years I stopped working out as much and my metabolism slowed down a tad so I figured I'd better get back into it because I missed my sixpack.
