No... No
SPARTAAAAA for me.
Like I said... 80s.
As for definition- it's all about what you put in your mouth (no dirty jokes please
).
Really it's about what you eat. Calories in- calories out. To get defined you have to burn more calories than you consume.
So yeah you need to up the cardio and muscle does burn fat as Ash said. But you really have to clean up your eating habits. Choose fish, poultry, lean red meat, eggs etc. Eat your vegetables. Drink skim milk. No more junk food, fried food, snacks, etc. No high calorie drinks... especially beer.
Some people try to exercise more and not change their eating habits thinking they will burn off the extra calories. Truth is if you are still eating high fat high carb foods- you will not be able to workout enough to overcome the tremendous amount of calories you are ingesting.
Consider this- one pound of fat has about 3500 calories. Now think about how long on the stairmaster you would need to burn that one pound worth of fat.
Now multiply that by how many pounds you want to lose.
You can't do it with exercise alone. You have to change your eating habits. And don't waste your money on fat burning pills. They are worthless and I've tried
many. No good for anything other than speeding up your heart rate.
Another problem with high carb diets is that simple carbs make your body produce insulin. Insulin happens to be a strong hormone for storing fat. You almost have to eat like a diabetic person. Avoid sugary foods/drinks. Have a treat once in a while, but don't make a daily habit of it.
Hope I didn't sound like I was preaching.
