Fat loss

[bbf0101]

Dear Muscle and Strength - I have been training now for 30+ years, and in all that time I have never been able to shift the body fat from my frame as I have always been worried about losing muscle. when I use weight to try and tone up I still find that the body fat stays. My reason for this thread is that I would like to know what are the best body weight exercises that I can use to get rid of body fat making allowances for my back condition and arthritis.


I need to get myself fit again and get energised without damaging my back any further as I have suffered with a back condition for 23 years hence my reason for wanting to do body weight exercises, please advice.

ps : - I do not use cardio machines as these pressure my lower back and I do not run due to arthritis in all my joints, if possible I would like some advise on healthy eating which is realistic for working and family people.

You cannot out train a lousey diet, so it is crucial to get things right in the nutritional part of things.

How is swimming for your body?
Swimming is a great form of cardio to perform.
