I'm sure I can visit some kind of muscle website, but I figure there are enough muscle heads here that I can ask.
Let me give you a bit of background.. I'm 6'3", 21 (in May) years old, and weigh 222. 10 months ago I weighed 240 or so, and I've gradually lost a LOT of fat, but also put on a lot of extra muscle. My legs are humongous, and probably make me weigh my weight. However, I still have a spare tire or love handles, whichever you call them in my stomach area.
In an effort to lose it and possibly lose weight, I started doing about 100 crunches (Should I do more, less?) every morning when I wake up, and when I go to bed. My abs can feel it, but I already had well defined abs, they were just hidden beneath this flab I've got going.
If I had a camera, I would show you pictures to give you a better idea of what I look like, but you wouldn't want to see me anyway.
What do you suggest? Lots more crunches? Going to the gym? Any special diet plan or certain exercise, like riding a bike? Would enough crunches over time effectively eliminate my flab?
I'm not looking for a six-pack here or anything, just something that doesn't hang over my hips.
