Suggestions on exercise for tummy fats?

[Oopiess]

So i have been running/jogging recently for the past 3 weeks. around 4.8km around the bedok reservoir. 

side note: i hate hate hate running/jogging

but yeah i know cardio is the best way to reduce tummy fats. i used to swim but my appetite is quite voracious. 

swimming laps meaning to and fro = 1 lap

so i used to swim 3 -5 laps of breast stroke and 10 to 15 laps of front crawl.

i try to watch what i eat most of the time so i dont over eat, but my tummy is.. still big af, i rarely drink beer.

Have you hit the gym apart from cardio?

Able to list the exercises you do? All done on machines?have you been increasing the intensity?perhaps you might want to increase the frequency of training and intensity. I suspect you haven't been increasing the intensity for a long time.

mostly machines unless my friends accompany me.

then i'll use free weights.

i dont know most of the exercise names specifically so i'll try to describe it.

 

however before i start exercising, i do 5 sets of 15 reps on biceps and triceps curls with dumbells

for bicep curls i lift it up 3 time for 1 rep, once with a normal curl (palms facing up), second with it vertical (palms facing each other) and third palms facing down.

 

(most sets [4-5] and reps are the same)

i do the basic chest exercises:

Bench press 4-5 sets of 10 - 15 reps (5kg -> 10 -> 12.5 -> 15) last rep normally is a descending weight push to max thing.

same with dumbbell but with 10 kg to 12.5 to 15kg if i can, i wont over exert myself cause im not going to become too big.

then 2 more barbell low incline and decline.

lastly seated machine press and machine chest fly.

 

Back: 

the one where you kneel one leg on a bench and you lift a dumbbell with one arm.

standing back fly.

lateral machine pulldown machine.

the diagonal thing with two pads at the end where you lean over with or without weights.

pull

 

Leg:

the tiptoe machine where you are on a step and have a weight sitting on your shoulder and you tiptoe.

leg raise machine

leg push machine.

 

stomach:

crunch machine?

upsidedown situp

Ah yes...as guessed. Would be good to increase your intensity/resistance that you use. If you do this intensity for 2 months without increasing the resistance, something is not right. DO try to make it a point to push yourself more and add more resistance every 4 to 6 weeks.

i normally try to increase, but if i cant do it or struggle way too much, i'd go back to the normal reps

Should do the increase more often. Sometimes its more of the mental aspect of things. And yes, do not neglect the free weights. Can tell that your self efficacy level and mental readiness isn't there yet.
