When I first walked into the gym, I had no idea what I was doing. I'd jump from machine to machine, do a few curls, maybe some chest presses, and leave feeling like I'd trained but with zero structure.

This is the question I get more than almost any other: "I've lost weight everywhere, my face, my arms, even my legs, so why is my stomach still exactly where it was?" It's not bad luck and it's not a broken metabolism. Belly fat behaves differently than fat almost anyw...
