Okay first off a little background on me: I’m a 19 year old 6′3" maybe 6′-4" guy, used to play football (Tight End) and used to be in fairly good shape, i’m not gonna say i was super cut or anything, i wasn’t, but i could take my shirt off at the beach and look good. At my best i weighed about 220-225 with if i remember correctly 7% body fat. i had like virtually no gut. i didn’t have abs, no six pack, just like maybe a 4 pack at best but still lean and in shape. Now, i weigh 230 and have a pretty large gut, which obviously means i lost a lotta muscle mass and gained bodyfat. I’ve been trying to get back into shape, and my strength is back to how it was when i was an athlete, i bench more now, have bigger arms and a big back, etc, but still i cant rid of this dam gut. I used to be able to do hundreds of situps and jacknives and all sorts of ab exercises while holding a 25lb plate for resistance, but now i cant do more than 40 sit ups without getting a massive cramp.

Can anybody help me? i have like 5 weeks to tone down a little before my gf’s birthday, i know not to expect a miracle or anything but i am eating healthy, lifting weights, and doing cardio also.

Any tips to help me flatten my belly and also maybe help build strength and endurance in my abs so i dont cramp up so easily?

I’m also going to start going to a dance class in a few weeks and i think core endurance would be helpful in that too

If it’s of any importance, I’m currently on Kre-Alkalyn and also i drink Gold Standard 100% whey protein

Also, im not able to respond to post because for some reason Yahoo answers only lets me ask questions but i can’t reward best answer or anything, please if your going to answer do it out of generosity and not for the points please. Thank You

Move more eat less!!! Crossfit your tail off!!
