To do a good routine there are of course different things that you can do. You said that you stretch before you lift, but do not stretch too much. The more that you stretch before lifting weights, the less you will be able to lift. You want your muscles tighter and not elongated because it will cause you to lift less pounds, but still stretch out and warmup, just to get the blood flowing to your muscles. if you are working out for 1.5 hours with weights, it sounds like you are doing too much. If you are doing a whole body workout you may want to get into another routine. Tyr splitting your workouts into bodyparts and concentrate on different areas. You have to give your muscles time to rest and you may be over working them, which will not help you out. 30 minutes of cardio is very good and you should change it up everytime you do it. For example do the tredmil one day then the bike the next and then the eliptical. Just shock your body so it does not get used to the samr thing. Get rid of that layer of fat over your abs first before you start doing ab movements. When you work out your abs and you have a layer of fat over them the abs will grow stronger and push the fat layer out more, making you appear to be fatter. So, once you see yourself trimming down, then hit the abs, and also change that up with reverse cruches, hanging leg raises and other exercises. Just do not do the same thing everytime. Use your strecthing time after the complete workout. Really stretch your body so more blood flows to the different areas and repairs the muscles that you worked out. Consuming protein will not make you fat, unless you do not do it. It is recommended that you take 1 gram per pound of body weight, but that can be very expensive, so the choice is yours. Consume 4-6 small meals throughout the day to speed up your metabolism and that will also help burn body fat. supplement protein shakes between meals and also have one after you work out to repair the muscles that you worked out. Make sure that you also get a good amount of sleep to also repair and recover your muscles.

If you want to lose your gut, your going to have to start doing more cardio to burn it off. If your doing 300 situps a day you probly have a six pack under there but you need to burn more calories to lose the stomach.

Me. My stomach is my problem area and I run for 1 hour or 6 miles, whatever comes first, 4-5 days a week to maintain it.

Well, it certainly sounds like you are putting in the time but, what are you doing when you lift weights. I mean are you doing a full body workout and are you resting on off days or are you doing some other physical activity. Also, are you eating healthy meals. I guess I had more ?'s than you but, I want to get more details before I answer.

if you already have some fat, don't have too much protein, 'cause that will just give you more fat. the workout is good though.

Am I doing the wrong workout routine?
My goal is to get lean and loose my gut, but I naturally have a wide frame and want to use the fat I have to build muscle mass. I am 5 foot 11 a little over 200 lbs. My routine is stretch, 1.5 hours of weights, atleast 300 ab reps, and then 30 min of cardio, I take a protein as a meal replacement and I take nox 300 for my muscles.
