Grrr, stupid carbs....

You don't need as much weight training to shed the gut, but more cardio.

More cardio is a definite but as well healthy eating along with a cardio based weight program will yield you greater results! Going heavier will not get rid of the pot belly..... try moving a weight that you can get 12-15 reps out of 3-4 sets but only 45 - 60 secs rest in between each set! This will provide enough resistance to keep you pushing the same weight but as well increasing your heart rate as you procede throughout your workout.

You can mix it up by adding a couple days like this during the week and possibly going heavy on the other days to aid in the muscle building aspect of the routine.

Then again if you want another little challenge you can add tri-sets, supersets, drop sets, or run-the-rack sets ......

There are a lot of different things you can do, but in the end with all of this diet plays a really important factor with the end results.
