I hate to keep doing this to you Rogue, but many people share the same misconception that you have about losing the gut and I want to stress just how inaccurate it is. You can do 500 pushups and it will do just about the same thing for your gut as if you were to do 500 sit-ups. Gut is fat. There is no way to get rid of it without burning it off from intense cardio, or a daily caloric deficit (combined with proper nutrition). However, it is not bad to start working on the stomach muscles because when you finally DO get rid of the fat, your stomach will look good
