question about weight lifting

[fade]

hi, im new to this fourm and i had a question. im 16 and im pretty chunky. im doing curls, push ups, a lot with freeweights. the question i had was if i keep working out my chest and arms whats going to happen with my stomach? i kno it wont turn into a 6 pack, but will it get smaller, stay the same with cut arms or what? im not much a cardio person. i hate running. and i dont do sit ups. i jsut thought some one could help me out here.. thanks
peace

when you start building muscle (no matter where), it'll aid in the fat-burning process. In this case, the bodies ability to burn fat throughout the body (or lack of targetted fat burning), will help reduce your stomach. Also, most exercises you do require some sort of core stability, which in turn, works the abs to some degree.

thanks. that helps asure me. i thougth if i continue to just weight lift i would only get cut arms and my stomach would still be flabby. but how much affect would it have on my stomach? and is there any exercises any one can reccomend aside from sit up i can do at home? thanks agian

If you build muscle it won't effect your abs directly but your body will burn more calories per day.

Situps won't reduce fat you have to eat a calorie deflict to burn fat. Situps and other abs excercises will build muscle and tone but it will still be under a layer of fat.
