Will someone tell me the best way to shed some stomach fat

Answers:

I suggest you cut out your consumption of carbohydrates and don't drink any sodas and start walking 45 minutes every day



Stomach fat is not something you can specifically target. You need to lose overall body fat, and the stomach is the last to go. But what'll help target those muscles and make the belly fat gone faster, you need to tone. you can do this by laying on your back and lifting your legs from the ground a quarter of the way then bring them back down but dont let them touch the ground. do as many as you can and when your about finished hold your legs in the air for 30 seconds. it will tone your lower belly and work your lower abs. it hurts im not going to lie but if you stick to it yo will be satisfied. Also, you need to understand that you need to burn the fat over your abdominal muscles to see your toned, sexy core. After that it depends on exactly what you're eating (you should try to eat mostly lean protein and veggies if you're trying to tone up) and how often (you should try to eat ~5-6 times/day to speed up your metabolism. Now to answer your question:
To get abs you need a proper balance of good eating, resistance and cardio excercise, and sometimes supplements. You need to add resistance excercise as that is the best way to reduce fat (muscle burns fat/calories) and change body shape.
Different people hold fat in different places and that last little bit of fat is usually the hardest to lose. There isn't any definitive way to 'spot' reduce body fat but here are some things I have found useful (to get a lean flat stomach and get 'abs'):
- Do sprint repeats. It may be still warm enough to do these outside so that's good (if not, find an indoor track). Jog to warm up (~1/2 mile). Then do 8 sets of repeat sprints (start with ~100m and gradually move up to ~200m as you get in better shape). Basically you sprint all out, then slow jog (really slow) back. Repeat 8 times. The first one you want to go only ~3/4 speed since your body will still be warming up. Make sure you stretch afterwards as your hamstrings will be sore the next day (especially after the first time).
- Resistance training: go for more reps (less weight), try drop sets, try circuit training. All of these are useful for getting more lean(and as a result will burn fat off your abs). Remember the more muscle you build, the more fat you'll burn (and you won't be big and bulky either).
- Ab ball: do a lot of exercises using one of those ab balls...they work your core in every exercise. You can also do actual ab target exercises (twists, crunches, etc.). Get a trainer at your gym to show you some. Or you can get the CoreSecrets (ball/video) for ~$10-$20 online (just google it)
- Oblique exercises (twisting). Do a lot of these using the ab ball: sit on the ball hold a 10 lb weight and walk your feet forward. 'Lay down' and with the weigh above you twist to one side-up-pause-twist to the other side. Ensure you're using your obliques to do the work.
- Lower abs. Do leg lifts (hold weights in your feet, or lay on ball and do them). Leg raises (where you hang in the air and rotate your knees to your chest). Get with a trainer at a gym to show you some new funky ab exercises
- Improve your nutrition to mostly eat low fat protein (chicken, fish, lean turkey, etc.) and veggies (i.e. broccoli). Mix a little fruit in there for some sweetness. You can also buy whey protein and make whey protein smoothies (2 scoops protein, ice, skim milk - blend - little peanut butter, ripe banana, more ice - blend again: tastes great). Cut out junk food (especially soda, anything loaded with high fructose corn syrup, all sweets, etc.)
- Start taking a thermogenic fat burner (will burn fat faster when your body temp rises - i.e. working out), ripped fuel, or hydroxycut hardcore before your workouts. This will help provide energy for workouts during your cutting 'diet'. These also help you burn fat and are 'good' supplements to use
Work hard, have fun...you should have those tone, sexy abs in ~2 months.

Dad and uncle are trainers



Do about 30 minutes (or more) of cardio a day then do 150 crunches. Do 25 reps of different types of ab exercises to get your 150 crunches. Feel free to do more than 150 too. This might sound like a lot of work, and it kinda is, but I found that it really helps and the crunches go by faster if you do them while watching tv. This is more effective if you watch what you eat real closely, cut out all sodas and super fatty foods and junk foods.

Cutting down on carbs will help lose the extra weight!



stop eating
