Busting Belly Flab help!

i seem to be losing weight everywhere except the place I need it most! My belly! What are some good exercises to help with this?

Unfortunately, you can't spot reduce. Body fat is gained and lost in a pattern determined by your genetics. For most people, the belly is the last to go.

Ah well that sucks. So cardio is my best bet then? My thighs have lost 2 inches ready but my belly is being stubborn.

Just keep doing what you're doing. If you're losing fat, it has to come off eventually.

Cardio burns calories. As does any physical activity. Calorie deficit is what's needed to lose body fat and one doesn't need exercise to achieve it. Exercise is for fitness and health.
As mentioned, genetics will determine how you lose body fat regardless of what approach you take.

Thank you. I have Lupus and Arthritis so exercising can be tough for me.
