I'm skinny-fat. How can I get rid of belly fat (and body fat in order to get a toned body)? I do a lot of cardio- mainly 4-7 hours walk 3 times in a week and rowing 2 times in a week.

    You can't target belly fat. Your body will take it off in whatever order it feels like. Usually if you put it on first in a particular area, it will be the last to go. (Imagine sipping a straw out of a bowl. It doesn't matter where the straw is, the water will always go from the edges to the center).

    If you want to build muscle, and you want a BB program, your best bets are probably some of the P90X programs (1, 2, 3, etc). Body Beast (which is pretty much just weight lifting), or T25 or Insanity. Those are probably what I would recommend, and in that order (P90X - Body Beast - T25 - Insanity).

    There are plenty of other programs out there, you don't need to do BB. I do like them though, it's how I lost all my weight.

    You cannot spot reduce, and if you're "skinny fat" more cardio will just make you more "fat", the skinnier you get. Focus on strength training while eating at a small calorie deficit to lower your Body Fat %. You'll lose less weight and it will take longer, but you will look better.

    Can you please elaborate "Usually if you put it on first in a particular area, it will be the last to go."?
    So in order to get rid of belly fat, I will first need to build my muscle?
