Excersizes to smaller belly and waist

audreymonroex

Hi, this is my first post. I am in highschool, and for the last two years have noticed that I am no longer "skinny" anymore. My once flat stomach has now turned bloated and looks like I am at least 3 months pregnant! I would like some tips on how to get my stomach flat and have a small waist. I am 5'2 female, my bust is 34 inches, waist is 27.5, and my hips are 35. I love my body but I feel like the waist/stomach is a really big number! The main area where I am "fat" is my belly button and lower, I got a navel piercing to boost my confidence but it makes me feel worse. I don't really eat healthy, I eat ALOT of pasta, chips, bread, and meat every single day. I've tried to go on a healthy diet but it's really hard. The only thing I drink is water and occasionally on weekends a little soda. Please help!

That's a good starting point. You unfortunately can't really spot reduce. A smaller stomach and waist will come from an overall fat loss. Best of luck to you! You can love your body even if you want to change it.

Unfortunately there is no way to spot reduce. Exercising will always help - a mix of cardio and strength training/resistance/weights will likely give you good tone. You may also want to start including more vegetables and fruits in your diet and gradually cutting down a bit on the processed food. Just start slowly; small changes are better than none at all! I'm not sure if going to the gym is possible, but some gyms (esp YMCA's) have programs specifically for teens.
