Is there any exercises or anything I should be doing to get this to go away or will it go away with weight loss?

    Weight loss would be the biggest factor to get rid of a muffin top. This can obviously be done through nutrition and cardio. Also add in some strength training and abdominal workouts.

    I do have to say I have a friend at the gym that was a runner and was not overweight at all but she had a slight muffin top - she started working with our personal trainer built her ab muscles and her upper body muscles
    she got rid of it. So I think in my opionion it's a combo of both - diet and excercise

    Sadly spot reduction is not possible. It seems the first place you put it on is the last place you lose it! I want to lose it from my arms, but short of having it sucked out of you, you can't make the body burn fat from a certain part of your body.

    Overall diet and exercise is the best way to go.

    I gain all my weight in my stomach. I do alot of twist w/ alt punching if that makes sense. I do 100 crunches. I've seen a huge difference in the last month.

    Do you do this everyday?

    Crunches, 5 times a week (normally) and the twist, when I think about it. Its not in my "everyday routine" but if I'm standing in front of the t.v. I'll stop and throw a few in.

    I think this helps because it improves posture and better posture and stronger abs to keep it pulled in can make a difference in ow our tummy pooches
