hey guys sooooooo, I have joined fitness pal as I graduate in two months and have piled on the weight since uni. Its my own fault for not eating healthy.I have two jobs as well as starting up my business last year. But I am finishing uni on a sad note in a sense as I feel really unhealthy now :/ I am a uk size 16 and 5'6 and weigh about 14 stone. My legs are still toned for when I used to go to karate as a teenager from the age 11-17. But my stomach is too pudgy. Best exercises to tone my stomach? :)

ps
I posted similar topic but I already have a diet plan set in place :) etc

    Most people have success with Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. It delivers results, especially in the mid-section. You will need to eat good too though. And, you can't spot-reduce fat.

    I would suggest squats, deadlifts, chin-ups or virtually any other compound movement with heavy weights. As you do these, your core has to work to stabilize you, and will get stronger to keep up with the increasing demands.
