loosing belly fat

work hard

To lose belly fat, lose fat.

All fat is burned in your liver. Your fat cells are constantly giving up fat if your body needs more energy and soaking up excess fat (also mostly produced in your liver) if your body has too much energy. It doesn't matter where those fat cells are located - all of that fat makes its way to the liver for processing. Your belly fat cells are giving up fat at the same rate as everything else.

A few things can influence your midsection to stubbornly hold on to fat, though. Mostly hormonal things. Stress and the associated steroid hormones (like cortisol). A few glandular disorders like Cushing's syndrome. Normal aging.

But in general, if your body is ordinary, losing belly fat is the same as losing fat anywhere else.

Sorry guys No person can target where to lose weight. As you reduce fat%, your body will decide (asking no opinion of you!) where to drop the weight from. Eventually, when you reach a 'normal' fat% your should have seen the fat reduction in all areas, including any place that you wanted to target.

Just keep at it - watch what you eat, drink lots of water, move around as much as possible!!

The best thing is a combination of ab crunches, all different kinds, and cardio. The crunches will tighten your ab muscles but that will not get rid of any fat on top of your abs. The cardio is what will burn the fat off slowly but surely. I know it's hard to be patient but don't give up. I've been on my journey for about 14 months and have lost 12.5 inches off my waist. I still have about 7 to go and that's not happening as quickly but it will come off eventually. I've learned all kinds of ab exercises between using machines at the gym and then also using yoga and pilates moves and basic ab crunches too. I hope that helps. Good luck to you all!

As quite a few others have already said, there is no way to reduce any section of the body by itself. Body fat comes off of all areas the same way. Just eat a balanced diet without the crap (and you know what I mean by that...) and exercise. Cardio burns the fat, strength training raises your metabolism and helps you last longer in your workouts.

Eat the right foods to fuel your workouts and workout! :flowerforyou:

As far as what workouts to do, that really doesn't matter either. All cardio will burn calories, so just pick your favorite since wiggling in your middle doesn't burn any more belly fat than bicycling. :bigsmile:

I do exercise ball with 10 lb medicine ball and I do flutter kicks as well. or use small exercise ball and put it between your feet and lift your legs up and then back down and then to the middle and at the end of the 30 seconds holds it for 5 seconds you will really feel the burn. another one I li ke to do is do plank on exercise ball and hold yourself up for 30 seconds I do 3 sets of those as well. Pushups also work your abs as well so I do 3 sets of 12 and that really tightens things up. Also cardio is great for the abs as well I usually do treadmil or the elpitcal for 30 mins. I noticed that I have some great defintion in my abs since I have been doing this rountine for the last 2 months so good luck to you!!!!!

I used to work at a spa and I do know a good massage will also help. So after a workout get a massage for relaxing and stretching..after all you deserve it.

i feel the same about the skinny girl inside trying to escape...LOL she better hurry because I am heading for a 51st birthday this year..
