    I am trying to burn belly fat as well. I run and walk while sucking my stomach in. I also do sit ups and other ab exercises. I'm slowly starting to see a difference.

    Less stress and enough sleep. The other things mentioned don't hurt either :)

    Pilates is great for your abs/core, but diet is also super important for that area of the body. Abs are made in the kitchen.

    You can’t target an area of your body to burn fat from. Your genetics will determine where your body stores/burns fat. All of the exercises mentions will just work your ab muscles. You have to focus on your caloric deficit and losing fat all over.

    Unfortunately you can't choose where you lose fat from. Belly fat can be stubborn, for me my trouble area is my thighs. I lost weight almost right away from my waist when I started to choose my carbs more carefully. I stopped eating white bread/ pasta/ rice as much as possible, and try to stick to whole wheat breads, oats and grains.
    Strength training + some cardio+ eating clean as much as possible will help you lose fat. Exercises to strengthen the abdominal area- I have found hanging knee raises and the seated ab crunch machine really helped make my abs super hard, and the plank is also good.
    Good luck :)
