belly fat..

That's a very hard question to answer. There are thousands of ways to loose belly fat.

You've already identified cardio. Thats the biggest key. It's not easy and it won't fall into your lap but it will go away if you keep at it. Some people have a harder time with belly fat, that's it. There is no magically formula of a workout and diet that will help.

Weight loss is weight loss, just keep on trucking and you'll get there. I promise.

^ What MrPhil said. Where you lose fat is genetic, nothing you can do to change it. Eventually it all comes off. There are no tricks to it.

If you're looking to get shredded 6 pack abs, it 90% nutrition. You can build all of the muscle you want, and lose fat however you like but only to a point. And then it's clean food and mean workout

Ill keep it short and simple.. I have surgery on the 25th, but ill be ready to go in 4-5 months. I want a plan ready so I can jump this last hurdle before next summer. I turn 21 the first day I get to Myrtle Beach and I want to play *kitten* on the beach with my shirt off and a beer in hand. Is that so much to ask?

I know you cant target fat, but if anyone has won a battle against oblique and ab fat then please fill me in on your secret. Tell me exactly what you did -- videos (which ones), weight training (how many days per week and how long each day), cardio (what kind and how long), etc..

Thanks in advance. Please tell your MFP friends to look at the post, I want as many answers as possible.

We have a home in Myrtle Beach. Let me tell you from experience, nobody cares what you look like when you take your shirt off there. They don't call it the Redneck Riviera for nothin'!

So, no matter what you look like when you do make it there, just have a good time (and go slow with the alcohol).

There's a simple way to beat the belly fat: This is the way I lost mine without dieting:

BACK & SIDE OBLIQUE BENDS

Stand upright, keeping legs & pelvis aligned at all times.
Lift arms above head in the same plane as your body while standing erect.
Move slowly during these exercises to avoid any possible muscle tears.

Keeping your legs straight,
Slowly lean backward keeping your arms in the same plane as your upper torso at all times for all exercises.
Start with 5 or more repetitions, and gradually increase to 10 reps twice / day
1) slowly lean backward, keeping your arms in the same plane as your torso
and hold briefly,
then slowly to upright position, repeat
2) slowly lean torso & extended arms toward Rt rear (45 degrees from original position)
don't bend at the waist, just lean into it with arms also extended in the same direction and hold
slowly return to upright, repeat
3) slowly lean torso & extended arms toward Lt rear (45 degrees from original position)
don't bend at the waist, just lean into it with arms also extended in the same direction and hold
slowly return to upright, repeat

If you do the exercises correctly, you will be sore for days. I've been teaching it to the members of my church,
and they say it really works for them.
