    Unfortunately, you can't get rid of your belly just by doing ab workouts--you need fat loss for that, and your diet will be key.

    cardio. especially cardio that gets your whole body moving and strengthens your core, like walking, running, swimming.

    No magic formula. The body will lose fat where it wants to lose fat, in the order it wants. It's genetic.

    Agreee...my Dr told me: caloric deficit (which obviously you are doing, being on MFP and all :wink: ) and cardio, cardio, cardio! She says everyone has abs, they are just hidden under the belly fat. Yes, workouts designed specifically for abs and core strength will help build thos ab muscles, but without weight loss, youll never see them.

    On top of my cardio (Step Aerobics, Spin, Running, etc) I also believe the Zumba and Pilates were helpful in getting my abs to look better....and still working on it!

    Good luck!

    that's how you lead into running...walking at a moderate pace, and even uphill will help...before you know it the lbs. will shed and you will be able to do more every day. takes a lot of work but the reward is soo worth it!
