    Interval training! Alternate high and low intensity cardio exercises in a single workout.

    Unfortunately, life doesn't let you spot tone, but it's great for burning fat!

    If its only a weekly workout, then do it more often. It's several times a week, train for longer and harder. Add extra sessions and train more than once in a day if you can. Fat will come off where it wants, not if you target a specific area.... so lots of Phys, cardio etc is great. I found running the best way, especially long distance with a few sprints thrown in!

    If you are on a treadmill, pump your arms up and down with light weights. It is very hard to keep doing it.
  • First of all, whatever you are doing is working very well. Your weight loss is amazing. I started this program in May and have only dropped 10 lbs :(. I will have to admit I have gone thru a lazy time from August to now...trying to get back on track. I have found the Kettlebell workouts to be good for ab and core workout. I have been using Kettleworx, however, you can find very similar programs that dont have so many dvd's. I also have been using the ab doer twist---this is an excellent workout program for lower ab toning. However, you may not be interested in purchasing equipment.

    Totally agree with above / below! Kettle bells are fab - combine with a good cardio session and you're there!
