    You can not target fat in a specific part of your body. All you can do is reduce your overall body fat

    This is true. But, while you can't choose where your body chooses to lose fat first, you can tone your core muscles to improve your posture and make the tummy look smoother. Zumba is great for this, as is walking or running. Squats are also good.

    Tone your core?

    For most people strengthening their core will actually make them look thicker......Until they cut the fat...they really won't see the results they are looking for.

    Its a hard area for women to lose fat, intact the hardest. There's not much you can do, iv found jogging has helped to flatten a little but iv lost most weight in my legs and hips from it. Cut the sugar keep up the cardio! Lots of water too I finds helps gloating but thats me. Keep it up

    Agreed. You def. can't target specific fat. You can however work to build your ab muscles thus hopefully reducing the appearance of the belly fat. Good luck.
