jogging is an excellent exercise because it let you lose weight
evenly throughout your whole body. If you want to lose weight in
specific areas, you should target them with exercises. If they are
your problem areas, they will be very difficult to tone. You will have
to work double on them. The best approach is this:
1. Lower/control your daily calorie intake (control for normal
weight, lower for overweight).
2. Run/jog to lower your overall body fat percentage.
3. Target your problem areas with exercises.
an excellent exercise, you can do it in front of your TV: sit on a
stool, and put your toes under something (piece of heavy furniture,
for example). In your hands hold a little dumbbell. Please, make sure
that it is not very heavy, start with one kilo, for example, or you
will damage your back and spine! Slowly move the upper part of your
body back, until it’s parallel with the ground. Stop for a second and
move it back to the sitting position. Repeat ten times. Every week add
to the number of repetitions. You will see the results in a week,
guaranteed! You will see or feel under the fat – if you have any – six
pack and muscles. Dumbbells do wonders. Much better than these
crunches – I came up to three hundreds and there was no results AT
ALL. With the dumbbells you will see it in a week.
Crunches.
Lose fat or wear a girdle.

Cardio jogging
You probably heard this a million times before, but I’m serious. It worked for me, took me 6 weeks, on a straight routine.
I’ve found just eating healthy and saving sweets and junk food for special occasions works. But of course this goes along with normal exercise, which is about 30 to 60 minutes of activity a day. I usually jog for thirty and then concentrate on abdominal muscles eight to ten minutes after. I do crunches but I use a six pound exercise ball (I don’t know where it came from, it belongs to my mom) to really focus on the right muscles.
If I were you I’d form my own exercise regime according to what would be easy for you to do during the week (like don’t plan on jogging around your neighborhood if you really can’t see yourself doing it). Starting out small and working toward short term goals will keep you motivated. So really eating right and staying active, no matter how cliche, is the way to do it, good luck!
Follow this Diet chart and yoga aasans
It is good that you have sought the help of Yoga to bring your body back into shape. While your practices and measure to eliminate excess weight or what you do is important, what you shouldn’t do is just as important.
* Don’t resort to weight reduction pills or powders of any sort and please avoid crash diets. We shall prescribe you a simple diet that is healthy, easy to follow and will deliver the desired results. See a nutritionist or dietician, if you must, but preferably one who knows and practices Yoga.
* Never skip meals. This makes you overeat at other times. So, by all means eat three or even four times a day, but eat light and sparingly.

Yogic Diet
This is very important, if you wish to get back into shape and develop a healthy, slim and shapely physique. Let your diet be Yogic and Sattvic (pure, light and predominantly vegetarian). This means plenty of raw foods – salads, sprouts and seasonal fruit – vegetable juices, dried fruits and loads of water.
Avoid potatoes, peas, chick peas, grams, peanuts, all non-veg fare, fried, fatty and spicy foods, junk / fast foods, packaged foodstuffs and confectionary products. Also keep away from milk and milk products such as cheeses and butter. But you may have plenty of diluted buttermilk prepared from skimmed milk. Avoid snacking between meals and, as mentioned before, never skip a meal.
three times a week 45 minutes or less is all you need to build a hard midsection. Try doing more exercises that indirectly penetrate the abdominal wall like snatches, lunges, spiderman pushups. sit-ups and crunches are actually the least effective method of developing your abs. I know its shocking but true.
