There is no quick solution. Everyone wants to get rid of belly fat. There is no perfect way to do it, but there are a number of exercises that will help according to Dr. Peter Francis of San Diego State University. He compared various stomach exercises to see which ones were the best overall to flatten the belly.
Stomach exercises don’t remove fat from the belly alone, but help with fat loss overall, which in turn leads to fat loss on the belly. That is how any exercise or weight loss works. Stomach exercises strengthen the stomach muscles, which helps keep the stomach flat by holding everything in place.
Dr. Francis’ research suggests that the best exercise overall for the stomach is called “the bicycle”. You lie on the floor with the lower part of your back pressed into the floor. Bend your knees at a 45 degree angle and move your legs as if pedaling a bike and alternately bringing your right elbow to your left knee and your left elbow to your right knee as part of the pedaling. If you haven’t done this exercise before you may be able to do only one to start, or you might even have to work up to doing one, but stick with it until you can do 10 or 20 or more.
Another very good exercise is the simple crunch or one of the varieties of the crunch. Lie on the floor, bend your knees to a 90 degree angle, bring your chest toward your knees, return to the starting position, and repeat as many times as you can. I sometimes do this one with my lower legs resting on a chair.
Part of flattening the stomach also means flattening the inward curve of your lower back. Stand against a wall and get your lower back as close to the wall as possible. Try to remember and maintain that position during the day.
Of course, these exercises are not enough. To lose fat you have to include aerobic exercise and healthy eating – walk, run, jog, bike or swim and watch the calories.
Most people say Cardio (Running)
Go jogging, do sit ups, and eat as least as you can.
You should feel thinner within the week.
darling..it doesnt happen fast.
I had a medium sized stomach too…but I did 20 sit ups…rest for 10 seconds, then 20 sit up again.. for about 3 months straight.. now, I bearly have one! Oh, and drink water… It sounds dumb, I know…but it helps.. Take it from someone who’s actually tried pretty much everything!! (except pills) Just the basic stuff helps!
Good luck!
firstly, an advise for qulified dietatic conselor ur doctor should be obtain. Then followed by your commitment to dicipline your life style esspecially in diet.
sit ups do not burn fat. it’s a balance b/w eating sensibly and getting into high intensity workouts – not the boring kinds!
