My Answer!

There are actually a few ways to loose stomach fat. One is various types of crunches. Open any magazine about fitness or beauty and you'll see. Don't forget to stretch after, though. That's when you really "activate" the exercise. Star with a bout 2 sets of 20 a day, resting or drinking water in between. Increase by 10 or 15 more every week.

Another thing you have to do is eat low-fat, highly nutritious foods... any weight loss pro can tell you that.

Other exercises that cut belly bulge are:

1. steep hill biking
2. hiking
3. crouches

Next, once you have a plan, set a goal. keep a "diary" of your belly weight loss, and who knows! the results are endless! Just get inspired and set your mind to it. You might just end up looking like Cameron Diaz!

Answer

You should do a cardio work out that will burn fat. Then maintain a balanced diet that is lower in calories than you burn in a day. that way your body does not think you are starving and begin consuming muscle instead of fat.

Answer

A cardio workout will burn the fat but if your genes dictate that your fat hangs on to your stomach, it'll be difficult for the world to discover your six pack. Oftentimes, our genes dictate where the fat goes. Spot exercising will build the muscle but it may not remove the fat. Our bodies love to hold on to a certain percentage of fat. If we go too low, then our body starts to tear down our muscle -- an effect that works against us.

If you want to know if you can get rid of the stomach fat, take a look at your family and relatives. If no one has a slim stomach, chances are you won't be able to lose it. But if you have relatives with a no-fat stomach, cardio and working out with weights is the best way to define your abs. One other point to remember, the older you get the harder it is to achieve a defined stomach.

Answer

From what I understand, there is no way to target a particular area on the body for fat loss. Building muscle in a particular area does not "burn the fat around it." I suggest getting your body in a catabolic state which is burning more calories than eating. Your weight loss will be a combination of muscle and fat from all around your body (there is also no way to just burn fat). Once you've lost enough weight, build muscle to reduce your body fat percentage and target those abs and maybe they'll show right through!!

In not possible to spot reduce fat in just one part of your body like your belly so to lose belly fat you will need to lose the fat all over your body.
