Answer 1

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

Answer 2

Continue raising your heart rate at least 20 min/day, stay low-cal, avoid sugars and fats and include a few foods you like, but you have to add abdominal exercises too. Crunches (not sit-ups) work best, 3 sets of 15 center, left, and right, every day. Continue for 3-6 months and they'll be gone.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

Answer 4

you need targeted toning exercises for your mid section... abs abs abs... you need to hit your obliques, so crunches with side twists.. or sit ups where you are sort of laying on your side... things that will target your sides. Also twists with a broom handle across your shoulders and you arms around the broom handle, this helps stretch out and tone your sides, too...

Answer 5

you could try crunches or side bends. there really is no way to lose weight in a certain spot and excess around the middle is always the last to go. jeep at what you are doing and it will come off.

Answer 6

Excercise the abs along with your current workout.

Sit-ups and crunches are the standard.

That will massively speed it up, of course. But, as it stands, EVENTUALLY you'll lose them. You won't gain abs of steel, but you'll lose the love handles.

Best of luck.

Answer 7

That is your problem, your age. Try working out with weights a couple times a week.

Answer 8

you need to do crunches to each side to work on your obliques. if you don't know how to do a proper crunch, ask a trainer at the gym to make sure what you're doing is effective.

Answer 9

Have you tried crunches and other exercises for abs?

Answer 10

tough area to lose from....no way to target them...they are fat too...just keep up what you are doing.. on the right track!
