The only way to obtain the sexy stomach is to get your total body fat under 10%. If you could strip that layer off right now you'll see the packs that are already there. Needless to say exercise will make them more define so take a deep breath and start working.
-Use something to anchor your feet (couches are great) and do regular situps. 25 reps/2 sets. After two weeks add on on more reps or hold a weight to your chest.
-Lie flat on the ground with your hands to your sides, with your hands as an anchor, curl your head up while raising your legs straight up. Concentrate on crunching you abs. You want to lift your hips off the ground a little bit. 15 reps/2-3 sets
The thighs are a group of muscle that you use constantly. Your thighs and your butt will have to be worked for you to get toned results. The best exercise is squats and any variation of it.
-Hold dumbbells in your hands (10-20 pounds). Have your feet a little wider than shoulder width apart. Lower yourself with the dumbells at your side and keep your back straight with shoulders square. Make your legs 90 degrees and than come back up but squeeze your buttocks as best you can before you go down for the next rep. 12reps/3-4 sets
The reps and sets are just examples for you because I don't know what level of fitness you are at. Do what's right for you to challenge you and make sure you breathe and sweat. Running and jogging are great weight loss activities so you should incorporate them into your daily exercise. Start off with a good distance and extend that when you get stronger. A Big factor is EATING HEALTHY FOODS.

unfortunately, you can't spot reduce. You have to mix a good exercise routine with a balanced diet to achieve weight loss. It is also good to drink lots of water. If you havn't exercised, you should start out small, like going for a walk in the morning or after dinner. Also, avoide concentrated carbohydrates, like bread and sweets. Eat plenty of fiber like veggies, and fruit, and protien. Check out the link for DR. Mirkin's website, and look at his articles on health and fitness. It is really informative, and presented in an easy to understand way.

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:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm
Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html
It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
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:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/carbohydrates.html
Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/
A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.
*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Send me an email or yahoo instant message to "gainbetterhealth" if you want an indoor air purifier recommendation and if you have any questions.
*Click on all the source links below to get the full benefit of the recommendations. The answers presented to your health questions are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health providers with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.
