Answer 1

Walking has got to be the easiest way to trim off the fat. Walk quickly, build up a sweat, get your heartrate up. The link below is a very cool site, the activity calculator is awesome it tells you how many calories are burned for like 200 different activities for any amount of time you enter , activities include housework, walking, jogging , rowing, coal mining, sitting in your ofice, bicycling, dancing, painting, gardening, child care, ironing, firefighting, sitting in class and many many more. Target training your abdominals won't be nearly as effective as a brisk walk everyday, with crunches and leg raises you will certainly tone your abs but you still wont see them because they will still be covered in fat. Walk walk walk its much easier than crunches or leg raises, when you trim the fat off then you can target train to tone them up(but I bet you wont need to). Please trust me on this. You wont need to walk many many miles, I live on an old radar base (pine tree line) and it takes me 16 minutes to do 1 lap around it. I sacrificed some TV time at night to get rest so I can get up earlier in the morning(6am) and go for 1 or 2 laps before breakfast(gonna make a commitment to do 4 laps in less than an hour every day) I have 2 kids whom I spend alot of time with so I have to "sacrifice" my own time at night to "invest" in my own health and longevity.

Wear proper footwear and tie them up good, you dont want your feet to slide around in them or you will get blisters very quickly. Dont consume any sugar before during or after the walk or you will drastically reduce the effectiveness, you want to burn your bodyfat not the sugars in your food or drinks. DO NOT DRINK POWERADE or anything like that they are like 250 calories a bottle and have lots of sugar.Drink water.

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

Answer 3

You can't spot lose fat like you can spot build muscle. When you attempt to lose fat off your body it is going to take fat from every part. So when you diet, it is going to take from your chest, butt, waist, legs, ect.

Sit-ups will condition your abs to make them more defined but do not accually burn the fat away.

Unfortunitly for females the first area the body starts to burn stored fat is the chest area. So if you want to lose some inches off your waist you need to lose some inches in other places a well. Its not limited to your chest though, you will also see slimmer areas of your butt, legs, hips, and belly as well.

So your answer is no. You will lose inches in other places as well

A perfect example is when you watch those weight loss commericals if you look at the ladies chests when they do the before and after, you will see the breast size have gotten smaller as well as the hips, legs, and waist.

Sorry, I know this isnt what you want to hear

situps (really "crunches" is what they call it now) and that exercise where you lean to the left, then you lean to the right. Do 25 on each side per night. And give yourself some time to lose this weight! Make it a routine. Just a routine. You get up, you don't even think about it. You exercise. Just another part of you day. :-)
And exercises for the back are not a bad thing. And lastly, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it(!), leg lifts, yes, those nasty leg lifts. Good for the lower ab muscles.
Good luck to ya. :-)

Answer 5

I can tell you by my and my daughter's experience, and from articles I've read recently that walking is the best way to get rid of abdominal fat. If you exercize and get into shape, the fat in the abdomen is often the first fat to disappear, which makes your waist look smaller. Give it a try...walking at a brisk pace for 30 minutes 5 times a week. I guarantee that if you are eating a sensible diet, you will see results!!

Answer 6

Just sit ups won't work to help lose around your waist. Because it might tone the muscle, but there is still fat covering it. Your going to have to go on a diet, and do sit ups. Just do it until you are satisfied with your waist. Hopefully you won't lose your 36c and 47!!! Good luck

Answer 7

Liposuction is probably the easiest way. Exercise is probably the second easiest. Diet also plays a big part in fat stored around the middle. You'd need to reduce your fat intake heaps.
I vote exercise

Answer 8

Situps will strengthen your back and abdominal muscles; the fat lies on top of them (and in them as well).

You'll need to eat less and exercise aerobically if you want to burn fat.

And it will come off of your entire body, not just your waist. There's no such thing as targeted fat loss.

Good luck!

Answer 9

I'd reccomend 400 sit-ups, 3-4 times a day, and a diet that doesn't exceed 1500 calories/day.

Answer 10

Strength training at the gym, pilates and a modified high protein diet such as South Beach.
