Answer 1

Well no matter how fun the exercises are, you can't spot reduce your tummy and hips. You'll have to lose overall body fat.

There is no magic weight-loss pill, supplement, fad diet, or juice. The ONLY way to lose weight is to consume less calories than you burn. Brad Pitt didn’t get buff for Fight Club by drinking green tea, and you won’t either.

The only “fat burning” supplement that actually works is the Ephedrine/Caffeine/ Aspirin (ECA) cocktail favored by serious athletes. I don’t recommend it for the casual dieter. I used when I was an active duty Marine, in my twenties, preparing for a bodybuilding contest. Obviously I was in excellent shape already. Ephedrine has been known to cause serious heart problems.

Hoodia, on the other hand, has been scientifically proven to reduce hunger. The problem with hoodia is that it is not regulated by the FDA, and studies have indicated that most products claiming to contain hoodia actually have little, if any, pure African hoodia. Those products that did contain hoodia were inconsistent from one capsule to the next. I have found two brands that seem to be consistent and effective, Relacore and PowerNutra.

Exercise doesn’t mean you have to join a gym or go to an aerobics class, although I would highly recommend it. To burn fat, you should exercise at a moderate pace for at least thirty minutes. A moderate pace is one in which your heart rate is elevated but you’re not so winded that you can’t carry on a normal conversation. That is the mode in which your body burns fat stores. High heart-rate cardio work tells your body to burn glycogen and store the fat for later—you don’t want that.

Walk for 30 minutes every day including weekends, Mondays, and Fridays. Do at least 30 minutes of weight training each week. Do 60 minutes of additional, higher intensity cardio each week. You don’t need additional equipment—infomercial products like the Ab Lounger, Sauna Belt, etc. are all worthless gimmicks so don’t waste your money.

Eat breakfast, and eat five small meals per day instead of three big meals. Don’t starve yourself during the day—many low-calorie diets fail because when you go hungry, your body switches to “famine mode” and stores fat for the coming drought. On the other hand, if you don't wake up ravenous, then you ate too much the day before. Stop eating at least two hours before you go to bed.

Cut back on the foods you eat with high fat and high sugar content. Eat only single servings (read the label) with less than 3 grams trans fat and 3 grams sugars. Your primary source of sustenance should be grilled boneless skinless chicken breasts and canned tuna (in water, not oil). No dairy (except low fat cottage cheese occasionally); no processed meats; no heavy sauces; no chips, cookies, sodas, breads, etc.

Don't consume alcohol—alcohol is nothing more than empty calories with no nutritional value. Some people will argue that alcohol has some health benefits when consumed in moderation—I’m not debating that—but we’re talking about weight loss here. Lay off the booze if you want to lose the belly.

Drink lots of water, then drink more. Not tea, not Gatorade, not milk. Water. If your urine isn’t almost clear, you need to drink more water.

Some of the best that I have found:

1) Plie - Stand with your heels directly under your armpits with your knees and toes pointed out to your sides. Tuck your hips under and keep your shoulders back so that from your hips to your shoulders is a vertical line. Bend your knees and lower your hips until your thighs are horizontal - you will have to flex your glutes (your behind muscles) to keep your balance and your torso vertical. Do this 20 times, and on the 20th time, hold it in the down position for 20 seconds.

Then, raise your heels so that you are balanced on your toes. Now do 20 more.

2) Lay with your back on an exercise ball (the big ones) or on a chair. Make a "table top" from your knees through your hips, stomach, and chest. Then, lower your hips about 1/2 way to the floor and then contract and squeeze them together, raising them up toward the ceiling. Picture picking up coins off the floor with your butt cheeks or pulling the petals off a rose or pulling dental floss out of a spool. Release and repeat. Do this 30 times, then cross one leg on top of the other and do 20 more on each leg.

Give it a try!
