I've been doing ab exercises for a long while now and they're actually working. But, I've noticed if i don't "suck in" my stomach, it'll stick out and look very big. This doesn't make sense at all. I'm not overweight at all, I'm 6'1" and only 150 lbs, plus I'm very fit and athletic. I want to see some results but for some reason, my stomach sticks out and is very unattractive. Whats going on and how do i fix it? (if it helps at all my 10 year old brother's belly sticks out like mine too)

Try doing cardio instead of just muscle building. If the fat around the abdomen is not removed then the muscle will have a harder time getting firm.

That sucks. Men tend to accumulate fat in the beer belly area, and women do around their hips and thighs. Just because you have a lot of muscle below the fat, doesn't mean you can just make it disappear. You need to do more cardio workouts to get rid of your overall fat, and then your abs will start to show and your beer belly will go away. A leaner diet, eating foods with more concentrated nutrients (i.e. eliminating sugary drinks and white bread) will also help get rid of the fat.
Good luck!

a million) regulate your eating routine. Your rice habbit isn't the purely mission holding your abdomen enormous! skinny human beings (with flat stomachs) or ususally that way because they were born to be skinny. they have good genes for a extreme metabolism. those who were no longer born to be skinny ought to flow by countless sacrafice to make their body do issues it develop into no longer designed to do. which ability an somewhat health, low fat, low calorie eating routine. No goodies, and no or little or no empty energy (like pasta or rice). White rice is carefully valueless in case you do not stay in a arising u . s . a . and favor the energy to get with the help of. do away with your rice habit thoroughly, or swap to brown rice. I grew-up eating white rice and pressured myself to change to small quantities of brown. I lost countless weight that way. eliminating sweet beverages (non-eating routine soda or maybe juice) also made a brilliant distinction. 2) extra cardio. The dancing will be adequate to get you to the position you're, even though it continues to be a really low-result cardio exercising. swap to walking, cycling or swimming laps. The dancing isn't getting your heart price extreme adequate. Congrats on dropping the 18 kilos!

Hi.The best way of loosing fat around the middle is to cut down on the total amount of fat in the foods you eat and a regular walking routine of 4 kilometres a day.This should reduce your belly circumference by a half to one inch per week.
Cheers

I too store all my fat in my belly...nowhere else...
I'm a slim guy...except when my belly starts sticking out.
like the people above me said, go jogging or swimming.
When my belly starts sticking out I just go running and it goes away...I don't even do abdominal workouts....
Also you might want to limit your sugar and carb intake...
I am in no way a health nut...
But if i cut back on my soda...and candy...
I can still eat a regular lunch, and dinner...

to me it seems like its just how your body was made and i dont think that it can be changed, keep continuing with your workouts, the results may just be not noticable yet
