Run Hills and Kentucky 22 Ab work out program\nThe Kentucky 22 is 4 sets of sit ups/crunchs targeting each muscle in your abs..... First set of 22 is a reg crunch/sit up. Next sets you lay on your side and crunch from elbow touching the ground to the opposite knee. Each side gets 4 sets of 22. Next cross your legs and do the same crunch's 4 sets of 22 and finish the same way you started. And don't forget your push ups, always come in Handy!

The best way would be to exercise and eat healthy.  Denise Austin has a GREAT video called "Bounce back after baby".  She concentrates on the problem areas that new mommys tend to have.  It worked great for me and i'm sure it will for you too.  Just to let you know how well it worked for me--- I gained 39 pounds with my last baby.  After my doctor okayed me to be able to exercise again safely i started using this video and watching how i ate.  I lost a total of 69 pounds in about 8 months time.  Good luck and take care.  If i can do it, anyone can!!

haha ur in the same pickle i am, im 16 6'5 and slim. I want the same thing. Dude dont listen to neone but me alright ive researched it for the past month. You need to cut the fat in ur stomach, k so no fat on the stomach. Eat a high protein diet low in carbs and fats. Do mad crunches i do 100 a day with a 20 pound weight and if ur skinny like me it will pop up. After i do my crunches it exposes a 4 pack. Also run because this gets rid of the fat on ur stomach. when ur done doing crunches everyday by the way. Stretch your stomach get in pushup position keep ur legs on the floor and stretch ur abs(it defines them) good luck ill have mine faster than urs!!!! Jk take it easy bro

Excercise!\nis not the same way as taking care of your chores at home. I guess you have low metabolism that your body wont burn calories compared when you were younger!\nYou need to exercise like jogging, walking, treadmill, swimming etc and discipline is the key,depending how bad you want it! With exercise you sweat, burn body fat much more! Keep on your diet but exercise as well- not only good for your weight but could release stress and toxic inside your body, too!

im in the exact same situation. im 16, and even though i dont really need to lose alot of weight, i wish i were more active... the only way to become more active and to stay active is to make ur activities fun. for instance, if you decide to go jogging, take a friend with you to keep you company and to encourage you.. choose the sports that you enjoy most and practice them regularly.. remember you can also get active indoors.. if you are home alone or have nothing to do, try doing a few sit-ups followed by some side bends.. GOOD LUCK\n\n\n\nps : its always a good idea to make a workout playlist on your mp3 player (if u have one) that contains all the songs that stimulate you to get active and pump it up!

You should excerise regularly and try to go to bed at a decent time.  Its not always easy with kiddos but making time for yourself to go for a run or go to the gym!  You will notice the difference in energy.    And a little coffee now and then won't hurt!

Turn your daily chores into a trainig regimine. I'm a boxer and I use that to keep in shape. Like what you pick up laundry, tighten your stomach, bend at the knees and lift your cloths, this is a nonpainful way to do sit up with out actually doing them. If you need to grab something tighten them muscles and turn at the waist and grab somethign on your left with your right hand. This works your side sumcles. What also works wonders and this works for a lot of Martial artists. When you are resting and sitting at home just watching tv, turn your comercial breaks into training set, sit up, sorry to target those musles they must be done. you might also try walking around the house on your tip toes this tightens and firms your calves and thoughs, and the extra callorie burn might reduce your belly fat. also eat smaller meals and drink plenty of water. Another great solution is to stop drinkiong all sugar drinks for a week and drink only water for a week, try to eat resposibly durring that week and this will trick your body into burning the fat it is storing instead of storing more, then after the week ease back into drink soda and jiuces, this will reduce your need to sode, but keep up the juices, your body breaks those sugars down faster than sugar in soda.

some aerobics will do the trick.. sit ups are not good because they will give you the muscle.. but it wont get rid of fat.. so some cardio will do you  fine

I've had the same difficulty you have.  At the age of 29, I am able to embarass the asker by saying, "no honey, it's just fat" when they ask how many months pregnant I am...  But from my own experience at your age, I remember that they just won't believe you in school.  \n\nThe only things I can tell you follow the lines of your other answerers.  The crunches are a good start, and they can work well with other torso exercises.  (However, be sure you "sit-up" as you exhale or it can make the problem worse!)  The torso exercises are usually some form of exercise involving small weights (3lb or so, you don't want to bulk up!) and doing repetitive movements swinging from side/down to opposite side/up.  \n\nYou also might want to try walking, paired with arm swinging.  It looks strange, but if you have the bent elbows and actually move them consciously -- not just swinging by reflex -- it's supposed to help your torso get into shape.  There are also elastic stretch-bands that you can use to do leg exercises, and these will help tone as well.  \n\nOne other thing is the water suggestion.  You know the old health suggestion to drink 6-8 glasses of water a day?  Well, that's not caffeinated soda -- it's water!  Caffeine is a problem in this also.  Water will literally help to "wash out" your system, and initially it may help you to lose 5 lbs and its corresponding inches quickly.  It also keeps you hydrated and feeling like you have more energy, which will help you to become more active.  Moving around can help with that also.  \n\nLast, you are 13 and likely in your growth spurt stages now, and the abdomenal muscles will likely slim down as you grow.  Some of the "pudgy" people I knew in elementary and junior high school became the very slender people in high school!  At your age, it's never too early to begin exercising and drinking water -- but don't go to any extremes or begin starving yourself.  The exercise and water should help you now, and it will continue to be helpful all your life if you make it a regular habit.

When you exercise, you cannot target a specific area for weight loss. That is a severely got-way-out-of-freaking-control myth. \n\nYour best bet overall is just do some cardio training. Not only will you burn calories productively, but you're build up your endurance for dancing or cheerleading or whatever you want to do. \n\nWhatever you do, don't skimp on the food, take laxatives, or any other extremely STUPID weight loss idea that may cross your mind if you get more desparate. The key here is excercise and discipline. \n\nAnd hey quite frankly if you're at a healthy weight for your age/height...and your stomach is supposedly in the way of getting a dancing or cheerleading position, you may want to put your self-value a little higher and reconsider your aspirations here. \n\nIn any case, if you exercise, go for something general and effective. Targetting areas only works for building muscle, and then at that point it's about eliminating fat. Know that EVERY person you know has a six pack...some of us just have a bit of cushioning in the way  :p

Well exercise for about 45 minutes a day for about 4 or 5 days a week, and it can even be playing with your kids outside or whatnot. And just watch what you eat and eat smaller portions

I personally haven't had a baby, but cardio at the gym does wonders when you want to lose inches. Eliptical trainers will do it fast. I've lost lots of weight that way and I know others who have lost baby fat that way also. It's the fastest healthiest thing I know to do. Also if you do it regularly it gets easy and the results last.

First of all if your child is causing you problems while you are exercising, I suggest that you let a relative, friend, or someone you trust babysit him/her. But if that's not the case then I suggest for you to exercise daily and eat health. Think about how nice you would be looking if you do lose all that weight by summer. \n\nYOUR DIET??????????????????\nIt not nesserly means to not eat anything, but to watch what you are eating.When I say eat healthy that means try to eliminate fried, cooked food or fast food. Instead eat vegetables, fruits, grain cereal, drink water, and eat a balanced meal. Try to eliminate any other drink that is not water because most drinks them have too many carbohydrates or added sugars.\n\nExercising??????????????????\nTry to set a goal for yourself. Do aerobics, exercise videos, running, or mainly focus in your abdonimal area. \n\nTo it to impress your self and because you are a winner and not a failer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nTry not to give up and have faith in your self. While you are exercising think about all the hard work that's going to pay off when you are in the beach in your bikini. Find ways to motivate your self. Invite some friends to go run or exercise with you.\n\nDo as follow and you will see great results. But if for any reason you don't find the results that will satisfy you, try this other alternative..........\n\nHave you heard of the Atkins Diet?????????????\nThe Atkins Diet consists of you eating as much (certain) food as you want and loosing lots of weight. Of course by exercising too. \n\nThe Plan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nEat has much meat as you want or any food that has few carbohydrates. You should eat any kind of  meat, eggs, sugar free jello(has to be sugar-free), creamcheese, whip cream, and any kind of chesse. All these foods have few carbohyrates. The main plan is to watch out in the amount of carbohyrates you eat. Don't eat any kind of bread or food that has many carboyrates. Because if you do the diet and end up eating a lots of carboyrates the diet is not going to work and you will not lose weight. I recommend you to follow the diet strictly because it does give you great results.\nHowever if you are interested find out more about the diet in the internet\n\nRemember the best way to lose weight is by setting a plan that will help you stay focused.

Stop playing the victim and never put your finger down your throat again that is so silly you are better than that and can fight this with some inner strength. \n\nIf you don't have access to a gym you can still modify this plan. If I were you I would consider gym membership with a creche for your baby. I have been where you are and understand but don't isolate yourself get back into the real world and meet some women just like you who have had kids and want to gain back their phyisic and fitness. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 (women) - 1800 (men) and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

Just exercise and take your time to get back into shape...that "extra" skin will go away...you may not ever have the flat tummy you once had, but you certainly will "shed" the gummy extra skin that you have right now.  I can remember how mortified I was following my first child...but it will get better : )  Enjoy your little one, he will grow up fast!!!
