You must exercise with intensity. Daily exercising seems like a real commitment, but to many guys it's just an excuse for keeping their efforts at the bare minimum.\n\nYour body contains all the power it needs to shape it the way you want it. It's a stick of dynamite - don't spend time tapping it with a pencil, hit it with a hammer! Get intense and push your own exercise limits.\n\nWorkout only 4 times a week with rest days in between.\n\nIf you can run 5kms in 30 minsplus, there's room for improvement. Jog slow for 3kms, run as hard as you can for the 4th, then jog down to 5, before finishing ultra hard for a 6th km. You'll burn more fat round your middle by incorporating intense intervals in your workouts.\n\nGet to a gym or set up a home gym in your place so you can work mostly on your upper body. Use all the machines for yopur upper torso so that its extra muscle and bulk takes attention away from your middle.\n\nSupport your workouts with nutrition - lean meats only, no sugary cr@p and drink 3 litres of water every day. Green tea has amazing fat reducing properties by releasing fats into the bloodstream to be discharged easier. Snack on nuts like almonds, pumpkin seeds etc. between meals and don't eat anything just before sleeping.\n\nKeep keen!

Re spare tire: that is fat. To burn fat, you need aerobic exercise for AT LEAST 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week. I recommend running.\n\nRe chest and definition: that is muscle. bench press, inclines, declines, military press, standing rows, butterflies and reverse flies, cable pulls, lat pulldowns, rows, etc. Ask one of the trainers at your gym.\n\nRe stomach: situps and crunches, leg lifts, isometrics, etc.\n\nYou need to do TWO things: burn off the fat and build up the muscle. Doing one without the other will not work.\n\nSee these sites for ideas....both are really good:\nhttp://www.shapefit.com/training.html\nhttp://bodybuilding.com/

Whatever you do, don't loose weight by not eating (completly) or by squeezing the weight in your belly out. Tips: Exercize daily (not too strenuous exercise) and eat healthy foods (vegetables and such). Doing a couple sit-ups (10-40 or 50 if you can) every day might help.

Definitely stretching is the key to lose the burn. Also be sure to hydrate yourself before taking off.

Heh, yea biking is an excellent way to loose excess pounds. I have raced bikes since I was 10-11 and I am 21 now-- I'm 6'0" and am only 147 pounds. You probably shouldn't expect to become that light, it takes hours and hours on a saddle-- I would expect most people would want to be a little heavier anyways. The amount of weight you will loose is dependent on how many calories you are able to burn per ride, versus how many calories you eat in one day. The speed that you have to ride to burn a certain amount of calories is dependent on serveral variables: 1. What kind of bike you have (Road or Mountain... or hybrid) 2. The terrain that you will ride on (hilly, flat, huge climbs, etc.) 3. And what kind of wind you will encounter (headwind, tailwind, etc.).  Most important, is that you keep the drive to ride. You have to begin to love riding, and not see it as a chore. The way I do this, is to keep my self motivated my charting by progress. Visit free websites like bikejournal.com where you can log your rides with an included calorie calculator. The website also offers a community of people, many with similar fitness goals as you. As you begin your new exercise routine, its important to remember that starting any new excerise is extremely difficult that first week. You will feel sluggish, and slow, but please understand that this is only temporary, as your muscles get used the the actions on a bike, rides will become exponentially more enjoyable. A good way to begin is to start easy, a flat ride at a moderate pace. Keep your RPMs below 70. After one week, you sould be able to turn the pedals at about 75 RPM, and after a month around 80. I know a poster above states she rides at 60RPM, but either a) thats not fast enought to really get an effective aerobic workout, or b) her gearing is off... ideally your RPM should hover at around 80 when you are riding a flat stretch (calculating by counting the amount of pedal strokes you take in 10 seconds and multiply by 60... or going out an purchasing a bike computer for about $30-50). Best of luck, and ride long, far, and fast.

I used to be really BIG in that area, from 30 inches, i'm now 25-26.I combine logical diet & exercise. Logical means eating a balance diet, less on the fatty & carbo-rich foods but not removing them. In my experience, the ONLY two exercises that guarantee a trim waist-hip area are the DOUBLE ABDOMINAL CRUNCH and the half or low bicycle in the air, w/ some calisthenics to burn calories. But the real key here is DISCIPLINE. You have to be determined. Unfortunately, there are no short cuts unless you have the money to go under the knife or get a lipo. But even if you do have the money, i won't advise anyone to do that still because the benfits of a healthy diet and exercise are way beyond having a small waist-hip. It provides you w/ a healthy outlook in life, slows the aging process, etc., etc., etc.... I have been reading books, magazines and what-have-yous... Believe me... my advise works. Try BELLY-dancing if you find the crunches hard at times... but always do crunches. Check out health magazines or experts on the proper way of doing so... Remember have fun! And be PATIENT. You will see results after two or three months. It may not be significant but it's a good motivation for you. Ciao...

well... i dont think belts are going to help... lots of bad reviews on net 'bout them.. but you can do following to reduce weight without exercise..\nThese things are to be made part of your routine life, so that u dont have to 'exercise' as such but still get your muscles active...\n1. Use staircase instead of lift for 4-5 story heights...\n2. While siting, sit straight with tummy tucked in..\n3. Its okay to run a little to catch a train or to reach some1 waiting for u 10-12 meters away..\n4. Drink water / fresh juice before lunch and dinner\n5. Eat a little less then full..

Put an exercise bike in the shower, wear three to four layers of clothing with a rain suit to cover it all, and ride for about three hours a day. Eat nothing but ice cubes (helps to make the body think you are eating), and take lots of laxatives. I lost 45 lbs. in less than two weeks. It isn't safe, but it's the fastest way I know of to do it. After that just keep up a simple routine and the weight will stay off.

first start with a change of diet.\n\nDiets are stupid, you go on them to lose weight, but as soon as you've lost it, you go off.  then the weight comes back.  Change your whole eating lifestyle, it's really easy: burn more calories in a day than you consume.  That means you either eat less, exercise more, or both.\n\nBoth is the best answer\n\nAfter you've started doing that, do Isometric situps.  Basically, get your feet firmly planted and put your hands interlaced behind your head.  SLOWLY pull yourself up with your stomach muscles, while keeping your back as straight as possible.  Don't cheat yourself by bending your back. \n\nGo until your chest reaches your knees.  Now for the hard part, hold your stomach tight going back down....don't just drop, but slowly fall back to the floor.  Basically, you're doing what you just did, but in reverse.  Repeat until you feel a burning sensation, then do 5 more.

This is easy.\n\nIf you run 5 miles, swim 50 laps (freestyle) and bike another 20 miles every other day... the weight will be gone.

This is old fashioned, but while you loose weight, wear a girdle.  You can get them at Walmart or Target for about 10-15 dollars.  It will help keep everything 'flat' while you loose weight so you don't get bulges and bumps.  I swear by it and so does my neice.  She has had four kids and is flat as a board.  I still have  a lil baby fat left from my last but what is there is flat, which gives you a smaller appearance.  As for exercises, walk, walk, walk.  Stay busy and breast feed!  That is the big key!\nGood Luck!
