if you already have a cardio routine keep doing that and maybe step it up a level and i hear that reverse crunches work pretty well.(those are the kind where you pull your knees into your chest)

For your stomach you should try the backwards situps.  Lie down on the floor with arms down and legsstraight down.  Keep your legs straight as you bring them in the air.  Take them back down straight and continue this on a daily basis.  For your butt, try deep lunges.  Just stand up straight and put one leg in front of the other.  Lean into the leg in the front ten times.  (Put all of your weight on that leg.)  And then switch to the other leg and do the same.

Eat a healthy, balanced diet.  In addition, increase your low fat dairy products.  Dairy helps your body burn that stubborn belly fat. Get alot of exercise, specifically targeting the stubborn area.  Crunches, etc.  Good Luck!

start doing crunches.  And do them different ways, i.e., lay on your side and have your head looking up at the ceiling, the normal way, and don't forget to work on your lower abdomen by laying flat and lifting your legs up.  You need to start with an amount that you can handle, until your stomach muscles are screaming, then roll over and lay on your stomach and lift your upper body off the floor arching your back to stretch them out for a smidge.  Work your way up to about 100-200 a day.  You'll be looking good in no time.

I've discovered the perfect exercise to tighten that loose belly faster than anything I've ever tried.  The only things you'll need is a basketball, a comfortable chair and a hard surface. Sit on the edge of the chair with your legs spread out as far as they can go in the opposite dirrection. Hold your stomache in and your buttocks tight. Sit straight as if your head was trying to reach the ceiling. Bounce the ball in between your legs keeping your elbows touching your sides. The only thing moves is your waist and your lower arms from the elbow down. twist side to side as you bounce the ball. You can do this while watching your favorite tv show. Before you know it an hour have past and your stomach feels as though you did 1000 ab rolls.  Do this everyday or every other day without fail and after two weeks I know you'll see results. Keep it going with a sensible diet. You'll see more results.

Well, that's kind of what doing sit-ups is supposed to do :) Try doing crunches instead.  Lay on your back with your legs either resting on a bench or a bed, put your hands behind your head, and use your abs to pull your shoulder blades off the ground.  It'll work mainly your upper abs, so try to supplement by doing some bike work or knee tucks, flutter kicks, etc., for your lower abs.

If you are home you can try to put something warm on it (like a bottle filled with warm water) it should make your belly muscles relax. And also just lay down and stretch your body and then try to relax.\nHope that helps.

running really works the stomach, if you do a combination of crunches, situps, then try twisting your torso when you do a situp that works the obliques, and then lay on the floor and hold your feet a couple inches off the floor and raise them up and when you come down stop a couple inches before you touch the floor that will really work the lower abs

Lets see try crunches as well as six inches you lay flat on your back lift yer feet six inches off the floor and hold it until u cant then let them drop and repeat also try touching yer toes and holding your arms straight out to your side and twisting this will work the muscles of yer sides and also try alternating touching your calf on each side from same start position as the twist kinda like a side crunche works good for those love handles .

Situps or lay flat on your back arms above your head and feet straight, slowly raise your arms and upper torso, along with pulling your legs up, stay level and use your stomache muscles to hold you in that position for five seconds, go back flat slowly while flexing your stomache muscles. Try 10 reps, then see how you feel. Good Luck!

You need to work on your abs and your lower back. Those muscles work together. If your abs are weak, you probably have a weak lower back as well.  That will make you slouch, make your stomach stick out more and cause lower-back pain and even constipation if your intestines are too crunched from your bad posture.  (My personal trainer taught me all this.)\nImagine this: your head is a block of wood.  So are your shoulders, your hips, your knees and your feet. Each block is attached to the next by a cord.  On top of your head is a balloon. Feel the balloon rise and pull all of the blocks into alignment. That's how you want to stand and sit.  Your shoulders should be slightly back.  If you are standing still, tilt your pelvis slightly forward and bend your knees just a bit. You'll feel your spine settle right into  your pelvic girdle. It's very comfortable. (That part's from my Chi Gong teacher.)

Well, you must have a couple of minutes when you wake up in the morning, rite? Do some sit-ups to exercise your stomach muscle. Do it gradually, beginning with only 10 sit ups, then add it everyday.\n\ntry to walk as much as you can...Don't use the elevator/escalator too often if you work/live in a building.And on weekend, spend some time in the morning to walk, jog or bike.\n\nGood Luck!

you are normal, but if you really want to reduce your waist, there are a few things you can do.  ab exercises are always good.  if you can't feel any fat, then you should be able to see rippled abs that look like dinner buns.  a quick way to reduce abs over night is to wrap saran wrap around your midsection over night, just don't wrap too tight.  this will make your midsection sweat while you sleep.

Try to do some ab exercises. Crunches, or bicycle kicks are good.

I also think exercise is the only way to tone muscles. Or electrical stimulation, if you have some money to spend.\n\nIn your situation, isotonic contractions of the muscles in the stomach area might help. That means that you contract your abdomen muscles and keep them contracted for a while (the longer the better) while u do ur usual stuff, talk to people etc. The method is far from being fast, but I think you will have some additional benefits (as for any other exercise, the brain will probably release serotonine, which is a hormone that makes you feel happy).\n\nOtherwise you should ask a trained professional - kynetotherapist or the like. Good luck and all the best to you! And all my respect for what you try to do.

Do some toning exercises like stomach crunches.  Hope this helps.

You can't focus on just one body area to loose fat from, so you're going to have to loose wieght and do crunches to tone up your abdomen. Don't do sit-ups--those are too stressful to your back. Below is a link that might interest you.
