I'll tell you what, if you are really serious about getting rid of unsightly fat around you sides and stomach this is what you need to do. Change your diet to include more fruits, fruit juices and add more vegetables raw and steamed, this will stimulate your system to work more efficiently and in less than a month you will enjoy more energy and discover how slim you have gotten. Good Luck!

No. The Ab Lounge is the best ab machine on the market. The best part about it is that you can buy it at Wal-Mart. As for other machines, I suggest the Total Gym. I have one and it works VERY well.

I sympathize with you because I was in the same situation.All i can advice you is to go for daily walks, push-ups for the arms, sit-ups or crunches for the abdominal(stomach area)If you keep to it you'll see results in a couple of days or weeks depending your metabolism(also what you eat..watch those french-fries!)

Here's the HONEST truth about all fitness equipment. It will work if like it. If you like it you'll want to do it. If you do it, you'll want to do it right, learn to do it right, and you will see the result. That is the truth, the trick is doing it right! Whatever you chose read the manual and monitor your technique, these are the gray areas for the everyday consumer and also the biggest folly. My mother had some injuries and the ab lounger seem to offer the best way to exercise abs, some what painlessly with the exception of the abdominal region (ha ha). Be sure you like the equipment idea, have the space, and like doing it. Might I suggest an outing to fitness store or gym, just to experiment with different things before you make a purchase. Getting in shape doesn't have to be grueling, enjoy what you do, and you'll do it more, and even better because once that physical visual comes on there's no stopping! Remember to maintain, once you've reached your goal. May the force be with you!

Sounds like a plus, not a problem. You sound like you have what most guys find very attractive. I would try Pilates if you want to lengthen and slim your thighs....if you must. Or, maybe just try shopping at some different stores. Not all clothes fit the same way. You may find that another brand is a little roomier in those areas and fits you great. Good luck!\n\nI'm sorry...your body is just different than theirs. I'm sure you look great! I wish I knew a good answer for you. I am assuming that petite sizes aren't working for you either? Maybe just try a different material in your jeans/pants. Some are stretchier, so they might fit you in the waist and stretch a little where you need them too. Hope I helped. (can't believe I was the only answer you got!) Good luck! : )

it's tuff because it will take longer now that you've got major healing to do.  Make sure your body is working right and you are getting the proper nutrition.  Once you have all the right nutrients going into your body, do a little something extra in your routine like taking the stairs instead of the elevator and park your car at the far end of the parking lot and things like that to add exercizes to your day.  Squat instead of bending over to pick something up which will help you decrease your size and tone your legs.  (the more you work in the better).  Hold your tummy in because that strengthens tummy muscles.  and check out a supplement called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).  It's very wonderful at burning abdominal fat!  Good luck!

I am working with the ab wheel right now. Not one of thos wempy ones with a helper in it. Just a stick with a wheel attached. It seems to give my stomach a good work because it is sore the next, but I am sure it will take a while to see any results.

I just started using Turbo Jam and I love it.  I have been doing it for two weeks now and have lost three inches around my waiste.  I have done so many different work out videos and this one has been my absolute favorite. It works well but even more its fun and very motivational.  I definetely reccommend it.

I don't know about crunk songs, but it looks like you have been doing some crunches. Keep up the workout regimen!

Sure, treadmill will help. But if you just fat below the waist, I think it's from your body type (pear shaped,big below waistline), it's genetic and you can't change that. Measure the width between your hip bones, is it much wider than your shoulder? All you can do exercise more to keep that parts toned and tight, or reduce your overall weight and size. But the proportion won't change a lot, but the difference will be less noticeable if you're skinny.

It is going to take a long time for you to lose that pooch. \n\nYou will have to be very dedicated to various stomach exercises but there is no guarantee that your skin will  tighten back up. Your abs may get really toned but if the skin stays loose then you will always have the gut.\n\nOh and those nasty stretch marks......you own those for life....

There is no exercise that will give you a six pack fast.\n\nFirst and foremost, stay away from any ab machine you see on TV as they are simply a waste of money and barely effective.  \n\nThe abdominal muscles work just like any other muscle and have to be challenged as such. If you want muscular abdominals, you have to challenge them with resistance and good form just like you would your chest, your back or any other muscle for that matter. Targeting the correct energy system is imperative. This means you should never enter into the aerobic phase of this exercise, ideally keeping it under 2 minutes at most. \n\nThink of rolling a carpet and contracting fully on the top of the movement and squeeze. If you do them correctly, you shouldn't be able to do more than 30 crunches. Any more than that, and you're probably doing them half-azz, incorrectly or with a partial range of motion.\n\nFor the upper abs, focus on crunches which effectively work the abdominals better than sit-ups or any machine on the market.\n\nFor the lower abs, keep in mind there is very little muscle tissue there so decreasing levels of body fat is the most effective way to bring out the best in this area. Hanging leg raises, v-situps and reverse curls are among some of the best exercise for this region. Always make sure your pelvis curls up to maximize lower abdominal contraction during these exercises.\n\nAs far as fat loss and getting ripped goes, cardio, cardio, cardio. Abdominal exercises alone will never burn fat from your abdominal area.  You must do cardiovascular exercise to accomplish this.  Cardio is best in the morning, on an empty stomach at about 70-80% of your maximum heart rate for about 30-45 minutes. This combined with a common sense diet will quickly shed body fat so you can actually see those abs you've developed. \n\nI would encourage you to seek the advice and guidance of a personal trainer in your area for further education on these principles. Please ensure you start off at a very basic level for crunches and cardio if you are a beginner.\n\nHere's a good list of ab exercises:\nhttp://preventdisease.com/fitness/Strength_Exercises_abdominals.html

It depends on whether it actually is belly fat, or untrained abdominal muscles.  The former can be helped with good diet and some loss of weight, the latter crunches will solve.  Of course, both of these work only in time.  What you also have to account for is the fact that abdominal muscles are not necessarily supposed to be 'pancake flat' yet we as a society seem to be completely obsessed with it..deeming anything but that as inadequate.  Don't fall into this trap, you may naturally have a slight curve to your belly which you are unable to get rid of. \n\nSo, yes, belly fat will stay there no matter how much you do crunches..if that is all you are doing.  Make it a part of a total exercise program that increases your heart rate  and it might help reduce it over time. Your best bet though is to eat a healthy diet with fruits and vegetables in which you consume the right amount of calories and fat each day. These should help you with the problem.

give it time it will go...it's mostley fluid but make sure you don't eat too much. It's not so much the situps and ab workouts you do because that will tone your muscles and get them into shape. It's how much fat that's on the outside so just watch your weight and give it time and your tummy will go down :)
