Yes, it can help you lose weight.  That is only if you do fast paced movements repeatedly to get the blood flowing.\nIt helps tone your body more than help you lose weight.  Since belly dancing shows you how to isolate parts of your body from the rest, it works each muscle seperately(back, upper ab, lower ab, etc.)  It also helps shape your buns and thighs.  I highly recommend it and be serious about it when you dance.  Listen to your body and feel the movements, that way you know you're doing it right and you'll see results if you keep at it.

Unfortunately you can't target fat loss, exercise and a sensible diet will help you lose the belly fat but you will also lose the fat on your hips and butt.  If you wanted a bit more shape in upper leg area then I'd recommend weight training (squats are an excellent exercise).

You could. Swimming burns a lot of calories as compared to other exercises. As long as the number of calories you burn is more than the number you consume, you will lose weight. So swimming is a good start. Good exercise and eating right will help with losing weight.

abs exercises is great for that. crunches, sit ups, are the most popular exercises to get smaller waist,,,but hey for those girls out there, belly dancing is nice too, great workout for the abs as well as great as stress buster too. everybody can enjoy the dance and at the same time, it really burns tummy fats.

Like a sauna belt?  Those things don't work.  To lose weight, you'll need to eat less and exercise more.

Yes, it helps you break out with pimples and speeds up your heart rate so that you will become irritable.  Does this help you lose weight?  Sure, but is it safe?  Not really.\n\nTheir is no short cuts to losing weight if you want to keep it off.  Eating a balanced low calorie diet and getting plenty of exercise is the only guarantee way to lose weight.

It is easier for men to lose the fat on their stomachs then woman. try to incorporate jogging into the walking. Defiantly do weight training and start doing Ab exercises they will help tremendously. But running and jogging will help burn up those calories. And if you have a bad diet start changing that to you will then have less calories to burn and then the exercise you do will help focus on the stored fat on your body.

Sit ups, crunches, leg lifts and other ab excercises will help you tone the muscles in your stomach area but they won't help you lose very much weight. To lose weight you need to do Cardio. Swimming, running, cycling and cross crountry skiing are all great ways to shed some pounds. And remember you need to get your heart rate up above a certain level for a period of time (usually at least 20 minutes) for it to be effective. If you're serious about it you should join a gym and talk to a physical trainer, not only will you be in better shape but you'll feel better too.

Well, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that you can lose your tummy flab and become more toned. The bad news is that, in order to do this, you must reduce the amount of fat you have all over your body, not just in your stomach. You see, spot reduction, or the ability to lose fat in one specific area, is a myth. However, you can help tone specific regions through exercise.

Lunges for the booty. And to lose the weight you just need to minimise carbohydrates, pop, rice, bread and potatoes need to be avoided. Keep exercising and you will shape up scorching

yes swimming is a great way to lose weight. its a cardio work out which is one of the quickest ways to lose, and it builds muscle tone at the same time.

Walking works very well for me. It's easy to do, and it utilizes all body parts. Another fun thing to do is have some friends over, and put some upbeat music on, and all of you exercise together. It's not only fun, but healthy. Believe it or not, I lost 17 lbs. in 2 weeks by just doing the Cha Cha Slide with my daughters every day, a few years ago. It was really fun, and I didn't think about how boring and exhausting exercise could be.

It depends. If you're severely overweight and you need to lose weight for medical reasons, yes. But if you just wanna lose 5-10 lbs. or just care about the way you look, just changing certain parts of your lifestyle (like diet, exercise, etc.) should do the trick.

Not going to happen.  You'll only lose water weight and it can make you sick.  There's no way to lose weight from specific body parts, you have to do cardio to help shed pounds all over and then toning exercises to develop and tighten the muscles in your stomach and legs.  It usually takes about a month to start seeing results.  If you have some event you're going to and want to look sleek, try one of those body shapers.  They are an easy way to reduce bulges in all the wrong places.  It's almost like losing weight in five minutes!

There is no such thing as spot-reduction when it comes to losing weight.  It is a myth, and don't believe anyone telling you otherwise.  If you are going to lose weight on your legs, you will lose it everywhere else also.  That said, running is probably the best exercise because along with losing weight you will be building the muscles in your legs and core (lower abs and back) which will give you a healthier, and slimmer, appearance.
