A good 17-20 miles a week will definitley do it!&#92;\nMake sure you are eating healthy.. eat foods that increase your HDL levels.. I love to drink cranberry juice! HMMM!

Try the shangri-la diet, usually belly fat is the first to go.

Sit-ups and crunches along with some running will do the job...

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UNDERSTANDING THAT SIT-UPS DON'T MAKE YOUR BELLY FAT GO AWAY!!! Seriously, you just made my freakin' day, no joke. \n\nYou need a 2-front war, 1 front being exercise & the other front being diet.\n\nExercise: plenty of cardio, incorporating intervals into your cardio training. also do some strength training, as lean muscle mass supports an elevated metabolism. try doing cardio 1st thing in the morning on an empty stomach to capitalize on depleted glycogen levels so that you will burn bodyfat more efficiently. \n\nDiet: drink water like it's going out of style (at least a gallon/day). consume approx 1g of protein for every pound of bodyweight, all from healthy sources such as chicken, fish, eggs (be careful if you have high cholesterol, go for more egg whites & leave out the yolks), lowfat dairy (milk, yogurt, etc), and meat substitutes such as tofu, tempeh, seitan, and other soy-based products (hey, I'm a vegetarian so I get to do some sneaky advertising here HAHA). spread your food for the day evenly across 5-6 smaller meals; make sure you get a good dose of rapid-digesting protein (such as whey) within 20 minutes of a workout. eat plenty of fiber. focus on whole food sources for your micro & macro nutrients. I am NOT a low-carb kinda gal & you will never ever hear me endorse any crap like Atkins, but it is helpful if you taper your carbs off gradually thruout the day. green tea is also helpful, a natural thermogenic. \n\nhope this helps some; good luck! if I can help you any more feel free to send me a message.

Cardio.  the only way to get rid of a belly is cardio.  You can do all the ab exercises in the world and you'll have a nice six pack covered by fat.  If youre serious, do cardio 30 min a day, six days a week.  If youre not so motivated, make sure it's at least 3 times per week.

Yes. Another good fat-burning exercise is walking. Most people think that the more calories they burn, the more fat they lose. This depends on what type of calories you burn. If you jog, for instance, you are burning aerobic calories which will not help you lose fat as well as well as if you burned fat calories. Walking is one of the best fat-burning things you can do. (make sure that it is a fast-paced walk, though)

You are gonna get a ton of ppl saying "do situps", but SIT UPS DONT BURN FAT!!! Only cardio does. So walk, run, jog, bike, swim, etc for at LEAST 30 minutes, 5x a week if not everyday. You cant spot target fat loss, it comes off gradually everywhere.

cardio like treadmill, jogging, and biking is always good to burn the fat and train lower body. To further tighten and tone that area you should try pilates. I've heard many models and celebrities do this exercise with good result.

Try doing 150 situps and 10 crunches a day. Also run 1/2 to one mile a day. I did this and have lost 10 pounds in a couple months and my stomach looks flatter.

Run a lot. That burns fat quicker than anything else.

Crunches will make your belly look better and improve your posture. However, they won't get rid of the fat over or under the muscles. Aerobic exercise (walking, running, etc) will burn up those fat cells. Even liposuction can't get rid of all belly fat, only the fat near the surface of the lower belly. So start reducing caloric intake,huffing and puffing, and then start the crunches!

jog is the best over all excersize, tread mill if the neighbor hood is too scary to do it outside. I know of a boy who joined the cross country team in High school just to run and he really slimmed down. He didnt win but he got healthier and slimmer.

If  you have a fat stomach, the only way you can reduce your fat is by doing aerobic exercises. Losing fat around the stomach takes time. If aerobic exercises are done regularly over a period of  time, you will gradually lose weight. More details at http://www.toloseweight.org/losestomachfat.html

that depends on how much you weigh now....if you weigh more then you will probably loose more.  Running doesn't just make you loose weight though....when you are careful (stretch, warm-up, don't push yourself too hard) it can only make you healthier.

Do read what this site has to say about the individual benefits of walking and those of jogging.\n\nhttp://www.weightlossforall.com/best_exercise_lose_weight.htm\n\nFrom what I gather, it seems, starting off with walking and then gradually moving on to jogging would be better to burn off more fat.

Run whenever you want, but the question was when to run to lose the most weight... before your first meal.  You haven't taken in any carbohydrates so your body is forced to burn the fat for energy.  After your run/exercise eat and your boosted metabolism will continue to burn calories if you managed to get a true aerobic workout.
