How do i tone my belly?
Question:
Answers:
First of all just a little 411: Spot reduction doesn’t work! So doing a million sit-ups will not get rid of stomach fat. The muscles in your body don’t actually control the fat that surrounds them. You will strengthen your abs by doing sit-ups, but it will not get rid of the layer of fat on top of them.
But, if you go jogging/running and burn calories, you will decrease the amount of fat on your entire body, including your stomach! Jogging and sit-ups combined can help you get that flat stomach.
Try this: Go jogging 4 times this week for 30 minutes (you pick the pace that works for you). Then pick 3 days during the week to do 3 sets of 15 sit ups. This teamed up with a healthy diet is the key.
I left you some sources to check out. The 1st is about spot reduction; the 2nd is different sit-up exercise ideas, and the 3rd is my personal blog. I'm keeping up a health & fitness blog while I am going to school to become a personal trainer. Feel free to visit & ask me more questions. I'll be sure to get back to you. Good luck!
You are still young, the belly fat will probably go away if you are normally active. If it is in your family that the women have a little tummy, you will most likely have one too and there isn't much you can do.
