Question:
would cardio be good?
Answers:
Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

drink water, do sit ups
Cardio is going to allow you to burn fat all over your body, allowing what muscle you have to show, so it's pretty much a requirement.
Best thing you can do is a good diet (and I don't mean one of those avoidance diets, just eat the "bad" stuff in moderation) and exercise. If you want to target your tummy then crunches would be the best thing for that.
buy an ab roller at wal mart. they are only about ten dollars. eat alot of grilled chicken with just mayo. no bun.
Carbs and especially refined sugars are bad.
Cardio is good. especially swimming+running.
Sit ups and crunches are good as well. it depends on the shape you want.
The best way to get the body you want is to do the exercise of the people who have that body.
Runners do not have fat around the midsection.
Dancers usually have good abs as well. However, diet and consistency are the key. It will take at least 6 months to see real improvement.
No luck, good habits!
Do as Fado said above! Crunches are very good for a toned tummy. Don't do bad Diets. Eat alot of meats and drink a lot of water. A good diet is just plain out eating healthy!
