Sit Up.

Try an Ab workout. Stomach chrunches, sit ups, etc. I bought an ab machine for less than 100 bucks. Works great. Been using it for two months now. Started feeling and seeing results within first two weeks.

everybody has ssomething to say about losing weight and toning up.it's all likely to confuse. my philosophy is simple. this covers a seven day schedule. Day 1: eat 1 apple. Day 2: eat 1 apricot . Day 3: eat a plum. Day 4: eat a grape. Day 5: a couple of Skittles. Day 6: a couple nuts. On the last day: eat 2 chocolate cream pies with 2-3 full cans of Rhedi Whip. then purge. I can assure you, that your looks will be the least of your worries.

If weight loss is what you're looking for then here's what you need. The best combination for weight loss is calorie restriction, resistance training, and aerobic work. Let's start with calorie restriction. Over the years I have had personal training clients as well as athletes come to me wondering why they are not losing weight. They tell me they eat right, exercise right, say their prayers, eat their vitamins, etc., and they just can't seem to lose weight. Well, most of the time, once I really get to know them, I find that nutrition is the culprit. You need to know what you're eating. Most of the people I'm talking about all thought they did.

How do you change this? Well, it may sound tough, but it's not that bad. You need to keep track of what you eat for 2 days over the week, and 1 day over the weekend. Next, go to you're local book store. You can find charts, books, and computer programs that will help you analyze the foods you ate. Another suggestion would be to take your dietary recall to a nutritionist or exercise physiologist at your local college and let them find it for you.

These recalls will tell you how many calories you're getting plus where they are coming from. For example, are they coming from protein, carbohydrate, or fat. It will help you see where you stand nutritionally.

Next, you need to get on a good strength program. When a person is losing weight, the weight comes from fat, as well as muscle. That's kind of an unfortunate thing because muscle is an important thing when keeping metabolism high. There is enough research out there to safely say that when going through a phase of high intensity aerobic work and calorie restriction, strength training decreases muscle wasting. So, in short, strength-train. It's important. I wouldn't strength-train for anymore that 20 to 30 minutes. You can get what you need in a short period of time.

After the strength training, it's time to get on the bike, treadmill, stepper, track, whatever. Keep your workouts to 30 minutes and up in order to burn the calories. Train between 3 to 5 times per week. Keep your heart rate at 60 to 90% of heart rate max.

Don't look at losing weight as some mysterious monster that you can't get the reins on. Look at it as nothing more than stored energy. That's what fat is?stored energy. If you had a tank full of energy and it kept filling up higher and higher, what would you do to keep your tank from growing too large from the excess energy? Well, burn some of the energy off. That's what you need to do to lose weight. Keep the "energy in" lower than the "energy out" and abracadabra, you're losing weight.

Note: You need to change your routine every 2-3 weeks in order to get the best results.

Before you tone your abs, asking yourself this: Am I going to be serious about it? There is no simple fix to flatten your stomach in days or weeks. It can take up to a long-term commitment to see a positive result, depending on your level of fitness. Watch your eating habits are just as critical as toning your stomach. Commit yourself in an executed crunches, aerobic exercise, and cardiovascular exercise as part of your workout routine. It is imperative to keep your belly contracted when performing these exercises at all times! I wish you the best.

do all different types of crunches everyday, for about 15 minutes, and I guarentee you will see a difference after about a month.
