What can I do to lose weight in my stomach?

This is a question I get asked all the time, all of my clients say they do all these crunches and sit ups yet the belly just won't go away. Well unfortunately you can do all the sit ups you want but it will not change the appearance of the stomach. The body is a great machine and will do what it needs and wants based on how you treat it, and sometimes that means storing fat where you may not like or want, and for most that is the midsection. The way to lose belly fat is with cardiovascular exercise first; then incorporating a strength workout, and healthy eating plan. Without doing these things the belly will not show muscle definition. You need to start off doing 30-40 minutes of cardio more days then not, followed by some basic large muscle combination type strength work (squat press). Then the food plan: stop eating white products, eat more fruits and vegetables, drink fluids, and get more omega 3 good fats. Don't use the exercise as means to eat more use it as a way to DO more, and have longer lasting energy.

If you make a commitment to do those things you will start to see that midsection shrink, and the 2 pack, 4 pack, 6 pack, whatever it is you want start to show in no time.
