Okay so i'm overweight not on the brink of obesity but enough to want to lose some kilo's.
I looked up some fitness videos on youtube which have helped me become more fit and are a good way for me to excercise (especially since i cant really afford a gym membership or anything like that at this moment)
The thing is, i mostly want to lose weight from my stomach area.
I know when you start losing weight you lose it from the areas you don't want to lose it (i.e breasts) but i was wondering that apart from doing sit ups are there any other ways to help me lose weight from my stomach in particular?
And if there is any really good fitness DVD's i could check out it would be helpful along with any other helpful tips.
Thanks!

Sit-ups are actually bad for you, I hope you know this. They can pull muscles in your back and neck and actually have a reverse effect on your stomach, making it look bulkier than it is!
The apparent "wonder tool" of stomach toning is the Swiss ball, (you know, those huge inflatable rubber ones.) and there are many exercises that can be done using them. Fitness experts advise that when working out your stomach, it's good to start with the weakest areas first, like the obliques. Obliques are the muscles running from your hips up to your ribs.
Also! Try looking up reverse calorie foods. A reverse calorie food is a food your body burns more calories to digest then what the food is worth.
Hope I helped!

When you put ur hands out infront of u so that when you move up they touch ur knees is how i do my sit ups, not the way where u put ur hands behind urhead and lift half your body up, im not stupid love.
