Question Posted Wednesday December 28 2005, 7:56 pm
My friend got this brand new exercise machine (ab lounge?) and said she would be skinny by valentines day! I adore my friend and all, but I want to be skinner than her (selfish, but I want to be better at her in something!) My whole boddy is flab, so what is a way I can get skinny by v-day too? And how can I stick to whatever this is (btw I'm not extremely overweights, twenty pounds max, spread throughout body so its like five extra pounds everywhere). I'd love your help!! Thank you!!!

In contrast to popular belief you cannot exercise an area and lose fat in it (Otherwise known as Spot Reduction). Diet is where everything is that. You can do 100000000 crunches a day, but without diet you aren't going to see any abs. Stay a step ahead of her and get your diet down to where it is clean. Cut the junk foods and soda and eating late at night, eat often and keep a healthy attitude. YOU are the boss of your body. We're a society that is used to fast results and fast everything. Unfortunately, fitness cannot be this way and you can't say "Iam going to be skinnier than her by V-day". Take your time at losing weight, use common sense when eating and keep a good attitude. (Remember- sour attitudes and stressing causes you to hold fluid under the skin and secrete Cortisol) [ MikeCFT's advice column | Ask MikeCFT A Question ]

Oh and EXCERCISEdo push ups like 50 of them then do 50 sit ups at first you will be sore but do it untill v-day and you will look greater than you did before. Just to tell you that ive been doing it scence summer and I was a little bit on the heavy side and now I look better than before.Oh ya do SPORTS I did cross country and that helped a lot and now in the spring im going to do track so look at that.
I hoped I have helped tell me if its working out!
P.S dont tell your friend about the servings you will look beter than her in no time!lol [ BRE111992's advice column | Ask BRE111992 A Question ]

ok first i'd say to start off with crunches. try 50 a day, 5 days a week. make sure you drink a lot of water before er after your exercises too so you can keep yourself hydrated. now with the crunches, you might wanna lay on the floor er on the couch for comfort & so it doesn't hurt your back er neck. do the crunches slowly so they become more effective.
jog daily. it doesn't have to be major mile jogging er running but do a few laps per day so you can keep yourself fit. music & water go great with it.
i heard hopping loses your stomach fat. weird i know, but i watch the tyra show (UPN9) haha =) well the one model that was on the show said that hoping like a frog loses weight in your stomach because you're using your whole body.
