How can I get rid of the fat on my stomach and my lovehandles? I do crunches, but it only seems to work on my upper abs, and I still have the lower belly fat. Is there any way I can get rid of this and get flat abs and no lovehandles?

Also, I'll tell you now that if you are trying to have visible abs, abdominal exercise alone wont cut it (except in exceptional cases). More than likely you will have to do some serious cardio in order to burn enough calories that you reduce the layer of fat over your abs enough to make them visible. Basically there are 3 general types of ab exercises that I know of: upper, lower, and oblique. I'd recommend doing some of all 3. [ Erronius's advice column | Ask Erronius A Question ]

Do you exercise daily? (Ex. running, walking, biking?) If not, I think this could really help in bringing your weight down. What are you eating in your diet? If you eat junk food such as fast food, chips, and soda! When i wanted to lose a few pounds, I stopped drinking soda, I lost a total of close to 20 pounds. Hope this was helpful. Feel feel to message me with any other questions. [ Trevor-Wolf's advice column | Ask Trevor-Wolf A Question ]
