does running help get rid of a stomach?

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
Im not sure I agree with either of the answers below. Running has a few benefits over walking. First you burn calories faster (time wise), which means that you can accomplish in 30 mins what might take well over twice that amount walking. Secondly, and probably most importantly, walking does not elevate your heart rate into the optimal training zone (except for more elderly people). That means walking does not have the same cardiovascular benefits as running.
The only advantage to walking is that you are less likely to get injured. You do not use more muscles walking.
Now, the answer to your question is yes. It can help, and exercise wise its one of the best things you can do. However, whether you actually lose fat or not depends upon what you eat (since you still require a negative calorie balance).
Since fat loss cannot be spot reduced (targetted) it is also a heck of a lot better than doing crunches.
So, you are on the right track. Just watch what you eat and you will do just fine.

It will help it a bit. But running focus' more on the legs and calves and all that.. If i was you i would do crunches =]

It does but its a known fact that power walking gives you more results then running.
Simply because you are actually using a lot more muscles while you walk!
Sit ups and things like an ab swing can also help a lot!
