fat tummy.
okay, so lately, i haven't really gained any weight, but my stomach seems to be bothering me.
like when i sit.. it 'bunches up'. i used to do alot of curlups, but i've been taking a break.
i just really want to lose the weight on my stomach, and i know you can't really lose weight in a specific place, but does anyone know any ways to target that area other than curlups? i need more of a way to burn the fat off, along with building muscle, more than mainly building muscle, since you wont be able to see it under fat anyways. =P

Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
Instead of doing curlups, what i do is dance. It's a fun way to strengthen the stomach muscles, without having to do a workout. Just put on some music and dance dance dance!!
hope this helps. Let me knoww!!

DO's
- Eat healthy. Fruits, veggies & meats are essential.
- Drink 8 glasses of milk a day and eat yogurt [preferably Yoplait Light & Fit]. If you're lactose intolerant like me, then eat dairy sparingly so you don't get sick.
- Drink 4 glasses of water a day.
- Cut junk food out. No more desserts, no more munchies, no more candy, no more soda & no more fast food. If you're gonna eat it, make sure you eat only a small portion & make sure you don't go completely overboard with it.
- Run alot. I'm not saying to run a mile in a day, but work your way up to it. Once you can run a mile, trying going for 2, then when you conquer 2, try 3 and so on. Don't run fast though, because you'll get tired & give up. Pace yourself.
- Join a gym. They have machines that target certain areas of the body, and if you ask a trainer, they should be able to help you out. [And if you don't wanna go alone, invite a friend along, or bring your ipod & listen to music. It'll make the time go by faster.]
DONT's
- Don't eat or exercise before bed. If you eat before bed, it's gonna be really hard to digest while sleeping since basically your whole body shuts down, and you'll just gain weight. And if you exercise before bed, your muscles won't be relaxed, so you'll be antsy & it'll be hard to fall asleep.
- When you see results, DO NOT STOP. Keep going because if you stop right then, you'll just gain all your weight back. So once this healthy lifestyle starts to suit you, don't give it up at all. For the rest of your life, because if you do everything you've worked for will just have been a big waste of time.
- Don't be discouraged if you gain weight. Muscle weighs more than fat. =)
Good luck!
