I have a very slim phsyique. Like my body is very slender and long. The only issue is the waist area below and around my belly button. It's like this these two bumps of fat on either side of my navel. It's weird since the rest of me is slim. I don't have any other places on my body that are fatty like my tummy. Imagine this: Skinny rib area. Skinny waist area. Then *bowm*. Fat. It really is queer looking. So I need some exercises to target this tummy area. My natural waist is fine; I just need target exercises for the low-riding jeans waist area. Thanks, LOL.
To maybe lose belly fat, you could start doing more cardio. Cardio is the one thing that always burns fat. You could go jogging, ride a bike, or even dance around your house.
After you do cardio you can work out with a stability ball (big inflatable balls you can buy anywhere like Target). Good thing about those is you can do a variety of exercises like crunches.
Diet is also key when you try to lose weight anywhere. Eat healthy foods, and avoid junk food. Yogurts, nuts,lean meats, fruit, veggies, whole grains. There are all great for you. Don't fall into the trap where you think you can work out and eat junk. And try to avoid diet soda, because it's not really healthy for you. Just drink water.

shelbyrae22 answered Wednesday December 26 2007, 3:19 pm: I have the exact same problem you have. I am very long and slender but i have a little fat on my tummy. There isn't just one certain thing you can do to fix it. If you're just doing crunches every day then stop because that wont help. If all you do is crunches and you dont add exercise and a good diet in there then all you do is build muscle on top of fat in your tummy area. Make sense? Because you're targeting your muscle but all it does is build on top of your fat and make you look even bigger. So I suggest if you do crunches then thats fine, but add some cardio and a healthy diet. i.e. running and walking every day and just eating healthy foods. I've had to do it and it worked for me and Im alot healthier. Hope it works :)
