Question Posted Thursday November 26 2009, 12:03 pm
Hey. I'm 16/f and i'm not really fat, but i'm a little bigger. i guess i have what you'd call a gut. not really big, i mean it's hideable with jeans and stuff, but i know it's there and i really want to lose it. but whatever i do like sit ups or something, it only works my abs and not the lower section where i need to lose. any suggestions? like some good workout? i already eat healthy and everything, it's just whatever workout i do never seems to help. thanks!

Its a myth that training a body part will slim it down.
So, you have two choices:
1. You can lose weight (eventually the fat will come from your problem area). For this you need a negative calorie balance. Cardio is ideal here as a form of exercise. Full body resistance training is great too.
