What’s the best way to lose weight off my stomach?

1

I’m quite insecure about my stomach. I wouldn’t say I’m obese but I think I’m a little on the fat side and I could lose a little weight. It would make me feel more secure in myself. I think I have a pear like body shape, I just want to lose a bit of weight and tone up a bit, I’m 5’3 so I’m not expecting a flat stomach. Any tips?

You are not fat. Your weight is fine, but if you must know, you can go running and do sit ups to solve this 'problem'!Our body needs fat reserves at the end of the day, its a natural and healthy thing. Obesity is a different story though, that can be life threatening.

lay flat on your back, with your hands by your side (not under your butt) and do leg lifts. Keep your knee straight and your feet should go up to anywhere from 90 degrees, to being parallel with your eyes. Also, don't rest your legs on the ground between reps, keep them elevated roughly around 6 inches. This will help with the lower stomach.
For your sides, either do crunches on your side, or lying on your back, with feet flat on ground (obviously knees are bent)try to reach your hand to meet your ankle on the opposite side through the gap between your butt and feet. Meaning, take your right hand and try to reach your left ankle, and vise versa. The only movement you make is your waist. It's hard to explain, but i hope that helped!!

Well, many don't believe it but it really starts with your diet. The foods you eat will regulate how fast your metabolism is and then that's when excercise comes into play. It should all fall together, the excercises that really focus on the abdominal area would be crunches, sit ups, and also running is always one of the best options out there. Even just walking everyday can help.

You can't spot reduce. This means that to loose any fat from your stomach, you would have to eat well and mix cardio + strengh exercises. Stomach is a 'problematic' area for many, as it is hard to lose fat from that part of the body especially if you are a woman. You can do it though! Good luck :).

Start small. Don't overdo the exercise at the start otherwise it will become a chore. If you want to do some cardio, such as going for a run, and you haven't run much before then it's best to start with a few minutes of jogging with a few minutes of walking in between. Gradually walk less and run more. When combined with a core strength session and healthy eating this can be very effective to tone up and lose weight :)

Eat clean, drink water and get enough exercise. Running will help you loose weight, lifting weights helps you tone. No sugary drinks/foods. Try the 30 day shred aswell. If you're struggling for motivation, try becoming a fitblr (tumblr blog all about fitness, motivation, encouragement etc)

try not to eat much of anything, do not keep eating, you should have got proper meal times. breakfast should be very rich in content, i don't mean a lot of bread and chips. You know just the healthy stuff. along with clean eating, you should do sports regularly. I am doing slim in 6 and it's really working. and remember you can't only lose weight on your belly to be toned up, you should work out your whole body. you can really try belly dance cardio as well.

Just exercise and eat healthy...and be patient. Lower your portions and have little healthy snacks and drink plenty of water! You could go on walks everyday or do sit-ups. This youtuber named "Blogilates" is really great with 10-15 minute workouts that get you burning calories and stuff(: She's really helped me a lot

I'd advise sit-ups or running. Don't push yourself, start out slowly and build up your stamina. Also, don't doubt yourself. I don't know what level your self esteem is at, but either way, you're still beautiful.

Hello there! Excising is obviously the best way to lose weight of course. However, if you are like me and loath working out, dieting is imperative. It can be small things that can help with belly fat and bloating. For example, cut out any type of soda or carbonated drinks. I know it is tough but trust me, it helps a lot. I replaced my soda intake with water with a lemon slice in it. After a while, your body gets used to the taste. Also, cut out any type of artificial sweets and fast foods. It's a hard cycle to begin but once you're on it, it gets easier. Good luck love. :D
