Other Than Situps, What Could I Do to Lose 10 Pounds of Belly Fat?

I need help too!! There are excising videos that are supposed to be designed to help you lose belly fat. I've got one but I never use it :( I am tired 99% of the time and I never have the energy to do a 10 min exercise. It's sad. Anyway in case you want to try them out : 10 Minute Solution: Blast Off Belly Fat (2007) with Suzanne Bowen. It's got several 10 min videos. I like it but I didn't use it enough to see if it actually worked :( I need to get on it though. I really hate my pot belly.

It appears that you are doing plenty of exercise but without the desired results. Are you keeping a check on your diet too? If not, please check that also, restricting your diet (i.e. not consuming products containing fat etc.) might help you achieve your target. Best of Luck!

Sit ups won't get rid of belly fat. Sit ups help build and tone the muscle in your abdomen. Contrary to popular belief, fat and muscle are two different types of tissue. Fat does not "become" muscle. The only way to lose fat is to adopt some sort of cardio in addition to whatever strength training you might like, and to eat a healthy diet. Also, you can't spot reduce. It's impossible. When you lose weight, you lose all over your body. There are going to be some areas that are more difficult, obviously. The amount of fat in that particular area is a factor, as is genetics. Is the belly the first place you gain? If so, that'll likely be the last place you lose, because there are more layers of fat there.

Many says, we lessen our intake of carbo and walk a mile everyday. I also used to have a big belly since i gave birth a for thrice already. What I did was I exercise daily, take food in portion, drink a lot of water and stop catching a nap. I am now on my ideal weight for myself.

I was told tat if you do sit ups without the pyshical exercise then the belly fat will stay so now I have a small trampoline and bounce on that for a while a day - also when it's sunny and my husband is off work at the same time as me we go out and play a few games of bat and ball - these both help to get rid of the belly!

Hi Pigglies, Do you know what's Hula Hoop? As to me,doing Hula Hoop Dance helps me a lot to the belly fat.But playing Hula Hoop needs patient,as you need to do it everyday and you'd better do it at least half an hour a day. And the big Hula Hoop can be more useful than the small one. Just have a try,if you have interested in it. As I know from my friends,belly fat may be caused by the body health problem,so I also suggest you to have a whole body check. Hope that will help you. Happy to myLot, Janice

Have you tried aerobics or any other specialist exercises. I'm not sure I can describe it here as you really need to see a diagram or someone doing it on the screen, but there are some great exercises for strengthing your abdominal muscles and I am sure this would tone up your belly if you did them regularly. I would think swimming would be very good all round exercise for toning, and of course eating a heathly, low-fat diet.

hi. how are you? i would suggest that u seek a personal trainer. he or she can help u get on a diet plan that will help u shed the pounds u are looking to get rid. u can learn how to keep in shape, and eat healthy.

Hey pigglie, I know how your feeling with the belly fat because after having kids and seeing that this mass of glob stuck to my belly was still there made me feel like someone from the movie Aliens, I cant stop cringing when I touch it. Well, I am so happy because FINALLY I have found something that has worked on my belly! See, I have gotten my gym membership the beginning of summer and immediately gravitated to the elliptical machine and did swimming laps a hour at a time four times a week and while I was losing weight it still didnt seem to work like I wanted it to on myt belly, now any cardio will eventually eliminate fat (given you eat a sensible diet), but it wasn't until just recently when I finally felt confident enough to start running again that my belly has just been shrinking! For two weeks I have been running for an hour three times a week and I love it because its toning up my arms too, another part that has grown since having kids (i dont blame my kids, just the comfort foods you get comfortable with during pregnancy). I am so happy, I used to run every day before kids and after kids I just felt so alien to myself after my second and running again has been the key. I knew it a long time ago, thats what I needed to do, because I did lose alot of weight before my kids from running but I was just so embarassed to because I felt like I had been out of the game and thats why all thats why all that elliptical time and other time in the gym was so useful because now I am comfortable and feel as if I have a fighting chance--I kept all my jeans and clothes I bought new and still havent been able to wear (I was a little over confident after giving birth) but now Im fitting back in a couple pairs, size 9 but what Im aiming for is my size 7's, I think its a blessed number. I know so many people think running as the very last option but it is like a fat blaster and even a slow jog is effective, especially if you have gained more than 20 pounds. A lot of people at the gym will do a jog and then walk and back to a jog and that is just as effective because intervals are said to work even better because your challenging your heart rate to push harder and then resting and doing it again gets your body working a little harder, I like Kathy Smiths interval workouts--i love her!

Hey pigglies, I have the same problem! That evil belly fat! I have also tried ab rolling it off. I have tried exercise biking it off. I have tried walking, stepping, you name it. I just can't get rid of it. When I do lose overall weight some of it does come off but then I start to look to skinny in the wrong places. I swear there's no winning. I hate to exercise so who am I kidding. I just keep trying and hoping that somehow I'll lose the damn belly! Now I'm back to trying the diet thing again. I've changed my diet so I'm hoping that works along with the ab roller. To be continued...
