I am 5’8″ and used to weigh a healthy 11 stone.I now weigh just over 13 stone but most of my weight is on my stomach to the point where I look 5 months pregnant! Im going to start eating healthily and exercising more but is there a specific exercise that is by far the best for the stomach or will this fat never go ? Im almost 30 by the way

well first, crunches and sit ups may cause you to have a bigger somach as you build up muscle through doing them. (this is what people usually think of when they want a flat stomach)
FAT IS NOT TURNED TO MUSCLE. so you tend to build muscle beneath the layer of fat on your tummy and it may appear larger than before.
THIS IS WHY CARDIO IS IMPORTANT – IT BURNS THE FAT!
just do running/jogging/biking/swimming/skipping for 20 mins to start with, then gradually move up to 30, then 40 and so on.
(bear in mind that you have to change your workout routine after a while, because if you don’t you will keep on using the same muscle groups and will build muscleinstead of burning fat; therefore your workouts should be challenging – like different lengths of time and different intensities and try to do varied exercises to engage all muscle groups)
Try HULA HOOPING – ‘the cardio for abdominals’!!
it’s not that hard to learn and it burns lots using all different abdominal muscles
The results can be better than you believe – do it for just 10 minutes a day and you can lose as much as 100 calories. And this will mean that you can shed up to 2 inches from the waist in just 30 days.
you can also do pilates as they strengthen your muscles
or try “belly waving” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li8NArR5M…
it aids the intestines to move food in your body – speeding up metabolism
SIMPLE CHANGES ALONGSIDE WORKOUTS AND TRAINING:
substitute – walk or bike instead of taking a car/bus
take the stairs instead of a lift – run up
take the longer path instead short cut
take with you additional weight like books or a big bottle of water
water – drink at least 2 litres of it /day. It prevents dehydration therefeore water isn’t stored in your body (bloating stomach and places around ankles and all that lot), + it detoxifines the body and therefore helps to speed up metabolism
a natural way is also green tea – it boosts up metabolism in a natural way (5-6 cups a day burns off additional 70-80 calories)
eat plenty of fibre rich foods as they aid the movement of your intestines therefore speed up metabolism
and last but not least – a healthy balanced diet a you mentioned. lean protein, fruit, veggies- at least 5 a day (keep doc away), fish, nuts; also ditch snacks like sweets, chocolate, haribo, marshmallows, ice-cream, chips, crisps, fried foods, sodas, fizzy drinks, don’t eat take aways, avoid high salt foods,
small portions, but eat 6 times a day and you’ll be fine
I tried a number of different toning excersizes over the years – and none of them ever stuck, no matter how hard i tried to get in to a routine. Lets face it… doing situps (which is probably the best stomach excersise) is just not interesting!!
I think that in order to get fit and maintain a toned body – you really need to think about what you would enjoy, and then join a club. This will keep you involved in the activity and also is most likely to be just a fraction of the cost of a gym.
Personally i started with swimming, but i did not find it social enough.
Now i do Persian dancing when ever i can (gives a full body work out)
And am an avid climber (indoor wall!)
Climbing is really great for your entire body – and will not take long to get a toned stomach. Plus it is very addictive and also very social.
You do not need to be strong to start climbing – i had no prior training and you can hire the shoes from most places.
You cant actually target an area to get rid of fat, your body decides for you. No matter how many sit ups you do you wont get rid of the abdominal fat. So basically exercise and changing what you eat is the only way to do it
this may help a bit http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What's_the_eas…
But really as long as you exercise and burn more calories than you take in then your bound to lose weight. Another thing is that 3500 Calories = 1 pound of fat.
try the little jack workout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKCGe2Ezr… it works wonders
run
