Imagine being able to lose belly fat, so that you finally can have a flat stomach, with toned abs. Sound impossible? You've tried everything but nothing seems to work? Well, if you have been doing 150 crunches per day, and you still can't see any result, I can tell you why. You are doing it the wrong way. Sorry, but that is the truth.
Because of the way our bodies are made, you can't just target one area of your body to try to lose some weight there. Your body must be looked as a whole. You will never be able to lose that stubborn belly fat if you are only doing crunches.
Exercise
Ab exercises are great, but avoid getting into a rut. If you do millions of crunches only, your body will get used to it, and they will not be very effective. Make your exercising a bit more fun by trying something new. Some great exercises are Bicycle Crunches, V-Sit and Toe Raises. These will work your core, and will include more muscles in the exercise. This will help you burn more fat.
Something else that is important for you to know is that muscle tissue burns much more fat that other tissue. So don't be afraid of using weights in your workout. Muscle tissue will even burn fat when resting. This means your belly fat will disappear.
Set as a goal to get your heart rate going for 30 minutes per day. You don't have to go to gym to do that. You can go for a walk, always take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator. Be creative.
Your body needs balance. So if you are only working your abs, but not your back, you will break the balance of your body, and you will eventually plateau. So work all your body parts, and you will see much better results.
Dieting
If you eat lots of junk food and sweets, and drink a lot of sodas and beers, you will have your pot belly until the end of forever. Instead, educate yourself on what your body needs. There is no quick fix to a better looking body. So don't fall for any fad diets, or pills that will make you thin by tomorrow.
Make fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean meats a big part of your diet. And drink water instead of sodas. Never starve yourself, even if you are trying to lose weight.
Remember to spoil yourself. Not too often, but every now and then. It's very unlikely that you will be able to keep it up, if you constantly deny yourself anything that is nice.
You need to remember to stay patient. The midsection it the last area your body will actually lose weight. But stay determined. If you don't give up, you will soon see great results. - 15255
