Answer 1

an  excellent  exercise,  you  can do it in front of your TV: sit on a

stool,  and  put  your toes under something (piece of heavy furniture,

for  example). In your hands hold a little dumbbell. Please, make sure

that  it  is  not very heavy, start with one kilo, for example, or you

will  damage  your  back and spine! Slowly move the upper part of your

body  back, until it's parallel with the ground. Stop for a second and

move it back to the sitting position. Repeat ten times. Every week add

to  the  number  of  repetitions.  You will see the results in a week,

guaranteed! You will see or feel under the fat - if you have any - six

pack  and  muscles.  Dumbbells  do  wonders.  Much  better  than these crunches  -  I  came  up to three hundreds and there was no results AT ALL. With the dumbbells you will see it in a week.

Hi,

First of all you have to eat a healthy diet to make sure your body is getting all the essential nutrients it needs. This doesn't mean go on a crappy fad diet or starve yourself!!! It means that you make sure you eat 4 or even 5 small to medium meals a day. Each meal, apart from breakfast, (preferably fibre rich with fruit) should have a combination of protien (chicken/fish/soya etc), carbohydrates (pasta/rice/potatoes/etc), and vitamins, minerals and antioxidants (fresh fruit and veg). There are many easy ways to incorporate all these into every meal. This also doesn't mean you can never have pizza/takeaway/chocolate/etc, just save them for the occassional treat.

Secondly you need to EXCERCISE. Cardio excercise is anything that will get you out of breath, your heart rate pumping and you sweating (running, swimming, cycling, etc) and is necessary for burning calories, shedding body fat and improving your overall fitness levels. This alone will help you make sure you can keep your curves that you will get through other training whilst maintaining your body fat levels at healthy levels. Strength training basicaly improves the muscles and tones your body, this comes from weight training, core training (sit ups/planks/etc), stretching (such as yoga) and dynamic training. This is necessary to keep your body strong and supple and will also help you lose weight and tone up. I would reccomend training your whole body to get balance, but if you want to concentrate a little more on your stomach, this means doing lots of sit ups and crunches (for the upper half of the frontal ab wall) and lots of leg raises with your back flat on the floor (for the lower half of your frontal ab wall), then lots of side twists (for your side obliques). Also do lots of lower back excercises and stretches to balance out your torso.

This is only an extremely brief overview, but both of these are necessary to lose weight healthily, keep it off, and have a strong healthy body.

Answer 3

Do more excersises (situps for tummy, crunches for muffin tops), but eat slightly more to compensate for the extra calories burned.

Answer 4

Answer 5

I'm exactly the same height and weight as you! :O

If you want to tone up your stomach, the best thing is sit ups, and also work on your posture if you don't already do this, but it's good to keep your stomach muscles tight (not holding in your stomach, but not relaxing it either). My sister does dance at a school who are very strict in posture, and is always telling me to do this.

Answer 7

You cant, you will need to go on some sort of diet and it doesn't have to be extreme like eating cabbage soup 3 times a day, just have a balanced diet with a couple of treats thrown in, if you eat to many fatty foods then you only have to work harder to burn it all off, if you have a healthier diet you should notice an improvement quicker.  Doing sit ups on a flabby stomach will do nothing, you may feel muscle tone underneath but it wont get rid of fat, you need to do cardio training I:E Jogging, or join a gym where they will have more cardio equipment. If you are with a gymnget a personal trainer to do you fittness plan, tell him/her you wanna tone up but not loose to much weight, they should be able to come up with something.

Answer 8

you could do some sit ups or crunches. this will just tone up your stomach. (:
