Im a fifteen year old male. My whole body is ok exept for my stomach, i have somewhat of a potbelly. Im 5 foot 11 inches and weigh about 168 pounds. I currently run about 2 and a half miles at 7 mph on a treadmill 2-3 times a week. However, im not sure if that is the right thing to do, since i am young and don't wanna lose fat anywhere else, just my belly. I also do other exercises at the gym, such as lfting weights, etc. But the treadmill is the only cardio i do and i sweat a lot and everything. I also have a normal diet. I am not sure if the treadmill is right for my age. Should i continue what i am doing, or change to something else?

  1. The treadmill and jogging is perfect. It burns fat in the long run, however, it mostly only works out your calves and if you have the treadmill on an incline, your thighs. If you want to lose fat in the stomach area, I would advise you do do at least 150-200 crunches a day. It will gets you sore and tones your stomach a LOT. Keep up the good work, never get discouraged!  


  2. Treadmill is definitely right, because cardio will help you lose fat. But you might also want to try doing crunches to tone up, this works really good if you have an exercise ball under you. Lie with the ball resting under the lower back and place your hands behind your head or across your chest. Contract your abs to lift your torso off the ball, pulling the bottom of your ribcage down toward your hips. As you curl up, keep the ball stable. I did that for a while and it worked out pretty good. You'll most likely be pretty sore, but you'll see a difference in even two weeks if you really keep up with it.

  3. 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.
