Answer 1

cardio is a great way to loose weight, but make sure you hydrate, or the weight you loose will be water weight, and you will gain it right back. the mid section for toneing is easily done by doing a few sets of the following exersizes

inns and outs

flutter kicks

hello dollies

bicycle crunches

leg lifts

inverse crunches

inverted crunches

regular crunches or situps

oblique crunches (for the love handles)

steam engines

cardio, jogging, jumping jacks,

8 count body builders

you can see diagrams of most of these on google. i am a military fitness advisor. i have to keep 150 seabees in shape on a weekly basis, and boy do they love to drink, so it is a challenge to burn that beer drinking mid section, but this works great. need any thing else just let me know
