Flat stomach not!

There are many other ways of increasing strength and tone in your stomach without doing situps by using your legs and pilate type moves. People think doing lots of situps will make them lose wieght on their stomachs, this is a misconception, yes you will lose some inches, yes you will become alot stronger but you will not lose the flab on a stomach by just doing situps. You cannot also spot reduce when you lose wieght or size it usually goes from all around your body.

What you need to do is:

1. Start doing more aerobic exercise e.g walking, running, aerobics, cross trainer, rower to name a few.
2. Look at what is going in your mouth if you putting more calories in than you are burning off you will not lose any extra fat.
3. I dont agree in fat free diets or any diets but make sure that you not eating too much high sugar meals and that includes sweetners. Just try and stick to mainly savoury food that is grilled, boiled, and loads of veg and only a fist size of carbs each time you eat them e.g rice, potatoe, pasta.
   No fizzy drinks at all they are soooooooo bad for you. Squash, sparkling water are ok.
4. Reduce alcohol intake it is very fattening.

Hope this helps email if you need more advice.
