Start off with cardio first and slowly start weight training. You need to do some kind of cardio for 60 mins at least 4 times a week to start burning fat fast. During your cardio you need 1 min intervals of a "sprint" doesn't matter if you use a treadmill, elliptical, bike, or regular running. You need to push yourself hard for 1 min every 5 mins or so. You will see results. Remember weight training is very important to burning fat, the more muscle you have the more calories you burn. Do cardio be4 weight training. Need more tips just ask.Also amost forgot...crunches are a waste of time if you do not do them with weight! Abs are the strongest most durable muscle they need to be worked hard for results and lef lifts work hip abductors not abs.

If you really feel that your belly (which is healthy!) is not tight, the best way to reduce body fat is by doing cardio workouts. Even if you do crunches and such, it doesn't raise your heart rates to a high enough level to burn fat. You need to jog, do aerobics, cycling, elliptical, or even walk quickly for at least two 15 minute periods a day.Seriously though, your belly is healthy and feminine looking! To maintain yourself at a healthy weight however, I do recommend doing the cardio excercises I mentioned above!Cheers and Happy Holidays!

The best exercises to burn fat are cardiovascular, like running, dancing, or aerobics. Do an hour a day five days a week and you should see results for sure. Don't give up on your strength training though, muscle mass is great because it actually burns more calories when at rest than fat does. Good luck!
