| History: I've always been big since i was about 8-9 years old. When I was a Senior in HS i decided to lose weight, I got a private personal trainer and I went from 250 to 195 in about 6 months. I then I knew enought to go on my own so i went to 24 hour fitness.Since then I've bascally been up and down, Ive gone back up and back down, finally I was at 215 and saw i was going back to what i used to be and started up again .Now Im at 193 from 215 and im at 40 1/2 waist (Im 5'11 btw)I can tell my stomach is a lot smaller but I've been really trying to focus on my abs but its seems i usally do a lot of my upper abs and sides which is OK but its my lower abs were fats at it seems its really not going away. I also alternate doing biceps, triceps, back, shoulders, legs etc. Everything is showing definition, but when it comes to my abs theres still a big bloob there.Not that its not better cuz it is but what would be some good excersises that I can make my stomach flat? |

| You can't spot reduce. Losing weight is an all over body experience.You need to do lots of cardio to burn the fat and eat properly. That's the only way to lose that last little bit around your belly. |

| Don't do just basic situps because it builds muscle under the fat. the best thing I've ever found are throw downs. lay down on your back put your feet in the air. have somebody stand above you so your head is between the air. have them throw down your legs as hard as they can and you don't let your feet touch the ground. bring your legs back up and start again. hard and make your stomach muscles burn. but, they work! hope this helps. good luck!! |

| First of all, congratulations on your weight loss!I suggest eating lots of protein, fish especially!Also drink lots of water! That stops bloating and helps clean your system.As for exercise I suggest running, tennis, swimming or any other heavy cardio activities, that will get rid of the jiggle then start adding in some crutches to firm up.Also stay motivated! |

| no such thing as the lower abdominals. muscles either contract as a whole or not at all. this is exactly why you can't target part of a muscle.weight gain and weight loss starts and ends with the abdominals. to "see" the lower portion of the rectus abdominis (RA) with out flexing you need to have much lower than average levels of body fat and this is accomplished by manipulating the diet. great abs are made in the kitchen not in the gym.with a 40" waist at only 215 lbs you need to work on reducing your body fat to see your abs |

| What I haven't read in your question is anything pertaining to your eating habits. While it's a great thing to exercise, it's even better to exercise "correctly" while eating the "correct" foods for what you're trying to achieve.The best exercises that I've found that will give you an excellent chance for getting a lean, chiseled body are found within a program that has done wonders for me: http://www.yoursmilingchef.com/six-pack-... Surprisingly to most, the majority of the most effective exercises for stomach fat loss are NOT "abs-specific" exercises. Not only that, but you'll learn how to combine and sequence them to get the best metabolic and fat loss results possible, changing the shape of your entire body.Good luck to you and have a great holiday! |
