Exercises that target stomach fat - Weight Loss Message Board

Does anyone know of any? I've been doing the Firm Cardio Sculpt 3-4 times a week and riding my stationary bicycle for 20-30 min. 2-3 times a week.
I've lost 8 lbs. but haven't noticed any difference in my stomach (and I am on a good eating plan too). I'm in my 4th week of doing this.

Btw I'm 132 lbs. and have like a 30-31" waist (yuk!)

So can anyone please tell me any exercises for stomach fat? I'd be willing to try it

Its weird, i never thought this would affect my stomach, but lately me and my boyfriend have been walking alot and i noticed my stomach was getting flatter! im not positive its because of that, but it seemed to be getting flatter as i keep walking! so idk..i guess you could try!!!

stand up straight. sounds silly but makes a big difference, and breathe deeply. when exercising make sure you have good posture and are breathing right also.
so while doing your exercises..check out your posture and breathing..and if it is good and still not losing, maybe add some walking.

Thanks.

I have thought about running/walking, I think it might help me more than my bicycle.

It's very inconcvenient for me to find the time to walk/run on the track), and I don't even wanna know where my treadmill is right now.... but it looks like I'll be dragging out the treadmill this weekend!

There aren't any exercises that will burn fat only from your stomach, but you can shed fat all over with cardio. Toning up your muscles will also make your abdomen smaller. I do crunches, reverse crunches, bicycle crunches and roll on the floor with a wheel, and my tummy is pretty flat. Remember to suck in your tummy, or you'll be making your tummy bigger.
