Get the gut gone??
Question: okay. summers just around the corner. and my gut is hugeee. i love wearing bikinis. i have a birth mark right under my belly button so every looks at my gut. any daily/ weekly workouts that could help me get rid of my gut?
Answers: you can't really target one area to lose weight, especially with exercise. a gut is one of the hardest things to get rid of by only working out...you will need to change your eating habits completely. if you knock out soda, sugary juices, candy, and chocolate completely, that will make a huge difference, i promise. also, limit your carbohydrates..like rice, potatoes, pasta, etc. eat more fruit and vegetables ( i know, its hard..you just need to motivate yourself)..and eat boneless skinless meat, chicken is the best. drink a lot of water as well, it'll do wonders. i hope this helps, i'm trying my hardest to take my own advice cause i need to work on my tummy as well..so good luck to both of us! :)

before i forget, also make SURE you eat breakfast everyday. it is the most important meal of the day to stay balanced. 3 meals a day is key, limit your snacks..not saying you can't have a treat once in a while (once or twice a week) but do NOT eat anything bad like chips, chocolate, or drink soda past 7 or 8 at night...the time before you go to bed is the time when your body is digesting the least amount, so you will gain weight more.
My AB Workout consists of 3 basic exercises. These exercises work on the 3 abdominal groups, worked out in the correct order to get maximum results.
1. Leg raises (Rectus Abdominis)
2. Side Crunches ( External/Internal Obliques)
3. Straight Crunches (Transverse Abdominis)
Here is how it works. You want to get up to where you are doing 3 sets of 25 reps for each exercise. But start with one set of 15, then 20, then 25. Then start with 2 sets of each, then finally 3 sets. Only allowing a 30 to 45 second break between sets.
1. Lie flat on a mat, with your hands placed at your lower back, close to your butt. Now with your legs bent slightly, and toes pointed away from your body, with legs together, lift your legs up 6 inches off the ground. Each rep consists of lifting your legs from 6 inches to 12 inches. You cannot put your legs on the ground till the set is done. Go between 6 inches, to 12 inches, and back. Each time you reach the 6 inch mark, count one rep. Each movement should be one second. One second up, one second down.
2. Lie with your back flat on the mat, your legs should be bent so that your feet are flat on the mat, about shoulder width apart. Your hands should not be behind your head, but place them under your opposite armpits, or chest. Now you curl up, not lifting your lower back off the mat, (these are crunches, not situps) Your rep consists of curling your right elbow towards your left knee, and then the other side. You do not touch your knee. One second up, one second, down. One second other side, one second down. A rep consists of both sides being done. So your rep is done when you have moved up, and down, on each side. (This one you will notice right away)
3. Lie the same way as in number 2 above, with the hands in the same position. Now this one you just curl straight up, hold for a second, then back down. Do not jerk yourself up, Curl yourself up. Each rep consists of one up, and one down. Each time you are on the mat with your back, counts as one rep.
NOTE: You can do abs every day. But I find if I rest one day a week, I reward myself for sticking with it.
GOOD LUCK, and enjoy your SIX PACK.
