I am a very slim but toned person, and i have an outline of a pack...but i have a bit of fat around my stomach...which stops my abs showing!! Is there any particular routine to help lose this fat. I heard from somewhere that doing more abs work will just push the fat out more!

Thank you!!!:

eat better and work your transverse abdominis! Oh yeah, drink more water daily and stop eating trans fats!

Simple?

I have a similar problem and used to do many abs exercises to lose my belly. Although I was my toning abs, my belly was getting bigger.

Eventually, I found out that you can't spot reduce a body part as fat is lost from all over the body. So, I increased my cardio and reduced my abs exercises. This has certainly made a difference.

Maybe try adding a little weight to your cardio. It may be differant because you are already in good shape but my my personal experience is to balance some weight training with the cadrio for the best results. I also read in Prevention Magazine (thought I don't know what issue or month it was because I read it in a waiting room) a very convincing article about how when training with weights the muscle your body works so much more efficiantly that eventually you muscle will burn fat in every part of your body.

i also cut and pasted the Q and A below from prevention magazine website.

question I can only commit to weights or aerobics. What should I start with?

answer: Hit the weights first. You're likely to see faster results, which will keep you motivated. Lifting weights may also naturally increase your aerobic activity. As people get stronger, they also get more active--dancing, canoeing, cycling, and doing things they haven't done in years.

In addition, there's a study found that lifting weights could improve cardiovascular fitness as much as low-intensity aerobic exercise such as walking. The more out of shape you are, the more likely that you will see improvements in your aerobic capacity as a result of lifting weights, says study author Robert S. Staron, PhD, of Ohio University in Athens.
 
Losing that belly and burning fat-questions

:confused: I need to burn fat fast and also try to lose that darn belly. So how many times a week should I do HIITS for it show real results fast? Everyday? Is 30 min enough each day or should I try to do it twice a day or is that necessary? I have tried doing it 3 times a week and then weights on the oposite days but I want more results. I watched these reality fitness shows and these folks are doing cardio an hr a day 6 days a week!
 
Watch your diet/do cardio

You need to watch your diet and burn fat calories. You stomach will get bigger with ab exercises if you aren't reducing calories at the same time because your muscles will get bigger underneath the fat.

You need to do both to get fast results. But you will lose body fat everywhere, not just your stomach.

You shouldn't do HIIT three times a week. You should do longer, steady-state cardio and low-intensity cardio too. Don't do cardio more than three times a week, unless you're adding in a little after your weight workouts. You need to lift about three times a week.

Definitely watch your calories! You will lose twice as fast by eating right.

Remember, this is a lifestyle change, and you will most likely gain everything back plus more if this is just a fast loss with no lifestyle change.

The slow and steady always wins out over the fast and sporadic. You shouldn't be losing more than 1-2 pounds a week. Chances are that you will lose less than that--.5 lbs a week. This is GOOD progress. It shouldn't happen faster than that.

An hour a day, 6 days a week is fine.

And not knowing your situation, cut out all sugary/calorie-laden beverages including soda, alcohol (only in moderation), and juices. Eat fruits instead of juice, sugar-free or water instead of soda. Beverages are THE WORST for putting on pounds, along with fast-food.

You need to let your body acclimate--make each session a little longer or harder each week, if even by a few minutes, no longer than 2 hours.
