Stomach Exercises to Eliminate Belly Fat
Now that spring seems to finally be back in our lives, many people are concerned about losing those few extra pounds of chub which stand between them and a sculpted midriff. Those folks who let themselves go a little in the winter months may be working overtime now that it is April and thoughts of bikinis are dancing in their heads. The good news is that there are, of course, stomach exercises to speed along the process. Some are better than others, including these few, which are good specifically for trimming belly fat. As with any workout routine, be sure to consult a professional before beginning and always warm up properly to avoid injury.
Hip Lift
For this stomach exercise, you will need to lie on your back on a flat surface, such as the floor. Use a mat or towel to cushion your spine. Put your arms at your sides with palms facing up to the ceiling. Put your legs straight up in the air so that the soles of your feet are facing the ceiling and your legs make about a ninety degree angle with your torso. Keep your knees unbent and as straight as possible. Now, contract your ab muscles so that it feels like your belly button is being pulled toward your spine, while at the same time gently lifting your hips off the floor. Raise your hips to height of a few inches, keeping your legs extended straight upward. Hold this position, then slowly lower your hips back to the floor. Repeat for an entire set.
Seated Torso Twist
Stay on the floor for this stomach exercise, getting into a seated position. Bend your knees so that your feet are flat on the floor. Position your feet about hip width apart. Extend your arms straight out in front of you, interlocking your fingers. Contract your abdominals and lean back about forty-five degrees. Holding the contraction, rotate your torso as far to one side as you are comfortably able. Use your abdominals to control this motion so that your upper body moves at once, do not lead with your arms. Remember to keep your arms in from of you with fingers locked– pretend you are aiming an imaginary gun. Once you have rotated as far as you feel comfortable, rotate back to center, then to the other side. Repeat these steps for an entire set. Take care to go slow and keep a controlled movement. Do not allow your momentum to twist you.

running is always the best way to excercise because it works your whole body. However no one likes to do it, and they do other things like Yoga and what not which is okay too. But besides eating a little bit healthier you also need to do some type of cardio. Even if its just jogging around the block or on a tredmill. It doesnt need to be 4 miles or anything, just consistant and progressing each time. or buy wii fit
its sick

To get rid of the belly and the double chin, you need to lose weight as fat is burnt evenly across the body, therefore if you lose weight, you lose the belly and chin. Here’s a few ideas to help you lose that weight and the chin. It usually is the small changes in life that make a big difference, here’s a few helping hints to get you on your way:
1. Firstly and most obviously, watch your food, cut out the junk food and try to eat a healthy balanced diet. Try portioning of meals, or counting calories and drink lots of water, water will make you feel fuller and give you less inclination to snack.
2. Always take the stairs, never take the lift/escalator, it will help you burn more calories and strengthen legs.
3.If you’re taking a bus, get off a stop early and walk the final section.
4. Incorporate low intensity cardio into your daily routine, even if it’s just going for a slow jog or taking a pet for a long walk in the morning and evening, low intensity cardio is the key to burning fat. As you get fitter you can increase the intensity and distance.
5. Keep busy - doing everyday chores will burn calories whilst keeping you busy.
6. Persevere - There is no easy way of losing weight, it will take time and effort, but the rewards in terms of how you feel and the health benefits are more than worth it.
Best of luck with it, if you need any more help, have a look at http://howtoburnfat.co.uk
