Default What are good excercises for me to tone my body and lose stomach fat?

I've been trying lose weight for the longest time and I feel that nothing ever works and get sad and depressed and give up. Now I gave myself a goal to weigh 160lbs before Feb 10 but I don't know where to start or what kind of exercises to do. Can anyone out there help me? I know I can do it on my own without lipo I just need help.

Default A Great Abs Exercise

Libraguy:

As to losing fat, you'll need to focus on applying both nutritional and exercise fundamentals. Simply put, you'll need to crank up your metabolism by engaging in fat-burning exercise, while also consuming the right balance of fats, carbs and protein.

There are a number of really good exercises you can do to help tone your abs. Try this one. It's one of my favorites.

It's a challenging move, but well worth the effort. You'll need to focus on precise form though, for best results.

Step 1:
Start by sitting up with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle. Your legs should be opened, hip-width apart. Inhale slowly for a count of five. Then exhale for a count of five.

As you exhale, press your navel inward--imagine it touching the floor beneath you--and begin lowering yourself back slowly toward the floor, maintaining this curling position.
As you move back, move your arms forward so that the tips of your fingers touch your knees. Your shoulders should be back, not rounded.

Step 2:
Now, keeping your navel pressing inward toward the floor, begin to raise your right arm slowly until it reaches the level of your right ear.

Hold for two counts. Now slowly switch arms, raising your left arm to the level of your left ear, while moving the right arm downward. Hold the left arm for two counts, then switch back to your right arm. Repeat this move 4 additional times on each side, switching back and forth between your left and right arms.

As a picture is worth a thousand words, I'll provide a link where you can actually SEE how to perform this move with proper form. Here it is:

Hope this helps!
