The only way to lose fat around your middle is diet and cardio workouts---specific exercises to target trouble spots will not work here---take long walks and graduate to running if you can, or get some good cardio CDs and do it at home OR join a good gym. I have posted this link in another thread---a great exercise link, no sign up required and no fee--mini videos of the exercises: GOOD LUCK!!!

Hi Cellaboo09,

Stomach crunches.........lots of em. seeya. Luv, Viv.

Try Pilates. This concentrates on the core muscles beneath your abdominals. It tones and firms muscle without building bulk. Sit-ups and crunches are also good, especially if you also throw in some twists to focus on the side muscles which will help narrow your waist.

The only way to burn fat though is through aerobic exercise. Dancing is great for that, so is aerobics. Look at it this way, you want to get fit like a woman, the best exercise is doing what women do to keep fit. I'm a real gym bunny and love my aerobics, apart from getting envious of the gorgeous outfits some of the other girls wear. Alternatively, walking is great, if you do it at a high pace. That might tone your bum, but you will lose pounds

You can't specifically lose weight from any area, your body doesn't work like that, when you body needs more energy than you're eating either through dieting or exercise or both, then it will burn some of your stored fat, where it takes it from first, and where it is deposited are down to a combination of hormones and genetics.

If you tone your abdominal muscles, your stomach will appear flatter and the more tight, - i.e. less flabby, you won't loose much weight doing this because it's not very high impact exercise. If you want to loose some weight, then aerobics, or just walking, walking is good because it will tone your leg muscles a bit but won't really cause you to build much muscle. if you're full of testosterone then you're probably going to loose weight from your thighs and arms first, from your chest, and maybe some from your butt, tho gentic guys don't tend to pack too much on back there to begin with anyway, unless you're getting pretty big. and you will also easily build muscle (some muscle is good since it raises your base calorie burn rate) if you're full of estrogen, then you're more likely to loose it from your stomach first, and then i think it would be hips and your bum, but i'm not 100% sure on that. it's different for everybody anyway, it's much harder to build any muscle without T however.

If you aren't on HRT yet, then even if you end up looking a little more "ripped" than you'd like, the fat redistribution from the E when you start ought to smooth it out a little. And it will go back on your butt and help fill you out.

You will tune muscle ding any excerise- you will only build it through resistance training.

Your diet will depend what muscles you will see or won't see.

Anyone with a flat stomache has toned their muscles up so much they hold everything in.

This is more of a diet concern b/c you can already have a fairly flat stomach and it not appear so b/c of the kinds of foods you take in.

Please note starving yourself in any way dose not help one lose wieght- contrary you'll hold onto it longer.

You should talk to your doctor about modifying your diet and any core exercise done in more repetitions will tone.

If you build large muscle easily you might want to do even more reps (less reps= more size)

crunches also don't have to be done on the floor- ignore people who say you can get a flat stomach without cruches- they're still doing them just not flat on their backs. Any movement where you bend at the waist is typically a crunch of one form or another!

Hope this helps!

Any diet exercise plan worth doing will take a couple months or more before you see those "dramatic" results!

I would also like to add that to keep the *budunkadunk* you may wish to employ booty exercises. Basically anything that would make you hate stairs.

I recommend Yoga. There are a lot of poses in Yoga that will trim various parts of the body, so can be adapted to concentrate on certain areas. Yoga will improve balance and strength, without developing bulging muscles. Done right, privately, perhaps in the peace and quiet of the night, can be very relaxing and calming. I had all those benefits some 30 + years ago when I did Yoga for 30-45 minutes a day, 5 or 6 days a week. I got lazy, and I got busy, and I stopped Yoga. The second biggest mistake in my life (being born male the first). I have recently started walking, and have taken Yoga back up as well. I already feel better, and I think I am looking better too. Improving the diet is also extremely important.

I just was thinking about my past. When I was taking care of myself, I was also in a place where Susan could flourish. When she was not flourishing, I stopped taking care of myself because, while not suicidal, I was certainly a bit self destructive and didn't care about it as much.

Sorry about the hijack-in-progress here. Look into Yoga.
