Certified Fitness TrainerThe plank exercise is fantastic for strengthening the entire abdominal region, especially the muscles that keep our tummy flat. However, there is no abdominal exercise that will get rid of fat around the waistline, so reduce your calorie intake to create the calorie deficit mentioned in the article here. High intensity interval training will burn the most amount of calories for the time it takes. -

Certified Fitness TrainerFirst of all, see a doctor and take the appropriate medication to control exercise-induced asthma symptoms. Once the asthma is under control, you'll enjoy exercise much more. A flat stomach has more to do with what and how much you eat, than it has to do with exercise. If you have a fat layer around your middle, calorie reduction is the only way to lose the fat. Abdominal exercises can't hide or get rid of tummy fat. -

QuestionWhat are good ways other than running to lose fat around belly and legs?
Tom De BackerTop AnswererExercise burns fat, but exercising your legs does not mean you burn only leg fat. Our body stores fat as an energy reserve, it does so first around the waist. When it needs energy, it takes it from the waist only if all other reserves are depleted. Granted, the leg muscles are perhaps the easiest to work out, but an all-body conditioning workout remains the best. Finally, one more point. Our body stores fat when it panics. Hunger makes it panic, and the body thinks "oh my god there's no food we're going to die!" Its reaction is to store fat. So one of the key elements is to eat often. Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. But eat and snack healthy, obviously. -
