Cardio

Plan at least one cardio exercise each week, such as going for a run. This is a good way to burn fat, and will also improve your general fitness! I don’t particularly like running, but I’ve found a few games of tennis has the same effect.

3

Aerobics

Aerobics Aerobic exercises are great for burning fat and toning up, so try to find one you like. Something simple like an aerobics tape is easy to fit in, but if you need more motivation, go swimming and do an aerobics in water class, or join an aerobics class with a friend.

Yoga

As cardio and aerobics will improve you generally, you might get better results if you add some area targeting yoga to your schedule. Once you’ve learnt the moves, it’ll only take you five minutes to practise them, and your stomach will be looking great in no time!

Your posture will make a big difference to how you look, so make sure you sit up straight, with your head straight. You’ll train your muscles to sit correctly, which will help you to look good!

Water

Make sure you are drinking enough water. If you aren’t getting 8 – 10 glasses a day, your body will find it hard to remove toxins, and you’ll be left finding it very hard to lose fat, and will feel very under the weather!

Belly fat is hard to lose, as the area is hard to target. Combining the above will mean you lose your belly fat, look much thinner and increase your general fitness, though, which is always a winner! Have you got a tip of losing belly fat? Please share it with me!

Thanks for the wonderful tips Kati!! I'll make sure to follow your list as summer is right at the door! :D

Does yoga actually do anything for your body? Burn calories or anything? I do it once a week and i just feel like it is something that is meant to relax you and maybe relieve some stress.

this is all well and good however what if you have severee exercise limitations I have a knee that is totally screwed up cant run jump hop or any of the areobic or fat burning exercises what do you suggest for me?

i lost 10 lbs. in 3 weeks, with little effort by three steps: 1. drink ONLY water. i aimed for 4 bottles a day. 2. go for a walk for 30 minutes, on hills! not just flat surface. 3. do a 30 min workout tape/video.

Great post! I'm gearing up for bikini season right now. If you're interested in yoga, check out 20 minute yoga podcasts on iTunes. Another great yoga/pilates podcast is "Fit for Duty." Bring on bikini season!
