What Exercises Can Get Rid of Tummy Fat?
"The Healthy Geezer" responses questions about health and aging in his weekly column.

Question: What kind of exercise should I do to get rid of this big gut I'm carrying around?

Answer: Exercise alone will not do the job. Strengthening belly muscles can help you look tighter and thinner. But location exercises won't banish tummy fat.

The real secret to losing tummy fat is a balanced, calorie-controlled diet and an hour a day of average exercise such as brisk going for walks.

If you are likely to do belly exercises, which kinds work best? Most people figure that doing sit-ups is the logical solution, but there are better ways to attack the middle.

Believe it or not, you can develop your deep belly muscles by sucking in your tummy. Exhale completely and then pull your tummy button in and up slowly. Keep this position for 10 seconds and then rest for 10 seconds. You can do this on your hands and knees or standing.

Pelvic exercises work on your lower abdomen. Lie on your again with your knees bent. Tighten your belly muscles and bend your pelvis up slightly. Keep for five to 10 seconds. Repeat.

This is another pelvic exercise. Lie on your again with your knees bent up toward your chest and your arms at your sides. Tighten your lower abdomen and try to lift your buttocks up off the ground. Keep for five to 10 seconds. Repeat.
