A member asked:

Are there stomach exercises to do help get rid of belly fat besides diet?

None specific: You can have the strongest stomach muscles in the world and still have fat cover them. It has been proven that exercise focused to a body part does not eliminate the fat covering that area. That being said having lean muscle mass added to your body through workouts burns fat efficiently. Overall aerobic interval training added to muscle strengthening will really improve your results.

To tighten your abdominal muscles consider doing crunches, reverse crunches, .
