Hard to do: It is very difficult to decrease fat in only one part of your body. Obviously core related exercises such as certain types of sit-ups will tone the muscles in the belly and make them look less fat and losing weight overall will also decrease the fat in the belly as it does everywhere else. Know your body as to where fat comes and goes first.

Agree w Dr. Charlap: Spot fat loss does not occur naturally. By losing weight in general some will probably be abdominal fat. But, we don't get to choose what area of body fat is lost from. Eat healthy ; be physically active. Calories burned must > those consumed. Tighten ab's: crunches, reverse crunches, exercise ball crunches, pelvic thrusts, lying leg raises, side bridge ; “bicycling” exercise on back. Do.
