How To Tackle Stubborn Tummy Fat

1. Focus on the core area.

You don’t have to work out all day, every day to see results, especially if you are trying to target-tone one specific area, like your midsection. I recommend 30 minutes of light physical activity every day, and if you are targeting a specific area, add in an extra 5 or 10 minutes on just that area. Videos like my Core Crusher is a great place to start - add it to your workouts three or four times a week and you WILL see results!

2. Mix it up.

I recommend changing up your workouts when you are target toning. For instance, for your tummy area you will want to target the abs, the waistline, the lower tummy area, etc. Working all these different areas will help to tackle that tummy fat! So in addition to the video like the Core Crusher above, add in Pilates and yoga workouts, exercises that specifically target the waist, and more. All these are available in my DeniseAustin.com Plan - I have over 75 ab-specific workouts to help you tackle - and keep off - that fat in your midsection!

3. Stand up straight!

If you don’t have time to get in a full workout or make it to the gym, you can still work out your tummy muscles. I call this easy move the “DIY Tummy Tuck”:

  • Sit or stand up straight (wherever you are!)
  • Contract your tummy muscles and hold for 5 seconds
  • Release the muscles for 5 seconds
  • Repeat

One contraction equals one sit-up. You can do this anywhere, anytime so give it a try!

4. Eat foods to tackle bloating.

While it is not exactly tackling that tummy fat, when you combine eating foods that can help to prevent bloating with the exercises and suggestions above, you will be on your way to minimizing your weight around your midsection! See what foods can help minimize bloat.

With this combination of regular fitness, targeted movements and eating right, you can tackle that belly fat and banish it for good. You will feel and look amazing! And if you need a little help, try my DeniseAustin.com plan - I can guide you through workouts, eating and more. You can do it!!
