1. I suggest doing some exercises that get the legs moving, such as walking, jogging, running, swimming or bike riding. These exercises that really get your heart pumping will burn the weight off quickly. I like push ups, yoga stretches, pull ups, crunches, curl ups, leg stretches, calf raises, and squats as far as being good toning exercises that use no equipment and cost zero money to perform. I like taking some dumbbells and doing some easy bicep curls, military presses, and lateral raises. I think diet is important also and try to eat healthy home-cooked meals with lots of vegetables in them. I try to stay away from the pop and sugar, candy, white flour products, and fast food. I try to get a good night's sleep each night.
2. running. beleive it or not, it works. i wanted to loose weight too, so i started running 3miles a day and im back to a size 1 oh yeah, and change your diet, lol obviously
3. Both of the previous answers are correct, but when you lose weight, you're losing it more or less proportionately from all points of your body. In other words, doing lots of crunches isn't specifically burning the fat on your stomach, but it is working your ab muscles.
4. everyone wants fast results, but nothing has been shown to do that without causing other problems. every quick fix pill that has ever come along has been shown to damage the heart or liver. also you cannot pick and chose where the fat comes from. you can't reduce your legs, stomach or hips by design. you lose weight, and your body uses its fat stores however it sees fit. your best bet, and the only thing that has been proven to work is a lifestyle change. you have to begin eating right and start getting much more active. focus on healthy/whole foods like fruits, veggies, lean meats, whole grains. avoid sugar, salt, simple carbs like rice, potatoes and white flour. limit dairy such as milk, cheese, butter, and watch fats like oils.
