I know there is no way to spot reduce, but I am in desperate need to find out how I can get a flat toned stomach without losing the size of my legs. I like the size of everything but my stomach. I know that cardio along with ab workouts will reduce my stomach, but cardio also takes away from everywhere else. Anyway, I hope someone has some advice for me. Thanks! blsd-b@excite.com

Do all forms of leg work, squats, presses etc. to build up your leg muscles some more. However if you are happy with your body size apart from your waist you may not lose much from your legs, providing there is not much to lose.

If you ant to lose the abdominal fat wothout losing muscle, you need to clean up your diet and add a little cardio, just enough to burn fat, not enough to burn off your muscle. If you mean you like your 'padding' elsewhere, but want to lose it on your abdomen, sorry. Fat loss generally occurs all over, or sometimes in odd sequence. often women lose upper body fat first, with hips and abs and buttocks being the last to go. how you lose it will be different than how I lose it, or how your best friend loses it. it is mostly genetic. Try eating cleaner and see where you start to lose the fat. -------------- \"Achieving worthwhile goals requires a consistent investment of time and effort on your part....The rewards you receive will be in direct proportion to the consistent effort you put forth.\" Brian Johnston, The Power of The Champions
