With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

However is it the subcutaneous (under the skin) fat layer you want to lose or the general shape of the gut. Many people appear to have a gut because the internal muscles do not hold the organs (and consequently the outer stomach muscles) in the most flattering way. If there’s not much of a fat layer to loose try just focusing on holding your stomach in all the time (stomach in chest out type pose). This will strengthen the muscles so that after a while they will stay like this naturally. Also try vacuuming exercises (literally breathing in, sucking your waist in chest up as much as possible and holding); this will have the same effect. You could also try swimming under water and close grip pullovers; theses will also act to enlarge the rib cage so it depends on your goals if they are appropriate.
