If you just want to lose belly fat you will need to mix cardio with core exercises (ab workouts). But the #1 way to lose the weight is nutrition. You should be eating 4-6 HEALTHY meals a day. This doesnt mean pizza, with ice cream after ;P More like, some sort of meat for protien (chicken, fish etc.), with brown rice (for carbs) and vegetables for your basic nutrients. You dont have to eat exactly what i say, just something relatively healthy.
Jogging is the best exercise, as well as swimming. For maximum results try jogging with your dog if you can, or speed walk. The harder your working, the better the results will be. Biking is also good because it activates your lower torso muscles, as well as your quads which raise your heart beat, burn calories, and targets your lower abdomen.
The final step would be the ab workout. Any exercise that targets your core will benefit you. Anything from planks to situps will help. Just search on Google "Ab Workouts" and you will find hundreds. Also, try to look for ones that target your specific area (Lower abs, upper abs, etc).
If you try to do all of these things at least once a day you should be seeing results in a month, but that also depends on your genetics, etc.
For a brief rundown do these things:
- Eat healthy (food with little fat and covers all your "health needs")
- Do Cardio
- Do core workouts
- Stay committed
Goodluck Bud :)
