I'm 16, and I am wondering what the best workout (I can do at home) is to help me lose that extra visible "chunk". Any ideas?

Recommended Answer:
rope jumping is an excellent exercise because it let you lose weightevenly throughout your whole body. If you want to lose weight inspecific areas, you should target them with exercises. If they areyour problem areas, they will be very difficult to tone. You will haveto work double on them. The best approach is this:1. Lower/control your daily calorie intake (control for normalweight, lower for overweight).2. Rope jump to lower your overall body fat percentage.3. Target your problem areas with exercises.an excellent exercise, you can do it in front of your TV: sit on astool, and put your toes under something (piece of heavy furniture,for example). In your hands hold a little dumbbell. Please, make surethat it is not very heavy, start with one kilo, for example, or youwill damage your back and spine! Slowly move the upper part of yourbody back, until it's parallel with the ground. Stop for a second andmove it back to the sitting position. Repeat ten times. Every week addto the number of repetitions. You will see the results in a week,guaranteed! Your stomach would be flatter and stronger. Dumbbells do wonders.

- The aerobics group lost around 2.5 square inches of belly fat, and a group that combined both aerobic and weight lifting lost only 1.5 square inches.Researcher Cris Slentz at Duke University in North Carolina, USA, who undertook the study, said: ‘Resistance training is great for improving strength and increasing lean body mass.‘But aerobic exercise is better for losing belly fat because it burns more calories.'
- Fat burning foods, bicycles, mountain climbers... Anything that works your lower abs. Make sure you run a mile everyday if not every other day.
- In reference to one of the other answers, do not do sit ups and/or crunches until you have no excess fat on your stomach! Contrary to the belief that it makes you have a flat stomach, it doesn't! Crunches and sit ups push out your abs- making them more visible- IF you have a flat stomach. If you have a layer of excess fat in front of your abs, then it will push that out too and make you look bigger.Try burpees, running, jumping rope, etc. Here's some more:Abdominal HollowingAbdominal hollowing is an exercise that targets deep abdominal muscles. Use an exercise mat, getting down on all fours. Take a deep breath before starting the exercise. Pull your midsection muscles to your belly button and hold the contraction for up to 10 seconds. Return to the starting position and rest for 10 seconds. Repeat this cycle up to 10 times during at home strength training sessions. Ballet TwistWith the ballet twist, you use side strengthening to tighten the abdominal muscles. Sit on the floor, with your legs extended and pressed firmly side by side. Slowly lean backwards about 45 degrees from your hips. Contract the abdominals, and bring both arms vertically overhead. Then, twist your torso to the left, placing your left arm on the exercise mat. Continue to reach for three counts. Repeat the movement on the other side of your body. Complete two sets, with about six to eight repetitions included in each set.Abdominal HoldThe abdominal hold uses a kitchen chair to strengthen the lower abdominal muscles, a common problem with belly fat. Sit upright on the kitchen chair, with your hands on the edge on the chair, fingers facing outward. Take a deep breath and draw your abdominal muscles towards your stomach. Hold the contraction and lift your toes up 2 to 4 inches off the floor. Maintain this hold for five to 10 second. Return to starting position and repeat the exercise for a full minute.Pelvic LiftsLie your exercise mat flat on the floor. Relax your arms at your side. Slowly contract your abdominal muscles as you lift your buttocks upward. Hold the contraction for 10 seconds and return to starting position. Complete up to 20 repetitions of pelvic lifts during your strength training session. Make sure to breath through the entire movement -- some people make the mistake of holding their breath with the contraction.Good luck!
