You should look into getting an exercise ball, they aren't expensive and they work wonders for your core, you can also do crunches and lots of different positions for all over the body. Just sitting on it watching TV will engage tummy muscles
Belly Fat
I have belly fat and I want to get rid of it. I am thinking of doing sit-ups/crunches and push-ups. Would that help me? I do not want to pay for a gym membership and I would prefer to stay at home and work out. I do not have weights at home, but I am willing to buy some.
What is an easy way to get rid of belly fat?

Thanks, I will look into that.
You can't lose belly fat by doing sit ups. Actually as you build muscle under the fat, you'll just appear to have a bigger belly. You need to burn fat (from your entire body). Running is a simple and free way to get a good workout in. Run 20 minutes a day in addition to your ab workout and pushups and you should see results.
Okay, I will try a routine work out with running and push ups.
If you want to lose weight in your belly you have lose it throughout. “The best way to lose the fat in the stomach area is by proper diet and exercise.
STOP DOING THESE-
» Since you now know that drinking and not eating on time increases the chances of getting a pot belly stop doing these.
» Stop binging on fibre free, refined flours and the foods such as white bread, pasta, donuts, cakes and biscuits. They lead to bloating, poor digestion, and causes accumulation of fat.
» Try not to have late night snacks: The main problem with late night snacking is that there is not much activity done afterwards. People go straight to bed right after the late night meal because they are tired. So, this will cause high sugar levels in the blood stream and no energy spent after that. The excess sugar will just turn into fat.
EAT THESE –
» While you give up on the bad carbohydrates, continue having the good carbs in the form of Fruits, vegetables.
» Increasing the fibre intake also helps in absorbing the fat that you eat. So choose wholegrain foods in place of refined ones. It also plays changes the glucose and insulin response and makes it easier to mobilize fat stores.
» “Remember to eat small frequent meals i.e. break down your meals from 3 square meal to 5-6 meals in a day” advices Anjum.
AND DO THESE-
We have all heard that sit-ups and crutches help you lose weight in the abdomen but it actually only ends up strengthening the abdomen muscles. Spot training won’t banish the fat, so isolating belly as an area to lose weight will not work.
Weight training- It is the best way lose the belly fat. Muscles burn more calories than fat so using weights helps to do that.
Aerobic exercises- there are the other exercises like jogging, swimming, dancing and sports like tennis which gives the body an overall workout and ensure that you don’t get that ‘extra tyre’ around your waist.

Cardio is really the only way to lose belly fat. At LEAST 20 minutes cardio 3-5 times a week. Elliptical machines are GREAT for that because you don't get as exhausted as running, it's easier on the joints, and you tone more muscles. (Especially the butt)
Losing belly fat requires a triple approach:
Healthy eating habits as apposed to dieting, long lasting healthy changes instead of a crash diet.
Exercises that burn belly fat - Cardio, interval training and full body exercises.
Abdominal exercises to tone the stomach muscles and get those great looking abs.
Good luck!
It all comes down to eating. Burn more calories than you take in. It will come off. You just have to find a way to burn it. You can have 6 pack abs but if there is 40 pounds of fat covering them it means nothing. I was in your position and lost 40 pounds. It came off everywhere but where I wanted it. I still have a little belly fat but it's much better than it was.
