- 1). Schedule an appointment with your family doctor to discuss your current health as well as the improvements that need to be made. Determine the most effective diet and exercise plan that will be safe and beneficial for you. Exercise plans will likely change over time as you lose weight and become healthier.
- 2). Purchase a good pair of running shoes as well as workout clothes before beginning an exercise regimen. The Inch a Weigh website explains that one of the most effective ways to burn fat and tighten the abs is to complete consistent cardiovascular exercises. Running or playing any sport that involves movement will help.
- 3). Perform crunches, twisted crunches, and situps to tone the abs. The Inch a Weigh website explains that the number and amount of toning exercises should be increased slowly. Combining cardiovascular and toning workouts is the most effective way to begin losing abdominal weight.
- 4). Develop a healthy diet to lose weight, tone muscles and decrease body fat. The Running Planet website explains that you should eat balanced meals that focus on complex carbohydrates, lean protein and essential fatty acids. Four to five smaller meals should be eaten a day and the portion sizes should be monitored strictly.
- 5). Consistently follow the meal plan and exercise routines to tighten the ab muscles. Hard work and patience are required to successfully lose weight and keep the weight off long term. The weight was not gained quickly and it will not be lost quickly either.
