Work on Your Core

Extra weight from inactivity tends to accumulate around one's waist. In addition to a nutritious diet, you need to incorporate ab exercises, ideally combined with cardio as an effective means to combat belly fat. And the good news is you don't have to do 1,000 crunches to reach your goals. Try plank variations, wood chops, standing oblique dips, stability ball exercises, etc. Or try a combination of yoga and pilates, which are both excellent forms of exercise for your core.
