Hi, I wanted to know what exercises I should be doing in order to burn some ab/hip fat and tone my midsection? I am a tall and skinny guy but since being in college I added a little bit of fat on my hips and stomach area. I have been on a diet now for a few weeks and I started ab ripper X a few weeks ago as well (2 times a week) but I wanted to know if there was an exercise I could be doing that would trim stomach fat better or if I should run 2-3 times a week instead? I hate to say it, but I am sort of lazy when it comes to exercise and I want to be able to get the toned midsection I want without the crazy workout routines every week. If anyone can give me some advice it would be greatly appreciated!

Burning ab fat and toning mid section?

Remember that it is not possible to spot reduce. The only way to lose fat from the abs or hips is to lose fat from your whole body. So you'll need to stick with your exercise plan long term, and most likely improve your overally diet. You can exercise all you want, but if your diet stinks, then you'll never see those abs!
Don’t aspect high if you do not want to sacrifice something. Try to be active instead of being lazy. Make changes to your diet and exercise regimen.
Try to follow couple of my simple advice:
• Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, yet so many people neglect to eat in the morning. Some feel they do not have enough time, while others feel that it is extra calories they do not need. However, eating breakfast can help regulate blood sugar and suppress appetite; both of which help burn stomach fat. A piece of fruit and an egg or some toast and milk will suffice.
• An overall circuit training program will help shed stomach fat and fat around other areas of your body. It increases your resting metabolic rate, and lean muscle is more efficient at burning calories than body fat. You work all of your major muscle groups including your abs, to create a firmer, leaner body. Aim for a full body circuit training program three times a week. Allow for one day of rest in between workouts.
• Use aerobic exercise in combination with circuit resistance training to shed belly fat. Pick an activity you can partake for at least 30 to 45 minutes. If it increases your heart rate, it will burn calories and belly fat. Dancing, walking, running, bicycling, stair climbing or elliptical training should be done at least four days a week.
• Crank up your fat burning engine with interval training. Instead of doing a moderate paced workout, burn more calories by using high intensity for a few minutes, then lowering for a few minutes. Try walk jog sessions where you alternate both for at least 20-30 minutes. Interval training can cut your normal workout in half and you can burn just as many calories as a longer, steadier workout.
Keep in mind; it would take certain period of time to get the result. Just keep up all of your hard works.
