Hey guys I'm pretty skinny, weighing in at about 54kgs (119pds roughly) and i am 168cm tall (5.5 ft). I'm trying to get rid of a bit of my belly fat and looking for the best way to go about it. I just want some of my lines to show hah. I've got lines over my body in other areas but it just seems that my belly is packing on all the fat. Theres not much fat on it and my mid section is very flat, except the area directly under my belly button which seems to protrude a little

are there any exercises in particular that will aid in my cause? or any diet routines?

The exercise I currently do is posted on youtube its like a 6min ab workout - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fU_8kJeXeE&feature=related

I also do pushups every night before bed, and during the day when I get the chance.

Currently I have been fasting from sunrise to sunset due to religious reasons but in about 2 weeks i can eat normally again

Any help would be greatly appreciated. cheers

I dont see how you could have extra fat but jump roping is the best way, and jogging.

Just get in boxing shape and don't worry about how pretty you are.

there is no way to target a specific area to burn off fat. your body will burn it off however it's genetically inclined to. the best way for you to try to burn it off is with your diet.

A berr belly type belly is better than disgusting cellulite slimer bellies. I know a guy who lost 3 stonmes but still has disgustuing slimer. Just eat lots of fruti anf train in a sauna suit.

You muslim? a friend of mine is fasting too...it must be hard, keep it up.:boxing:

anyway about the weight... i would say just a mix of running or other cardio work and ab workout type stuff, like some sort of circuit with situps, leg raises ect...i didnt watch the video so if you already are i apologise.

Trying to find it hard how at 5 ft 5 at 54kg you wanna lose fat? Surely you must have nothing to you... I am 5ft 5 at 63kg and I am skinny as hell.

Maybe youre 53 kg?
Im 5'5 and 49kg
My mate is 6'2 and 63kg
If youre 63kg you must be stocky built atleast

63 kg isnt stocky at all, im 5 ft 8 and 76 kg. (170 pounds) and 10 percent body fat.

Also lifting weights would eventually burn off some fat. You might actually gain some weight. (Most of it being Muscle) Then as the muscle needs more calories it eats the fat.

well then youve got alot of bulk, thats what i meant by stocky
my bad!

Maybe I am big boned... (although I am not), my mate is 6ft tall and weighs the same as me. Also I don't have much muscle on me, but prob a bit of fat that I could burn off. There was a stage when I was 53kg or 50kg, and I was very unhealthy, you could see all my bones and that, so I started bulking up and now I consider myself healthy, but my trainers want me to be a bit lighter.

Your stomach is probably protruding out since you have weak stomach vacuums, "The muscles behined your abbs" so basically you train them by sucking your gut in for a couple of minutes daily.

Sounds far fetched. Most people have a gut because they are fat.

Celeritas, it sounds hard but it is not! I've been fasting since i was ten and it makes no difference to me. Even though the days are getting longer now I still train. You won't get that badly dehydrated as people think if you plan your meals properly around your training.

It annoys me when people use it as an excuse to not train and do other things. Like the whole world has got to stop for a month! pricks.
