Hi peoples.
I've been dying to ask this question for a long LONG time. I've been losing a lot of body fat lately, all of it useless. I know it's good to have some fat on the body but this stuff is just the crap that makes u heavier and slows you down. I've only got about 2 kg of it left and it is the hardest amount to get off. I was wondering, therefore, if anyone knew the 'secrets' to shedding those extra bits off more quickly.
Take for example: I have a 6 pack, i can feel the muscles, but there is a tiny layer of fat over the top which i need to get off. It's annoying and it slows me down.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey! When it comes to fitness, I'm the master.
for you belly, try different exerices instead of sit up.
Try:
crunches
leglift
bends
That is the only " secret" ( alone wiht many others) to lose you belly. |

..and possibly watching what you eat....and drink! 
Diet is important to speed up metabolism.
When lean people overeat their metabolism
speeds up and when overweight people diet their metabolism slows down.
The key is a balance of exercise and diet. The best foods to increase your metabolism naturally (you can take a supplement also there are so many out there!)and help you lose weight are fish, dark green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, blueberries and other fruits, whole grains, and at least 8 glasses of water a day.
Weight lifting, resistance or strength training, does not speed up your metabolism, but it does burn fat and increase your lean muscle mass. Aerobic exercise,like walking, swimming or cycling, has the added bonus of speeding up your metabolism for 4 to 8 hours after you stop exercising.
A combination of aerobic/cardio exercise and resistance training is best for optimal fat burning and metabolism boosting.

yeah, well beer really is not good for that 6 pack..heehee...too bad 
..'specially for you "guys" it seems that is where it settles after the age of 30.
Everything in moderation....well, at least some things!

leg raises work wonders.Lift legs about 6 inches from ground while on you back and keep them straight for about 30 seconds.increase time each time U practise.Then try with ankle weights.Thats what I do.I'm crap at it.
