"It is better to be rich and healthy than poor and sick." (Dave Barry)
I’m 13 and am pretty small and slim except for my stomach. I really want flat, nice looking abs. I know exercises to build a 4-pack [a 6-pack looks kinda weird on girls]. I just want to know how hard I’d need to work. Thanks!
There is no doubt that being healthy is a goal for most adults. Having a small, firm waist is the key to wearing today's fashions, but not everyone has the ideal body shape.
In the quest for good health, the overweight population has thrown millions of dollars at the problem. The weight loss industry is huge - and understandably so. Almost 65% of Americans are overweight or obese. Not only does this carry a personal price tag, but it puts a strain on the US health care system to the tune of $93 billion dollars per year - and growing.
The message is getting through about weight loss, but sadly people are taking the wrong steps to shed those pounds. Judging by the amount of money thrown at 'diet pills' and the ab-shaper type machines sold in infomercials, people believe that there are quick fixes and short cuts to fat loss.

Getting a flat stomach is much easier than keeping one. Once you’ve busted your *** to get one, you have to work much harder to keep it.
Mainly, you’ll have to concentrate on your diet. Feed the muscle and not the fat. Monitor your fats, starch, sugar, salts, and complex carbs (processed food).
Walking and running/jogging are pretty good exercises to help lower the fat throughout the body. Crunches will tighten the mid abs, leg raises for the lower abs, and twists for the obliques (love handles).
