Train with weights. Lifting weights will strengthen your muscles and increase your metabolism.

Step 4: Add oblique exercises
Lie on your side with your body in a straight line. Fold your arms across your chest, and squeeze your legs together. Lift your legs off the floor as you raise your elbow toward your hip. Do 100 repetitions; then switch to the other side.

Step 5: Eat healthy
Eat a well- balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Get your protein from chicken, fish, and lean meats.

Step 6: Count calories
Count your calories. You lose weight by burning more calories than you take in.

Follow a healthy lifestyle. Discipline, hard work, and determination will enable you to reach your goal.
