How to get rid of a gut???

    Hi guys

    I am a 26 year old male and I'm looking for some help. I have a bit of a gut and it gets to me at times!!! It's nothing massive or anything but I would just like to get rid of it if I could at all! I'm just under 10.5 stone in weight so I'm not a big fella or overweight or anything! I'm a pretty skinny guy apart from this gut I'm developing. I don't want to lose weight because if anything I know I'm underweight because I'm on 5'8" as well so I should probably be heavier. I was hoping somebody might be able to help maybe to firm it up a bit. I'm not interested really in a 6 pack type of stomach! It just seems out of place compared to the rest of me! I usually walk everynight for 2 miles and I eat pretty healthily when I can. I'm not a massive drinker but when I do go out at the weekend (maybe once or twice a month max) I go on a proper session! I know being too skinny isn't exactly attractive either and I'm told I'm grand the way I am but I just would like to even just make my gut a little smaller. I just want to get it under control now before it's too late in the future!!!

    Thanks a million

    Among my workout regime, I do the Jacknife exercise, 30 reps a day. It works for me. Feel the burn!

    squats and sit ups will do so much alright, but really you have to look at diet. If you have a gut, its basically a layer of fat covering the muscle. You've got to shift the flab to let the muscle shine through. Eating the right things at the right time, along with some decent fat burning cardio work will do that.

    This is a two parter:

    Part 1: Food - You need to examine your diet.

    Part 2: Some resistance type exercises (e.g. weights, press ups, chin ups, etc. etc.). Some stomach exercises will help initially to flatten it, but the battle has to be won in the kitchen. :)

    I'm not that good yet! :)

    Closer to the one below, except the person in the video seems to be using more momentum (which isn't good).
