Running is good, but if you really want to get rid of the gut hit the weights. Use a circuit training method to keep your heart rate up over the entire workout and use compound movements that will target a larger number of muscle groups.

It's an aging reactive, which means if you believe in age, your likely to slow down yourself(body).

If your really set on doing so, it's probably wise to stick yourself on a regulated diet and forms of exercise which will reduce the intake of stimulation, at the same time build up on your muscles through training, as another user pointed out.

Post subject: Getting rid of your gut

What's the best way to reduce your gut?

I am probably carrying about a stone more than I perhaps should, and I feel as though most of it is on my waistline. What can I do? Sit-ups...? Anything else that's more interesting?

I enjoy running and playing football (soccer)...

You will not get rid of the gut by doing sit-ups. If anything it will get bigger, a lot stronger, but bigger

Sit-ups don't burn a lot of calories.....The running on the other hand is a big help
