Hi All,

I'm 30, male, don't drink or smoke, and fairly inactive.

I have a slight "pot belly" and wondering, what's the best way to tone this and lose the stomach? Preferably without going to the gym (something I can do at home).

Due to a serious knee injury and permenant vulnerability in my knee, I'm not the type to play football/cricket/rugby, etc.


Thanks!

Hi All,

Didn't expect this thread to be so popular!

Issue with knee is serious dislocation 4 times. Was going to get it operated on (lateral release) but the day before the surgery, the idea was scrapped because I'm too young. That's the NHS for you. Like they didn't know how old I was to begin with!? I was too young to question or challenge any of this.

I basically can't do any exercise that involves pivoting on my knee. Football is a good one for that, where you turn very sharply. Sucks.

That being said, I'm still a bit lost what my options are? I can swim 2 lengths and will be out of breath, anything is better than nothing. My stomach doesn't stick out immensely that it's noticeable, rather it is slight but still noticeable if I take my t shirt off.

Ok thanks all.

Cycling is on my list, I have an indoor bike which I will assemble and use heavily. Even if not for losing the stomach, it will get me out of breath/can adjust tension, etc.

One thing which is confusing is my visceral fat is usually 6 or 7 which is very good, but then I should have a completely flat stomach?

EDIT: Also is sugar bad for me with the goal to get a flat(ter) stomach? I know sugar is obviously bad, but is it counter intuitive to getting a flat stomach?
