How tall are you. 160 isn't much if your like 5'10. It is a lot of you are 5'0. I don't have much time, so if you wish, I'll explain it in detail later, but what I will say at the moment is. Mix of cardiovascular exercises (swimming would be preferred), and multijointed exercises with weights in repetitions of 12 with minimal break.

Really, anyone who has really worked out will tell you that losing that stomach fat equals only one thing, DIET. I always laugh when I see guys at the gym doing sit ups while holding weights or medicine balls. This does NOTHING. All you're doing is increasing the size of the stomach, because it's a muscle. Area work does not get rid of fat, only dieting does. Of course, exercise speeds this up, but it's only about 15% of the actual process of getting cut. You can't dictate where it goes away from either, your body takes it away as it takes it away, everyone is different in that regard. Some people lose from the arms first, others the stomach, the only way is to diet and exercise, diet being primary.

Get yourself a Dance Dance Revolution mat and go to town.

I'm joking, but DDR really is some good cardio. If you couple that with a major diet change (and some alternative exercise) you could be slim fast.

Ha, yeah, it actually is quite a good workout. I saw the number 22 in the world player at an arcade once. Wow. He was a barrel of sweat when he finished, feet moving like a blur. Remember the old NES Power Pad? Ahhh, good old days of video game exercise.

Yes I do. Good ol' Track and Field.

Keep your eyes peeled, because I'm shooting for the number 1 spot in DDR. Training starts Jan. 7.

cardio is the best way to lose weight. dont lift weights cuz it will increase body mass which will become fat again if u dont work out.

Incorrect, it will increase body mass if you work out in a certain way. Lifting weights in general, depending on how you do it, provides different results.

I find cardio is the best, remember, that the most important muscle in your body is your heart.
