6 Moves to Shrink Your Belly

The quest for a whittled waistline gets harder as you age. The reason: Hormonal changes encourage excess calories to make a beeline for your belly, where they are stored as--you guessed it--fat. When researchers at the University of Vermont tested 178 healthy-weight women ages 20 to 60, the oldest had 55 percent more belly fat than the youngest.
A bigger belly, however, isn't inevitable, and tummy-toning exercises can help. Pilates workouts and training is your secret weapon because it works all of your abdominal muscles: the six-pack rectus abdominis, which runs down your center; the waist-defining obliques, which wrap around your sides; and the deep transversus abdominis, which is often missed in traditional ab workouts, says LA-based Pilates instructor Michelle Dozois, who designed this Pilates workout. For maximum results, flatten your belly by pulling your navel toward your spine during each rep. Do these Pilates exercises three times a week, every other day.
