>> IT IS WORKOUT WEDNESDAY WITH
SUMMER FROM THE CORNER LOTS OF
WOMEN WONDER WHAT IS THE BEST
EXERCISE TO LOSE MY BELLY.
WE HAVE FITNESS EXPERT TODD
DOUGHTY WITH US TO LET US KNOW.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
>> I USUALLY TELL PEOPLE IT IS
AS EASY AS ONE EXERCISE.
>> IF YOU ARE STARTING NOW IT
IS TOO LATE, RIGHT?
>> IT IS KIND OF A LIFESTYLE
THING BUT THE MAIN THING IS
ACTIVE LIFESTYLE AND YOU CAN'T
OUTRANK A BAD DIET.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SPECIFIC
EXERCISES
, PLANKING, IF YOU DO
SIT UPS IT WILL MAKE YOUR
MUSCLES BIGGER SO IT ACTUALLY
MIGHT HAVE THE EFFECT OF MAKING
YOUR STOMACH LOOK BIGGER SO
AGAIN GOOD CARDIO ROUTINES AND
A GOOD ACTIVE LIFESTYLE.
>> YOU MENTIONED RUNNING.
RUNNING IS GOOD FOR THE GLUTES,
RIGHT?
>> GOOD FOR YOUR WHOLE BODY AND
A GOOD WAY TO HURT YOURSELF
BECAUSE IT IS VERY INTENSE TO
YOUR BODY SO YOU WANT TO BE
READY FOR.
I RECOMMEND PEOPLE START
WALKING BEFORE YOU RUN AND
WANT TO WALK
BEFORE YOU RUN.
WORK INTO THAT THE QUICKER YOUR
BODY WILL REACH ITS THRESHOLD
POTENTIAL .
I ALSO START WITH BAREFOOT
EXERCISES.
>> WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
>> I USUALLY TELL PEOPLE TO
WALKON YOUR TOES, OR FORWARD,
OR BACKWARD.
SPOKE SO I AM JUST DOING THIS.
>> GO FORWARD AND BACKWARD.
WORK ON
YOUR HEELS .
YOUR TOES OFF THE RUN.
DOING THIS IN THE GRASS REALLY
HELPS TO
TO YOUR
FEET, WALK ON THE INSIGHTS OF
YOUR FEET .
THE VERY FIRST THING THIT THE
FOOT.
IT IS NOT DOING HIS JOB ALL THE
ENERGY GETS DISSIPATED
SOMEWHERE ELSE IN YOUR BODY
THAT IS WHY WE HAVE BACK PAIN,
KNEE PAIN AND THINGS LIKE THAT
IF YOUR FOOT IS NOT DOING ITS
RESULTS.
BEFORE YOU START RUNNING MAKE
SURE YOUR FEET ARE STRONG.
>> WHAT IS THIS FOR ?
>> IT IS A RUNNERS TERM.
IT IS WORKING FROM A RECOVERY
LEVEL TO A THRESHOLD LEVEL.
IF YOU WANT TO START A RUNNING
ROUTINE I RECOMMEND BUCK FOR 20
SECONDS, THEN RUN AS FAST AS
YOU CAN FOR 20 SECONDS.
YOUR 20 SECONDS AND MINE ARE
TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS.
THAT IS YOUR THRESHOLD.
THAT.
IF YOU DO 32ND THAT IS FIVE
MINUTES OF WORK.
THAT IS NOT A LOT OF TIME SO
YOU ARE CRAMMING EVERYTHING

OUT RUN IT IS HARD.
ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE JUST
MANAGEABLE.
