I am slim, I jog and exercise Weider’s six for abdomen but I cannot get rid of ‘side fat’. Can you help me?

If you exercise 6W, then this training is a sufficient stimulus developing the straight muscle of the abdomen as well as the oblique muscles and that is why I would stick to it. However, I would focus on aerobic exercises which are the key to burning of this ‘side fat’. First of all, you should calculate the pulse bracket for the aerobic efforts (approximately 73-78% max.). You can use the 220-age method and this will equal to HRmax but this method has measurement error of 5-7% (generally I find it quite satisfactory but it happens sometimes that the measurement error is too serious). As it is commonly known, fat burning is not only about utilisation of fatty acids (burning it during aerobic efforts) but it is also activation of fat from fat cells and that means that fat must undergo the process of lypolisis to fatty acids and glycerol so as it could be burnt during aerobic efforts. I think that this process is partly blocks in your organism and as a result glycogen and not fat is mainly burnt when you exercise.

You can activate fat by means of a different food supplements but I think that the most effective is caffeine or guarane ingested 30-45 before running lasting min 30 min in the calculated heart rate bracket (if you had some problems with keeping this heart bracket you should run in a form of intervals).

Apart from caffeine there are other fat burning agents, but sometimes their effectiveness is questionable. Despite of the fact they are compatible with the biochemistry of the substance, the descriptions in the leaflet are often far-fetched (the fact that a substance biochemically performs given function does not mean that when ingested it will intensify this function).
