What are the best ways of losing stomach fat for health - i.e. fat around organs rather than wanting to have a flat/toned stomach? Preferably things I can do from without much equipment (I do have some dumbells).
I've been trying planking and I can do 30 seconds x 3 so far, after 3-4 times a week for the last 3 weeks. I could barely do 10 seconds at first, so I am making progress, but from googling, I'm not sure if planks are good for this or not.
I have a healthy diet and no health problems, normal weight, but I have a big spare tyre (my waist measures about 3" more than half my height) so I am worried about the health impact of the extra fat around my stomach. I'm 57 and this is a combination of fat I never lost after pregnancies and the impact of menopause.
I do a lot of brisk walking (at least an hour a day) and half an hour of yoga 2-3 times a week. I'm not bothered about my body shape, just want to reduce health risks, but I'm confused from what I've read online about whether I'm doing the right thing with planks, do I add other exercises, or am I doing the wrong kind of exercise?
