I want to lose body fat, Any tips?

[Straight]

I want to lose body fat because I can feel (and see the faintest glimpse) of a 6 pack... Any tips? I could go running in the morning... But thats all I can think of...

Keep your diet in check. You don't have to go full out in this if you're just looking to lose a few pounds, but try to get rid of or at least limit things with excess sugars and unhealthy fats like sodas and fast foods. Get more healthy food in your diet and losing weight will be much easier. You can limit your carb intake too. I found increasing protein and fats in my diet while decreasing carbs really made me feel better.
As for exercise, running is good, Hell, as long as you're moving you should be fine. You can run in the mornings, do push-ups, pull-ups, squats, olanks, ect. All free, easy to do, and great for you. You can probably find some better exercise tips on google than I can currently offer, but try and get a schedule and stick to it.
If you can stay motivated, losing weight isn't as difficult as some make it out to be,

1. DIET do not deprive yourself of food but instead change what you eat to being only organic and healthy, meaning even things like hot dogs and processed foods shouldn't be eaten often.

2. Running is cardio and cardio does not build abs

3. Do ab exercises 1-2 times each week with 3 or 4 exercises each workout

4. Once you build your lean abdominal muscles further then do some cardio to give the full ripped 6 pack look or maybe even 8 pack.

Any questions on fitness just ask message me.

Main thing is sort your diet, it's true abs are made in the kitchen, an effective but not exactly healthy way of losing body fat quick is cutting carbs down a lot. If you don't want to do that just get yourself into a caloric deficit.

After that you need to be doing cardio, interval training is good for cutting body fat, running, elliptical training, stairclimbs and cycling is good.

Then you want to be training your abs, you can find good ab circuits and exercises on google so there's no point me going into it.

In my opinion you should start weight training along side this cause and on a skinny guy are like great boobs on a fat chick they just don't count or look good. Try to do some chest exercises like bench press, incline amd decline bench press, flies.

Shoulder exercises like shoulder press, Arnold press, military press, front raises, side raises, upright rows.

Then your back, lateral pulldowns, close grip lateral pulldowns, wide grip pull ups, one arm dumbell rows, bent over barbell rows < these will all do lats, for upper back (inner traps, rhomboids etc) try seated cable rows, reverse flies and pullovers.

Arms(biceps, triceps and forearms), standing bicep curls, isolation curls, 21's(best thing for a burnout to get a real pump), cable curls, preacher curls, pull ups, tricep dips, tricep push downs, kickbacks, close grip bench press, overhead tricep extension, hammer curls, wrist curls and various grip exercises

Traps, barbell shrugs, dumbell shrugs and cable pullbacks(using a rope pulling towards face)

Legs, squats, hack squats, deadlifts, leg press, leg curls, leg extensions and calf raises (seated or standing)

If you do all that along with diet and cardio then you won't just have a bit of a six pack but a great all round physique.

Sorry for the huge unessescary post I just wanted you to have the knowledge to do more than lose body fat if you choose to. If you need more detail about any of the exercises or a workout plan made or diet plan feel free to pm me

i prefer ab exercises and swimming

Run but also cut back on junk food and do some ab exercises. But you cant just do the ab exercises alone or youll have fat ontop, so definitely run
