In my book this question is right up there with "what is the meaning of life". If I could answer it I'd tell you and if you find the answer first please tell me. Unfortunately I think that some of us are just built to always have a little safety stock down there in case there's a famine or something.
I take Taekwon Do twice a week, weight train three days a week and play hard on the week ends (outdoors kinda stuff). I don't drink, smoke or do drugs (any more :)) I watch what I eat down to counting my daily intake of all carbs, protein and fat. I'm 6' 173lbs. 15% body fat and guess where 5% of it is. So if you or anyone else out there has the true answer I'd love to hear from you. No pills (ECA stacks) or funky workout machines please!
(I heard lypo's the only way and I'm not havin' anything to do with that)

Hello, I've been working out for almost a year now and am really quite satisfied with the results I've achieved considering the amount of time I can spend on a daily exercise routine. However, there is one area I'm having trouble with... you guessed... the spare tire. The weird thing is that the top part of my abs are flat to the point where you can see the muscles underneath, but I still have this spare tire (which now seems more noticeable than ever since the rest of my body is in good shape). What exercises (or books can I read) that will help burn off this one last obstacle in my way of a pretty good physique? Thanks in advance!

There is no such thing as spot reduction. If you want to lose fat, you have to diet it off and get your bf% to a low enough point that it disappears. For men, this fat you're talking about is usually the last fat to go.

I was just told the other day by a trainer that the extra little 'roll' some of us get around our waist is strickly due to diet. Yuck! I can't EVEN fathom changing what I eat drastically. I do tend to do too much sugar in the form of cookies and RED LICORICE!!! He explained that it is just the bodies natural way to 'store' fat in case of fathom. It is our 'resourvoir' if you will.
I know this doesn't help immensely but I'm glad to hear others are having the same problem. I was beginning it was an "age" thing as I just turned 50 and no part of my face or body looks my age 'cept this little roll thingee. AGHGHHGHGHG!!!!!
