How Can Waist Flab Be Trimmed?
Hi, My son is 104 pounds, is 11 years old, and plays baseball. He is moderately active with his friends and also likes to play basketball but really more shooting hoops as opposed to hard game play. I am worried about a tire that has formed around his waist. When he walks around without his shirt, it actually sort of jiggles and looks very flabby. How do I help him get rid of this so that he doesn't have to live with a poor body image the rest of his life. Most of his friends are all very trim.

Hi
First off he needs to have blood work to check for metabolic syndrome/prediabetes
If he doesn't have that he needs to get a personal trainer for working on his abdominal muscle tone to get rid of the tire
