The most common reason that people want to get in shape is to be able to flaunt it somewhere... particularly a beach :)
The image of killer abs is usually doing hundreds of crunches and sit-ups to get that perfect 6 pack! Really that first place to get started is with cardio. Burning calories from getting your heart rate up burns fat from that muffin top that you've been able to hide all winter under those fashionable sweaters and coats.
My latest issue of Shape magazine *my favorite fitness magazine* suggests running because according to German researchers you will burn flab from your belly first. To put my two cents in there I think running is a great way to tone your core because you have to keep your core tight to keep proper running form.
(My new Nike Free Runs, love these shoes!)
I hope you're getting ready to lace up your running shoes...
