i am a 13 year old who wants to tone her belly without loosing too much weight (i am 5feet 1, and 86 pounds (40kgs))
Answer:Well if you just want to tone your body about 5 minutes of cardio is fine! But if you want to loose weight yeah you can do cardio.
Here is a workout for toning your stomach. Dont just do situps. Sit Ups is only one part of toning your stomach!
Do those excercises with sit ups!

Try Pilates
Yes. You still have a layer of fat over your tummy. The sit-ups tone your abs but the cardio will burn the fat. I do kick-boxing...love it! You also have to cut out fats from your diet.
well you can do all the situps you want, but u wont see the toning until u trim the fat around u tummy. so cardio will burn fat and while your situps are toning, its a 1-2 punch.
Yes...in order to see the muscle definition of your abs you need to lose the layer of fat overtop of them..which is done mainly through cardio and a high protein, low fat diet. If you don't want to lose weight a lot of weight, make sure you're getting enough calories from complex carbohydrates (whole grains--avoid white bread), lean meat, milk, fish, vegetables, and fruit. Good luck!
PS also do some weight training along with the cardio.
First, you need to look at your belly and see how much fat you have covering your abs. If you have much at all, you will need to do some cardio to help burn the fat from your midsection. Pilates, Yoga, and Tai Chi are great ways to strengthen your core, or your abdominal area. This, or regular exercise with ab work, and don't forget to EAT RIGHT. Also, hold your abs in all the time (suck and and tighten your abs). When you are sitting around, grocery shopping, or whatever!
