What are ways to help get rid of the 'pooch' of belly fat under the belly on?

The incline is bad for the tendons in your ankles, I would advise to stop that so that you will be able to walk around for your trip. Also make sure you give yourself one day of rest per week so your body can recover. You should look to do different types of abdominal muscle exercise (google them and pick which ones you think would work best for you). As for your , keep on running, its great for that too!
