Fat under the belly button can be uncomfortable and unsightly. This area is often a trouble spot and can be difficult to address. By combining regular cardiovascular exercise with a healthy diet and specific exercises to target the problem area, you can reduce overall body weight and the fat under your belly button. Perform two to three sets of 10 to 20 repetitions of each lower-belly exercise on three nonconsecutive days a week.

AB PULLINS
The exercise works the muscles below your belly button and the upper abs and obliques. Begin in a pushup position with your shins resting on a large exercise ball. Your hands should be shoulder-width apart with legs together. Keeping your back straight and your abdominal muscles tight, pull your knees toward your chest, allowing the ball to roll forward down your shins. Squeeze your belly muscles at the end of the movement, then carefully roll the ball back to the starting position by straightening your legs.

INCLINE LEG RAISE

This isolates the lower-belly muscles. Beginners should start with a bench that is only slightly inclined. Lie on an incline bench with your feet toward the bottom and grasp the bars or handles. Raise your legs to horizontal, then lift your pelvis, rolling your spine up as if to bring your knees to your head. You should feel your lower belly working as you lift your pelvis. Pause at the top of the movement, then slowly lower back to the starting position.

DOUBLE TOE TAP

The double toe tap effectively targets the fat under your belly button, working mainly the transverse abdominis muscle. Lie face up on the floor with your knees bent and your arms extended along your sides. Lift your legs so your hips are bent to 90 degrees and your shins are parallel with the floor. Contract your abdominal muscles and press your lower back into the floor. Keeping your knees bent, slowly lower both feet to tap your toes to the floor. Use your lower-belly muscles to lift your legs back to the starting position. Exercises to Help the Belly Button After Pregnancy

STRAIGHT LEG REVERSE CRUNCH

This is a challenging exercise that you will feel in the muscles under your belly button. Lie face up on the floor with your legs extended and arms straight along your sides. Contract your abdominal muscles and, keeping them as straight as possible, lift your legs so the soles of your feet point toward the ceiling. Pull your belly button into your spine, then carefully lift your pelvis off the floor while keeping your mid and upper back in place. The movement of this exercise is minimal. Squeeze your lower abdomen at the top of the movement, then carefully lower back to the floor.

Chris Bell Trinity High School definitely Reply Like July 20 at 6:00am Sarah Kay Hohman University of Mississippi I've had 2 c-sections and Crossfit has helped me tremendously! I gained about 45lbs with both and am now more in shape than I was pre-baby. Reply 9 Like March 5 at 9:24am Jennifer King Vincent Talladega, Alabama THANKS whats crossfit? Reply Like March 5 at 1:03pm Sarah Kay Hohman University of Mississippi Jennifer King Vincent It's a workout created by Firefighters so it's pretty intense. It's kind of like the P90X and Insanity workouts but it incorporates free weights and other aspects. I have never done the same workout twice (except to use as a benchmark) so you never get bored. All the workouts are timed so you're getting your cardio in at the same time since you don't stop between reps. You can look up some crossfit workouts on youtube or www.crossfit.com. Don't let them scare you if you're just starting off. My son was only 10 weeks old when I started and I had to modify almost every workout. I hope this helps!! Good luck :) :) Reply 21 Like March 5 at 1:43pm

Chelsea Kay Harig Saint Marys, Georgia I have a bulging disc in my lower spine that is pinching my sciatic nerve. A lot of these exercises are nearly impossible for me to do esp after my c-section 9 months ago. What can I do to strengthen my back and the rest of my core before doing such intense training?
