Hey. I'm 16/f and i'm not really fat, but i'm a little bigger. i guess i have what you'd call a gut. not really big, i mean it's hideable with jeans and stuff, but i know it's there and i really want to lose it. but whatever i do like sit ups or something, it only works my abs and not the lower section where i need to lose. any suggestions? like some good workout? i already eat healthy and everything, it's just whatever workout i do never seems to help. thanks!

Sadly no exercise can remove this fat. Humans can either lose weight or gain weight. When our bodies are losing weight, fat is pulled from all over. Genetics determines if one area is (under) emphasised.

Its a myth that training a body part will slim it down.

So, you have two choices:

1. You can lose weight (eventually the fat will come from your problem area). For this you need a negative calorie balance. Cardio is ideal here as a form of exercise. Full body resistance training is great too.

2. You can accept it as it is.

Short of surgery there are no other options.

Good luck.
