My pot belly (sorta)
Hey! I'm a small girl-13 and I'm pretty fit everywhere except for my tummy! I do crunches all the time since im a dancer. That has worked with my upper abs, but has't done much to my lower abs. I know about leg lifts and those sort of excersizes, but im never really motivated to do them! Any suggestions?
Some side info: My tummy is really skinny when I wake up, but as the day moves on and as I eta my meals I get fatter. This is so frustrating!! How can I avoid this also?!

first if you mean tone your stomache then you wanna do crunches lay flat on your back lift your legs up like most people do but dont touch them with elbows or anything like that that'll over work you just lift your self up until you feel your muscle tighten and you'll know your doing it right
the reason your stomache is like that or anything is because your body is filled with fluids...when you sleep(lay down flat) for a period of time the liquid spreads rather then gathering in pockets or mass in areas it goes to due to gravity which is also why you get shorter during the day because when you sleep gravity pulls you accept theres no where to go so you strech to your Would be Normal height but since gravity pulls on your during the day it pulls your bones together and you get shorter (also thats why your legs get bigger all the liquid rushes to your legs)
why do you think its not good to hang up side down for too long

When you sleep your body stretches out and makes you taller and skinner but hard to really notice. As the day goes on your bodys weight makes you srink back down and your top weight goes to the stomach but idk how much your noticing cause its not all that much maybe a few centimeters. I know this doesnt help much but I learned it in science one year. But about your tummy. A good excercise is getting a medicine ball and doing the crunches or running and eating healthy.

yeah it's weird , i've talked to a lot of people about that second thing. my stomach's really flat when i wake up like it almost caves in , but then the instant i eat something it gets bigger. you just have to eat less fatty foods in the morning and eat them slower and your stomach will still get a little bigger as the day goes on but not by much. just don't eat french toast, waffles, or anything like that for breakfast. try an apple, banana, any fruit, etc. you could try doing the exercises right before you go to bed if you can't go to sleep. or right when you wake up if you don't wanna get outta bed right away. ♥
