flatter stomach
I am short for my age, only like 5 foot and I way around 100 pounds. When I am wearing clothes, I look like I am alot less then 100. ANyways, I kind of have this "pouch" like where my belly button is but above that I am skinnier. How can I get rid of this "pouch" So I have more of a flatter stomach?

I have the same exact stats as you. I also have the pouch. Ugh, it sucks being a girl because we all have this. Its not just you. Its a hard area to get rid of.
Here are some excercises I like to do.
THE BICYCLE:
1. Lie face up on the floor and lace your fingers behind your head.
2. Bring the knees in towards the chest and lift the shoulder blades off the ground without pulling on the neck.
3. Straight the left leg out to about a 45-degree angle while simultaneously turning the upper body to the right, bringing the left elbow towards the right knee.
4. Switch sides, bringing the right elbow towards the left knee.
5. Continue alternating sides in a 'pedaling' motion for 12-16 reps.
CAPTAINS CHAIR
1. Stand on chair and grip handholds to stabilize your upper body.
2. Press your back against the pad and contract the abs to raise the legs and lift knees towards your chest.
3. Don't arch the back and remember to breathe smoothly.
4. Slowly lower back down and repeat for 12-16 reps.
THE PLANK
1. Lie face down on mat resting on the forearms, palms flat on the floor.
2. Push off the floor, raising up onto toes and resting on the elbows.
3. Keep your back flat, in a straight line from head to heels.
4. Tilt your pelvis and contract your abdominals to prevent your rear end from sticking up in the air.
5. Hold for 20 to 60 seconds, lower and repeat for 3-5 reps.

Running will help tone this area, so you should try and run a little bit everyday. Also, sit ups and crunches really work this area. Good luck, hope I helped =]

I have that too.
You can't get rid of that. Every girl has that because that is where all the extra 'stuff' is so we can have babies, haha.
Just trust me, the skinniest girls in the world have it so obviously it's not fat which means you can't work it off.
Sorry if that didn't help but I thought I should tell you when I read this question.

Do crunches or sit ups. Keep doing them too, like if you do a certain amount when you wake up, then before you go to bed. You should be starting to have a more toned stomach. Some people are born with a bulky stomach though. Sit ups and crunches should help you out if you stay dedicated to doing them every day . Hope this helped
=)
