Hey, I'm 13/f and I'm about 5'4 and weigh 110 lbs. I don't want to lose any weight and I LOVE the curve of my hips, but what are some good toning exercises I can do do get rid of that lower pooch that spills over when I sit down? When I stand I have a nice stomach, and because I have such a large rib cage it looks weird if I suck in. I just wanted to know of some workouts that tone my lower abs.
Thanks!

then there's the BOAT-lay flat on your back. Bring everything up except have your tailbone on the floor. So your legs are up and bent, and your head is up with your arms out. so it's kinda like a sit-up, except your feet are up to and you are balancing on your tailbone. stay like that for about 1 minute. ((if you are shaking... thats a good thing! I always shake when I do that)) Another exercise is lay down flat on your back, then hold on to something that is sturdy (like a chair, or couch) then lift your feet up and get them to be vertical ( so you are forming your body like an L) Then slowly lower your legs, but do not touch them to the floor. Then lift them back up. If you want it tougher... then lower them to 1 side, but don't tip your body over. Oh and here's 1 more- again lay down and hold onto something sturdy. Then roll your legs up into your stomach ( like the fetal position ) and roll yourself up so that your back is no longer touching the floor. So the only thing touching the floor would be your shoulders. Then slowly roll back down but keep your legs rolled into your stomach. Don't drop them to the floor! then roll back up and repeat.
I hope I helped! remember, do as much as you can... then gradually get higher and increase your number
