It's really hard to get rid of that fat on your lower stomach because that's usually the most stubborn of all places to flatten. So yes, it's going to take time, dedication, and patience.
I'm not going to promise you that this "workout regime" will work in a week because usually, if you lose something ( a lot of it) in a week, you gain it back in a week and more.
Read the advice I gave to the questioner.
In addition to that:
You can do all the crunches you want but make sure you're doing them in a healthy and safe way. If your neck or back starts to hurt, stop because crunches are not the thing for you.
You can go into a crunch position but with your hands with the palms flat on the floor next to your sides. lift your entire lower body up (legs and butt) and curl the knees towards your chest. If this still hurts your back, don't do it.
Stand up, legs shoulder width apart and arms bent above your head so that the palms are touching the back of your head. Bring one knee to the opposite elbow and yes, you can bring your elbow to your knee as well and yes you can curl your abdomen--that's the point. So in short, bring your elbow and opposite knee together. Do this 8 times slowly than 8 times fast 8 times slowly 8 times fast...then do the same on the other leg.
If you need to get rid of something on the side...
Stand with your left leg in front and slightly bent. Your right foot should be directly behind your left foot and about a foot or two away from your left leg to the side. Hold your right arm straight up and your left arm can hold onto something for balance. Lift your right leg up to the side (straight!) so that you're sort of making an upside down "L" shape with your legs. While you're brining your right leg up, bring your right arm down so that it's parallel to your leg. Go back to previous position. Now do the same except this time your leg is bent at the knees and your arm is bend 90 degrees. Do this 6 times and on the 7th one, hold your leg up and bend at the knees and straighten then bend, hold for 5 seconds and let your leg down. Now repeat on the other side =) [ ductape_n_roses's advice column | Ask ductape_n_roses A Question ]
