The poster ahead of me is right...you need to do cardio and get rid of whatever fat is there first.  In my case a lot of it was just skin not fat so I moistured everyday to make the skin more pliable and shrink back down a little.  But once the fat is gone, good ol crunches will work for muscle tone.

HA! I thought you were talking about the ones inside the turkey along with the giblets....DUH! \n\nAnyway, I do some exercises that I read about in Cosmopolitan, and they have worked wonders. One thing you can do is stretch your neck as far out and upward as you can. Repeat this whenever you think about it. Also, another good one (and this helps to prevent your facial cheeks from sagging is to silently mouth the letters A-E-I-O-U, making sure that you stretch your mouth like you are really annunciating each letter. It's best to do this in private, because you won't get funny looks from your kids or others!! LOL!) These simple exercises really do work, and make you look much younger if you do them faithfully! Luckily, my neck didn't show it very bad when I lost weight, because I started doing these exercises about 10 years ago. As you get older, your skin loses elasticity, and is much harder to tone. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the loose tummy skin. Do you have any ideas?????? Good luck with the neck exercises, though! :)

I have found that if you cut out your sugar in-take and eat more fruits to curb the sweet tooth while doing crunches and Pilate's. The Pilate's really, really works your glutes. It teaches you to breath while exercising. As for your behind, get down with the squats and lunges. I use to hate to these but, I look at my legs and I feel blessed by doing them. Even while your doing all of these every other day, walk every day. Walking is the very best exercise to do. I walk about three miles a day and I do the squats and lunges on Mon, Wed, Fri and try to do the Pilate's every day. Alternate mornings and evenings so that you won't get burnt out. Also this isn't so much about getting into a bikini for the summer but think of it as an alternative to a healthier, better you! I have lost so far over 37 lbs. I want to keep going with this because I feel really good in the morning when I come to work.  God bless and good luck.

Isolation of tummy exercises won't resolve the issue. Most people carry weight around some part of their body. This happens to be your area. You are lucky cause you can hide it! I would suggest to reduce your fat and sugar intake cause that would assist with the diet. \n\nGo running twice a week for two hours. Do spin and boxing classes and refer to the website for some weight training and ab exercises: www.bodybuilding.com\n\nMake sure you eat all low fat low calorie dairy as well! Be persistent cause if you do you'll see the results. \n\nGoodluck!

Cardio, cardio, cardio.\n\nThat's the quickest way to get rid of them.  The only other way would be to target the muscles around them, but that is very difficult to do.

For fats on the upper area of your belly, regular sit-ups will do.  For fatty areas on the lower portion near the pubis you may do a different type of sit-up.  Sit at the edge of your bed, place your hands behind you for support as you lean back.  Then lift you legs up almost to the level of your body then start to lower them again, but do not rest them on the floor. Ten reps and three sets will do for a start.  Do that everyday and increase if you can tolerate more.  \n\nAlso, another trick that helps to get rid of unwanted bulge on the stomach area is to always contract it, if you can remember, whether you're sitting or standing.  Contracting helps get rid of the fats.  That's what I do, that is why I have no problems in that area.

In addition to the cardio (walking or rebounding or running), try eliminating ALL wheat from your diet. For some, it reduces tummy bloating and you may see your stomach look slimmer. This means bread, cereal, pasta are out. Substitute brown rice and potatoes instead. Try rice cakes instead of toast for breakfast (peanut butter is nice on them.) Add more fibrous carbs (vegetables.) This has been known to help.

try running, seams to burn more then walking, I know some people clam walking works just as good but they all seam to be large people.  you can also go to any store (most big box sores will have this) and go to there exercise equipment area then look for an abb wheel, its just a small wheel with a bar threw it.  use that, your tummy will be flat in no time.  It should run you around $10 or so, put a pillow or other padding down for you knees or they will not like it lol.

Stair climbing!  Just walk up and down the stairs a few times every day -- it does wonders for your glutes!

I would recommend getting an exercize ball and a video that emphasizes pelvic exercize.Its less harsh on your back.  I didn't have a Csec, but I did have a baby about the size of yours. People kept asking how many I was having and why I was still pregnant when I was only 7 months along. My exercize ball has been a godsend!

Swimming is the best exercise. Do stomach crunchs (where you go up half way) to flatten your tummy.

Excercise. Exercise daily. Running/jogging, stretching first of course. Eat healthier. No more nightly Cheetos raids; make that a weekend thing. Switch from whole milk to 2%. No more half/half in your coffee. From now on it's 2% for you. Stay away from diet pills, they're more addictive than helpful.

Give it about six weeks after delivery before you take on an exercise regime.  You may be surprised at how quickly you lose weight, especially if you are breastfeeding.\n\nCore strength exercises, like the pilates recommended above, are a good choice to flatten your stomach.  Just plain old situps and crunches will do a lot for you in that area too.  Cardio (jogging, aerobics) will help you lose weight overall.

Walk or run outside several times a week, it's free. Try going up and down a few flights of steps each time too. Crunches or situps on the days you don't run--- it'll help flatten your tummy.  Pushups to tone your arms.  Or.... pop in a great CD or organize your favorite MP3s into a collection that has some peppy songs you can dance to and make up your own aerobics routing.  All kinds of thins to do, the hardest part is getting motivated to do it!! Good luck!
