I do crunches, push-ups, flutter kicks, sit-ups (regular & sitting v-ups), jumping jacks, etc. The ones that focus on my stomach are the sit-ups, crunches, and flutter kicks. What you might be missing that is a very important factor that is usually skipped is cardiovascular exercises. Are you including running in your exercise routine? If not, that might be the problem. If you are including cardiovascular exercises, the reason you might not be losing the belly fat might simply be due to your diet. Exercise and diet go hand in hand. I didn't lose anything until I changed my diet and I worked out everyday. If you are including cardiovascular exercises and you are eating healthy all you probably need is persistence and patience and that extra tummy will be gone in no time.

Try pilates type exercises...my daughter had a baby 3 months ago and is slowly getting back into shape using the pilates system...but realize that it takes time as well as exercise and diet changes to get the shape you want!  You need to consume less calories than what you burn as well as tone up the areas that have been stretched to their limits during the pregnancy!  Don't despair!  I have had 5 children...still have the love handles and earned every inch of them!

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.

Do lots of tummy firming exercises such as sit-ups/crunches, reverse crunces, bicycle (alternate legs, back and forth off the ground whilst lying on your back). Also, try to pull your stomach in slightly/lock on your abs at all times (whenever you remember at first, until it becomes automatic). Especially ensure you do this while exercising. Good luck!

There is an exercise called donkey kicks!  Get on all fours and kick your leg back extended all the way and then return leg to lower position, and also you can kick your legs sideways too.  It will tone your butt and also give you the curves that most women like. This trainer told my bestirred at the Gym about a year ago. and she looks Well let's just say I wouldn't mind you know....

Try doing crunches from a sitting position, in a straight backed chair. You get the same results, with much less discomfort to your back. You just need to pull your knees up toward you and let them down slowly. It works wonders!

You don't give a lot of information, but provided you're already in pretty decent shape, doing work on your abdominal muscles and also working your back muscles will help fill out your torso and improve your posture, making your tummy both look flatter and be in better shape overall.

diet and exercise. More of the latter though. \nRunning is really great for toning up, getting great legs and your tummy will look fabulous. You need to cut out all sodas, processed foods, typical junk foods, etc. Up your water intake, eat 6 SMALL  BALANCED meals a day and do at least an hour + of excerise each day.

yep, crunches or sit ups.  U don't have to lay all the way down on the floor, clasp your hands behind your head and then just bring your shoulders up to your knees that are bent and then don't go all the way back down on the floor.  That is the way they do it in the military and man it works, hurts like the dickens, but works.  Good nutrition and drinking lots of water does help but exercise will tighten up those muscles and your belly will be flat before u know it!

There is a pilates excercise that I like because it's the soloution to the "flat stomach + no pain" problem.\n\nYou get a pilates ball, and lay, with your upper body on the ball, and your knees stretched out and holding you up.  Do this while watching TV or a movie or something.  It doesn't make you that tired, and at first it's so unpainful that you can't believe it's working, but it is!

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.

Have you tried Yoga or Pilates?  Can go on line and find sites to print exercises.  See site below.  Also, when at a desk or computer, be sure to sit up and suck in stomach and also while walking.

Situps or lay flat on your back arms above your head and feet straight, slowly raise your arms and upper torso, along with pulling your legs up, stay level and use your stomache muscles to hold you in that position for five seconds, go back flat slowly while flexing your stomache muscles. Try 10 reps, then see how you feel. Good Luck!
