A lot of girls ask me how to get rid of the ‘pooch’ or fat on their abs (specifically the lower abs)…. I thought I’d share the answer for those of you who were struggling with this issue or curious, but haven’t asked =)

“I have some fat on my stomach that will not go away! I do tons of crunches and other ab exercises, but it doesn’t make them any more tone or defined. What exercises will help make it disappear and give me abs?”

There is no such thing as spot-reduction in regard to fat loss. You can’t choose where your body loses fat. It happens systematically all over and is usually determined by genetics. The only way to lose the tummy is to lower your TOTAL body fat. You can do this by eating clean in a caloric deficit, doing cardio and lifting weights. So no, there is no abdominal exercise (not even 100s of crunches!) that can whittle away belly fat. It takes solid nutrition, hard work and patience. =)
