    Can't spot reduce.

    Recommendation - Exercise for looks and health (strength & cardio). Eat at a deficit to lose the fat.

    Sorry. There isn't one. It isn't possible to target a specific area of bodyfat, just reduce your overall bodyfat percentage. IMO, the best way to lose bodyfat all over is to lift weights. Pick up really heavy stuff; you'll burn calories while you're doing it, and then continue to burn calories as your body rebuilds the muscles stronger.
  • I do the insanity workout and that has definitely reduced my belly and I'll be firm and in a bikini by the summer. My son is also 16 months so it does take time

    I've had 2 kids and the one major thing I've noticed is how while prego your abdominal muscles separate so to help build core strength "front planks" are gonna be your new best friend. After having my second child I couldn't even do 1 sit-up at 3mo post partum and that was unusual for me so I did research and discovered what was preventing me from doing what I had always considered an easy exercise. So start with front planks and of course cardio is the ultimate fat burner. And calorie cut. Good luck

    Careful with abdominal exercises and separated muscles, it can further the gap. Reducing body fat all over and strength training will help. And time. My 4th baby is 7 months old, stomach is flat, and no ab exercises in sight.... I run 3 times a week and lift 4.
