    Cycling, swimming

    Is there pain? See a doctor

    Popping can be normal but if new or painful get it checked

    Does it pop then not pop again for a number of minutes or does it pop every time?

    You can't spot reduce...lower body fat and progressive resistance

    If there's no pain or swelling then I wouldn't worry unduly, probably just wear and tear

    Ignore it and do whatever you like to do

    If there is pain and / or swelling see your doctor

    Here's the ab workout my trainer gave me:

    Leg raises. You lie on your back. Put your arms at your side & feet together. Raise your legs off the ground 6 inches & hold for 10 seconds. Do 3 sets of 12.

    Sit down. Cross one leg over the other with the top leg bent & pulled to your chest then twist in the opposite direction.

    With knees bent in the sit up position, angle your back 1/2 way between up & down & hold there using ab muscles only. With a weight in your hands (I use 10 pounds) twist from side to side touching the weight to the floor at the maximum end of the twist while still holding yourself at about a 45 degree angle. Again, 3 sets of 12

    Do at least 3 planks for 10 seconds each, longer if you can

    Stand up feet apart holding a weight in 1 hand. Bend to the side with the weight. Switch hands & repeat. Again 3 sets of 12. I do 1 set on each side then rest.

    Plus do 30 minutes of cardio. Swimming is probably the best all over workout but walking, running, biking, elliptical will all do.

    Decent workout, but you can't spot reduce fat. OP can do all the ab exercises you put here, but the body will use fat from whatever part of the body it wants. Also, isolated ab exercises are usually pretty inefficient, especially because in most cases they're not doing what you think they are.

    OP, please read over this.
