    I also bought a post pregnancy DVD to try as it focuses on getting the tummy muscles back into shape so all the exercises are core based and strenghening your back and stomach muscles. You could try one and if you don't feel it makes you sweat enough do some cardio first get a sweat on then do the core workout routine as your 'cooldown'.

    It was recommended to me from someone who who used to it lose their muffin top but hadn't actually been pregnant. Some people also like Jillian Michaels six pack one for a more energetic workout focused on that area with cardio included.

    You can't spot reduce fat. Your only option is to create a calorie deficit through diet or exercise or both, and over time you will lose fat. Eventually, stomach fat will reduce -- but you can't do anything to cause fat to lose from specific areas.

    second that...Its all diet. Not pills, crunches, late night Ab machine commercials

    Don't compare yourself to pictures of models. They're stomachs are flat because they have the photos taken before they've eaten. Then they eat and the stomach rounds out like everyone else.

    The only way to get a flat tummy is by reducing your body fat, once the fat is gone, the abs show, diet and exercise is the only way.....you can do a million sit ups, won't help.

    Sucks you can't spot reduce though I'm getting smaller and smaller all cause I want my stomach to go away. I'm starting to look like a toothpick with a knot on the front. Not cute at all. But I guess all I can do is keep losing weight until my stomach goes away. Maybe I won't look like I'm dead before then.

    Hope you reach your goal and still look great doing it

    Liposuction! thats what I did!

    There is non-invasive lipo now.
    But, if you're looking for an answer here, all of the above. You cannot spot reduce. Think of it this way: fat there first, leaves last.

    Planks, obliques and superman exercises to work all parts of the core help a lot. That and diet. But don't go too low... your body will think it's starving and hold onto the weight!

    Unfortunately there is not magic formula for that....just diet, cardio exercise and eventually with the past of the time you will see the changes.

    Right now what I am doing to speed up the burning of fat stored in my abdominal part is 25 min cardio before and after my weight routine follow by 150 seated twists per side.

    You can also change your diet reducing your amount of carbs and increasing the protein intake I recommend you to eat a lot of lean meat, chicken but specially tuna.

    I hope this will help and good luck with your training !!!!

    Diet (especially eating whole grains instead of white carbs) and exercise (cardio, weight training, and pilates because it focuses on the core).
