Just do planks/side planks etc...It will firm the muscle up on your stomach and will help pull things in.0

Just eat a calorie deficit and workout. No matter how many crunches and situps you do, it would never target your belly fat. Abs = low body fat, if you want to get rid of your belly fat and eventually see your abs, you need less than 10-12% body fat.
OP is a woman, so she should be able to see abs at 15%, women should not go lower than 10-13% as that is the amount of essential fat, men's essential fat is only 3-5%.
I think you can see some definition before 15%. I am nowhere near 15%, but you can see some definition on my abs.
I found full body exercises (burpees,etc), plyometrics (squat jumps, tuck jumps, etc) and strength training to be the best at losing the fat.0 -
I KNOW YOU CANT TARGET AREAS....but you can do exercises to strengthen your core (bicycle ab exercises, planks, captain chair) Im large chested as well and to avoid back problems I do a good core training workout (abs and back)
With my diet, cardio, weight lifting and core exercises I have noticed a difference in my abs(smaller tighter), back and less back pain.....
Dont hunch over woman stand tall and proud, stomach in shoulders, back....being in good posture all day works your abs and back..try it you'll feel it.0
