    What I recommend is to lay on your back with your legs straight, lift your legs up and down keeping them straight. They shouldn't be touching the floor. This will help your lower abdominals.

    pilates is great for your overall core area which I think (but am not sure) the area you are referring to is. :wink:

    Personally from my own experience that section of fat burns after all the belly fat and love handles are gone. Probably need to get down to about 12%-10% bodyfat.

    I know the fat part will have to be over all over time. But there is no firming exercising for the muscle there?
    It's impossible to spot reduce. It'll come off as the rest of the fat does.

    ETA: other than surgery

    try a firming lotion all over it can help with stretch marks and stuff like that. but i believe that smile that most of us get with age never goes away. its all fat so eventually it will not look so bad.

    You lose fat anywhere on your body by simply losing fat.

    Unfortunately, you can't decide where to lose it from, or in what order...so the answer is to be patient and just keep losing fat until you're as lean as you'd like to be.

    Of course there are.
    But I honestly think you should focus on basic exercises that have more of an overall effect than specific muscle groups. Just a better use of time.

    If you want to work your abdominal wall, specifically the lower part of the rectus abdominis, I would recommend overhead presses or burpees. Either will give you more than just value to your abs.

    However, if you do want to focus in anatomical specific work I would suggest reading this page, it is pretty damn good: http://lyndseydesjardins.com/functional-anatomy-part-6-abdominal-muscles/
    The rest of his site is excellent.

    Planks and hanging leg lifts (Captain's chair) will strengthen the area and help somewhat in bringing things in - you aren't spot reducing, just tightening the area a bit.

    My gut is the last to go, so I know how annoying the area can be.

    Some women have that too. It's called a Gunt. In your case... a Gick?

    And I agree with the others to be patient.

    Gunt? never heard of that one. I called it a FUPA (Fat Upper *%$#& Area)

    I usually say FUPA, but the best one ever for the female is the "Vagomach" Maybe for a guy it could be called "Penomach?" Either way, seriously, you can't "tone" that area. Just keep doing what you are doing. Lose fat. It'll go away. Promise.

    No you can not spot reduce fat. Yes you can build up the lower abdominal muscles WHILE you reduce fat.

    i am a female,mind you, but of course the pooch (the lower stomach) - although problem area does not got that low - has been the bain of my existance. i am currently at 13% bf and it's still not as chiseled as id like. I have given up regular crunches & upper ab focused workouts in general - my upper abs are easily targetted by most every compound lift i do, if my form is up to par. it's also hit for the same reason when i do any resistance type training. if i ever do specified ab days, or workouts i focus on leg lifts, leg raises, v ups, etc, lower ab targetted stuff.

    everyone always focuses on the fact that you can't spot reduce fat - no one ever focuses on the fact that you CAN spot build muscle... it's just almost pointless if you are not doing both.

    Or you could just hide your trouble area with a protein canister.

    Make an appointment with your healthcare provider, board-certified dermatologist, or board-certified plastic surgeon for a consultation about the matter. They have multiple options to improve to look of fat in that area such as Coolscalpt, lasers, non-evasive, and evasive procedures. I have the same condition and I am 12% body fat so genetically some of us keep fat in that area.
