Mommy pooch

I don't think you can 'tone' the pooch itself, that's just fat loss. What do they say, "you don't make abs in the gym, you make them in the kitchen". Basically, eat a cal deficit to lose fat. Tone up your abs by doing ab exercises, ex. crunches, leg raises, reverse crunch etc..

Good luck, I'm working on mine too ????

I'm a full time single working mom of a 3.5 yearold and I have a very long commute. So it took me 2 years to start fitting in regular excercise. Anyway, I ate at a moderate deficit and ran 20+ miles a week, fat loss helped, but I started seeing my abs (still on top of the pooch at this point, but a huge step in the right direction, 3 vertical lines, one horizontal) when I added strength training. It seems it definitely is a combination of diet and strength and fat loss. I do 3 days of body weight strength for an hour each session. Figure I'll continue with this for a couple of months and then see if I need to switch it up after race season. 3 years ago though, I wouldn't have thought my abs were gone forever and now I think there is hope.

55 and mother of two, never thought to get rid of the mommy pooch. Crunches - both normal and reverse will help firm up the muscles and make it less noticable. The over laying fat in the area is all about the kitchen, calorie deficit!

This.

You can strengthen the underlying muscles, but the fat loss is all diet.

Some exercises to strengthen the core: reverse swiss ball pikes, crunches, hanging leg raises, planking, burpees, skipping rope, Roman chair, weighted side bends, mountain climbers, and ab wheel. But you will only see results when you lose the body fat.

That pooch will go down. You just have to keep eating at a deficit.

mine went down alot in 2 weeks of ripped in 30 then I gave up lol Iv just started day 1 again as I need to lose 2 inches off my waist and it helped tighten my lower pooch up so much
