Lets make this clear to begin with. I know there is nothing such as spot reduction and I don't expect anything.
I am looking for exercises to HELP flatten my tummy and tighten my core.
Even when I was back in my teens at high school and had a BF of less than 10% (Gods those were the days) I have had a 'pot' belly.' type thing happening.
So what can this magnificent community suggest??

    Clean diet and cardio/weights to burn the fat and thats about all you can do.

    You can do ab work till your blue in the face, but if the fat is still there all your going to have is really strong ab muscles.

    The 30 day shred really helped mine disappear! But I had to eat clean to achieve it. Good luck!

    Pilates was the best thing for my belly, it really helps flatten your belly, and give you the core muscles you are looking for. Also helps with posture etc.

    Cardio, cardio, cardio! Eat clean, drink plenty of water. It is HARD work but worth it, I am in the process myself and these love handles are taking forever! but I am running 6-12kms a day as well as weight training

    Thanks for all the advice, but maybe I wasn't clear enough.
    I am not talking about getting rid fo the fat on my abs, I know that will come with time.

    I am asking for exercises, that will help tighten and hopefully flatten the mid section. I know I am capable of a flat mid section even with the current BF levels I have now, but I don't have one and I have no idea of the exercises to help me in the right direction.
