How do i lose my baby belly?

Hi all i was just wondering if there were any exercises i could do to help tone my stomach. Since having my daughter 18 months ago i am worried ill struggle to tone the BABY BELLY back up. I do exercise as often as i can usually on the Wii or at ZUMBA or BOKWA class but im not a fan of pure sit ups. Did or are you doing any abs exercises that may help or are you having the same worries. Thank you for any comments and anyone wanting to add me as a friend is most appriciated.

Honestly i think the best thing is to do sit-ups, it sucks but if you want toned stomach then i guess thats the only way.

ALSO I don't know if you already know this but next time you have another baby, after its born, straight away rap your stomach with a cloth really tight for 2 or 3 months till the tummy is sucked in, this prevents it from sagging. My mum, my friend mum and my mates that have had babies have all done this and they don't have a saggy stomach. Just thought ill share.

You could try this one if you don't want to do sit ups:

- Stand with your feet hip distance apart with shoulders back. Slightly tilt you pelvis forward and hold this position throughout so that your lower back is protected.
- Pull in your tummy muscles as much as possible. Place your hands on your lower tummy ( so you can feel the muscle move in a minute). Now try to draw that lower part up towards the ribcage without crouching over. You should feel that saggy bit where your undies/bikini bottoms go around the top of your leg lift up slightly.
- Once you've mastered the move you can either pulse or hold for whatever you feel comfortable with.

This can be done pretty much anywhere as long as you don't do the facial expressions I come up with whilst doing it!
I have even been known to do blocks of 10 pulses before going to sleep as you can get the muscles working whilst laying down too.

You can't spot reduce! The only way to help your tummy area is to lower your overall body fat percentage.

Good diet and exercise will obviously help....but if you don't have time for lots of exercise and hate doing sit ups, how about buying one of those stomach/abdominal belt thingies and use it whilst dieting, it may help.
