How to flatten lower abs, after losing 22pounds and still not lost the tummy flab?
I am 24/M/5ft6"
Sep 10 , 2009:
weight : 181 pounds / 82.4 kg ; waist : 39.5" (measured 1" below navel) ; fat percentage – 31 % ; bmi : 30

I had never worked out before and i started working ou to lose weight from Sep 3rd week 2009 .

My routine :

daily – 30mins walk on TM at 6.0kph (Approx burns 180 cal) + 30 mins to 40 mins on Elliptical (efx) at resistance 5 & level 5 (Burns approx 450 cal)
& alternate between ab workout (Floor exercises) and weights on alternate days !

My weight routine :

Weights , i do basic stuff with two plates
(Pushups modified 12+10)
(Swissball squats 12+10)
(Lunges 12+10)
Shoulder press (5 kg , 12+10)
Biceps (2 plates , 12+10)
rowing (70$ , 12+10)
Leg Press (115 $ , 12+10)
Leg curl , Leg extension (2 plates , 12+10)
Calf rise (free weights , 12+10)

My ab workout :

forward crunches , 10*3
Side crunches (10*3)(where u bend both ur knee to one side and then crunch)
Reverse crunches (10*3)(raising the legs widout bending the knee)
& side bends (15*2 sets with two plates/15$)

Dec 15 , 2009 :

Weight : 159 $ (I have lost 10.5kg / 22 $) in 3 months with above routine .
Waist size – 37" (measured 1" below navel)
Upper abs: 33”(Measured 3 “ above the navel) ; bmi : 26 , fat % – 26 %

My issue :
=>I have not lost a single $ (not even 100 gms) since i reached 159 $ (2 weeks without weight loss)

=> Ugly lower AB bulge
Though I am really happy to have lost 22 $ , my figure looks ugly presently , the reasons being , my upper abs , chest fat have all vanished while flab / bulge on the lower abs in perfectly intact . This appears as if my belly is protruding more than before I lost weight and it also hangs down slightly.

Also , the elliptical / TM shows that i burn much lesser calories nowadays for the same duration

My target :

Target weight : 144 pounds , 32 " waist (measured 1" below navel)

My query :

1.Is my present workout routine correct ?

2. Why am i not losing weight any more ?

3. ~*most important*~ How do i get rid of the terrible bulge / flab on the lower ab so that it does not appear ugly ?

4. Should i continue doing my cardio or any changes reqd ?

5. How can i make my belly appear flat ?

6. I get highly fatigued after 30 mins of cardio since past two weeks.. How can i correct the same

I would really really be thankful to friends who could help me here on …

Thanks & Kind regards

P.S. : I maintain a healthy diet with 1400-1600 cal intake/day

im trying to loose atleast 5-10 lbs before june 2 so i have 8 weeks

and also i need a flat stomach
the part i need to work on the most is my lower abs so more excercises on that

please any suggestions to get a flatter stomach before june 2 and what i should do to change my "diet"

ive been doing the eliptical machine for 20 mins on the cardio level and then i go do other weights and machines and then i walk for 15 mins (should i incline it?) and then bike for 15 mins on the weight lose program…im 137 lbs ..i no muscle weighs more than fat so if i dont actually lose "weight" thats ok i just need to have my stomach flatter

ive been doing this every other days but ive only done 3 days so far….is yoga good? and how about pilates? ive done that but i havent really seen too much of a diffrence

I already have the start of one and I’m pretty lean, so fat isnt a problem. What are the workouts I can do to tone my upper and lower abs and have a six-pack fast?

I’ve been searching some videos how to get rid of belly fats! But I was just wonder, when you do Cardio Workout, for 10 minutes, those that get rid of your belly fats, and give you lower abs or packs?

i just want to know what good diet plan should i follow to flatten my stomach and can you give me extreme exercises for my upper and lower abs and my obliques too, and also if you know some sites that preview some exercises for the abs please let me know.thanks in advance

Just in case if you don’t understand what i mean when i say slim your lower abs i’m saying what would help them to become abs if they aren’t abs it’s just fat?

How can I flatten my lower abs? I’m not overweight, but I would like to tone up, and I carry weight especially in my stomach and hips. My lower abdomen looks "poochy" Eh. Any suggestions?
Thanks
