For one thing, spot reduction isn't possible. As I've said in some other answers, people are genetically predispositioned to carry and lose weight in certain areas of the body more than others. Exercises for the lower abs will tone the muscle underneath the fat, but won't get rid of the fat itself. For that you need a healthy diet and cardiovascular exercise. A good exercise to tone that particular muscle however is the reverse crunch. Lay on your back, and bring your knees up to a 45 degree angle. You can place a light weight between the knees here to add some resistance if so desired. With the arms flat on the floor and your head and shoulders on the floor, use your lower abs to lift your hips off the floor, bringing the knees toward you a bit. Don't use momentum or the legs to do this. Make sure to do it slowly and isolate the lower abs so that you'll really feel it. I'd say do as many of these as you can handle, but most people typically do sets of 12-15. If you can't do as many at first, that's fine, but if you can do more, that's fine too. There are numerous other exercises. I have found that pilates is particularly helpful in toning the abdominal muscles, as it's exercises focus on core stregnth. Hope that helps!

1 How old are you? How old were you when you started breaking out? I'm 18 now. I started breaking out when I was 16. Never really had much acne before then. 2 Is your skin always clear, do you get spots sometimes, or do you almost always have a breakout? I get pimples near my period. I usually get one of two somewhere around my mouth, and maybe the odd one around my forehead. They usually clear up once my period's done though. 3 What face wash do you use? Clean and Clear Morning Burst (the purifying one in the blue bottle). 4 Do you use face masks or scrubs or anything? What kind? I use St. Ives products for this. I use their clay firming mask at night (sometimes I skip it, but I try to do it quite a few nights a week). I also use their Apricot scrub once or twice a week. 5 What brand make up do you wear? What do you wear (foundation, concealor?, ect) Just drug store brands. I like Maybelline and Cover Girl products. I change the brand I use frequently because I'm looking for the best product for my skin (most of the best products I've used are Cover Girl). 6 How much makeup do you wear? Usually just concealer, foundation, and a bit of mascara. Sometimes some eyeshadow too. 7 What spot treatments do you use? Clean and Clear Persa-Gel 5. I put that on any pimples before I go to bed. 8 Do you eat junk food or healthy? I eat both healthy foods and junk food. Probably a bit too much junk food, but oh well. I also drink a lot of water. Water's a big help.

If it was EASY how would it work?
Challenge yourself a little! Don't do something cause it's easy..do something because it challenges you, and it WORKS.
Let me put it this way.
Would you want to buy an ab video that was easy..but didn't work very well..or would you want to buy an ab video that works, but challenges yourself? Your basically just wasting your time buying the easy one

Lay on your back with your legs on chair, feet crossed
do 10 crunches
turn on your left side, but keep feet flat and crosses on the chair, do 10 more
repeat with right side.
Stay where you are do 10 where your top body stayes laid down and you just pick your butt up off the ground with your legs straight up in the air.

Repeat as many times as you can until you can REALLY feel it in your tummy =)
