how do i get rid of my lower belly pouch after three pregnancies?

Question

i've have being doing 100 sit-ups for 2 months now and there has been no changes so far.

Answer 1

Depends on how you do your situps.

Lie on your kitchen floor, knees up, feet up under the bottom of the kitchen counter cabinet. Arms across your upper chest.

Raise your upper back 1/4 up off the floor. FEEL your stomach muscles shake. HOLD yourself off the floor for 20 seconds. Lower yourself down to the floor. Do every OTHER day. Mon-Wed-Fri.

Do not put your hands behind your head; if you do; then you are pulling yourself up.

Do not go higher than 1/4 of the way up. If you do, your sides and back are holding you up, not your stomach. Try this; go up 1/4 of the way; feel your stomach shake. Then go up higher; your stomach stops shaking!!

That is because your sides and back are now doing the work, not your stomach.

Another method; standing situps;

Get two big pails, put water in each. Lift and HOLD them for 60 seconds, bent over, knees bent, elbows bent. This PULLS your stomach in. Do Mon-Wed-Fri. Add more water each week to the pails. When the pails are full of water, slowly start adding white sand to the water in the pails.

Include aerobics and stretching to make the metabolism work faster so the results will come quickly. Jumping Jacks is the best aerobics exercise. Do intervals of 10, 10 10, all day long. Not all at once. Too intense.

Give yourself about 3 months to see the results. Great results in a year.

PS You can teach your children these, too. I started my son at age 5 on weightlifting. He is now 15 and still lifting.

Answer 2

Building the ab muscles would help tighten it, and to do that you need to do fewer, weighted situps. High rep low weight isn't good for building muscle, just burning calories. To build muscle, you want low rep, high weight. Do 3 sets of 10 situps monday wednesday friday with as much weight on your chest as you can and still be able to finish the last situp. It's good to always try and improve yourself but just from a guys point of view a little bit of a pouch and some stretch marks are totally acceptable on a mom, they're not as big a deal to us as they seem to be to you, just part of womanhood/motherhood, at least you don't have to worry about going bald.

Answer 4

You won't see changes that quickly. It is best to give your entire body a workout. This link discusses situps limitations and other things to do. Exercise is basically a lifestyle.
