its almost spring break.and i am looking to lose a few pounds...any tips?!!!?

Question

I have been eating healthier, and working out, but i really don't feel like anything is happening.Anyone have any tips? And this may sound weird, but does anyone know an excercise that works your lower abs, the little "pouch" at the bottom of your stomach? haha..anything is appreciated! :]

Answer 1

The best way to work your lower abs is crunches. Lie on the floor, elevate your legs on something like a chair (this takes stress off your back) then suck your abs in as you perform the crunch. Do not keep your back straight. Instead, try to curl up like a snail. Also, crunches should not be performed every day. That will make your abs larger. Perform crunches every other day.

As far as losing a few pounds, you are on the right track. A healthy diet. In addition to this, you should engage in cardiovascular workouts every day. Things like jogging, biking, whatever you prefer. Try to workout for 30 mins and you should get good results.

Answer 2

Roman Chair sit ups will work the length of your abs (do the sit ups off a chair so that your head will be lower than your hips when all the way down...can use an inclined bench for more back support)

South Beach diet drops weight say 5lbs a week in phase 1:

basics: no carbs or sugar and eat snacks between your major meals. Phase 2 adds good carbs and fruits and whole grain breads. The book gives much better detail and meal plans to work with.

Answer 3

If ur in the situation like me and u have 2 or 3 weeks to drop 15 pounds, try not eating meat for that time period unless ur already vegetarian then u can just not eat as much. Also the "little pouch" can go away with leg lifts. u know where u lay on the ground and keep ur whol body on the ground except ur legs. that will tone the lower abs, butt, and upper thigh areas.

Answer 4

Maybe go to a nutrition,eat more healthy like fruits and vegetables,or stop drinking soda and drink water or juices like orange,apple,carrot,or salary juice.Also do some exercises like going to your local gym,play soccer,play basket ball,play baseball,or play football.Well try this out but try it slowly but don't do that much exercise or your going to get tired and quit on your diet.
