The lower abdomen is a reservoir of natural fat and an extremely difficult place to tone up, so it can be quite difficult to get rid of lower abdominal fat. Regular crunches and sit-ups are not enough to get rid of lower abdominal fat. The key is to train the lower abs with specific exercises to strengthen the muscles and eliminate fat. The right exercises, along with a healthy diet and cardio routine, will help you overcome that stubborn belly fat.
a
Adjust your diet to include more vegetables and lean protein and less fat and sugar. Lean proteins help you build muscle and burn fat in your lower abdomen. Even if you simply cut your fat and sugar intake in half, it will make a big difference in your fight against stubborn lower belly fat.
two
Do at least half an hour of cardio three times a week. Walking, jogging, biking, and dancing are all great options. By doing cardio, you’ll lose that extra layer of fat that’s hiding your abs.

Work your lower abs to strengthen the muscle wall and burn belly fat. Do a few reps of scissors after your cardio workout. Lie on your back with your hands under your buttocks. Raise your legs about a foot off the ground. Tighten your abs and move your legs in a criss-cross motion: move your right leg over your left, then spread them apart and move your left leg over your right. Be careful not to bend your knees. Do about 10 to 15 reps.

Do a few reps of reverse crunches with both legs. Lie on your back with your hands behind your buttocks as in step 3. Lift your legs off the floor and bend your knees. Keeping your knees bent, slowly lower your feet until they are three inches off the floor, hold this position for a few seconds, then return to the starting position. Do about 10 to 15 reps.

Complete your abs workout with a set of Pilates 100. Lie on your back with your arms at your sides. Raise your legs straight up at a 45-degree angle. Keep your arms straight and lift them a few inches off the floor. Tighten your abs and lift your shoulders a few inches off the floor. Hold this position and start moving your hands up and down as you count to 100.
