Finally! A Solution For the Lower Belly

Let’s talk about a spot that most workouts miss: the lower part of your abs.

That area right below your belly button can be especially stubborn, particularly as hormones shift. It’s one of the most common complaints I hear, and one of the most misunderstood. Keep in mind that you can’t spot-reduce fat, but you can train the muscles underneath it with more intention and precision.

Today’s routine is built around four targeted movements that zero in on this lower region of your abs.

The One Move That Targets Your Most Stubborn Spot

When it comes to training the lower belly, one move stands out above the rest: Reverse Curls. Think of them as a girl's best friend, especially after menopause when that lower belly area becomes even more stubborn. It's the move that works when crunches don't. 

Reverse Curls are exactly what they sound like. Instead of lifting your upper body toward your knees like traditional crunches, you're doing the opposite. You lift your hips and lower body toward your chest using bent knees and a tucked pelvis.

Here's why I'm obsessed with this "reverse" ab exercise... This movement specifically targets the lower portion of your rectus abdominis - that tricky area below your belly button that's so hard to reach with regular ab exercises. 

The results happen when you slow down, stay controlled, and let your abs initiate the lift. Done properly, the Reverse Curl improves posture, enhances pelvic stability, and helps create a flatter waistline over time.
