Unfortunately we cannot spot reduce and must train our whole body to be ble to burn more fatty tissue. WHar are you doing and what are you eating? -------------- Beleive you can, and you are halfway there. Ivan Montreal Canada (aka SpongeBob Square Pants to some!)

Training, I do cardio 4x per week, usually on a stationay bike for 30 min. Abs- I stick with crunches, oblique crunches, and leg raises to try to hit my lower abs. I also try to get in a few sets of straight leg dead lifts to work my back.

Are you doing your ab workouts with resistance? I just saw new posts on this. You should work abs 2-3 times a week, at least 1x with resistance. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills
