What's the Fastest Way to Get Rid of Lower Belly Fat?
Your lower belly region can often prove most resistant to weight loss. However, if you want that washboard mid-section, it's crucial to lose that pudge at the bottom of your stomach. By not falling into the common misconceptions, you can have the stomach of your dreams.

Misconceptions
-
Too often people operate under the misconception that if they do countless crunches or sit-ups, they will develop a "six pack." The truth is, crunches and sit-ups only tone your abdominal muscles, but do little to peel the fat away from them. Instead, you need to concentrate on diet and cardio to burn the fat away.
Diet
-
Rather than participate in the latest dieting trend, remove fast food, junk food, and other empty calories from your diet. Choose fresh fruits, vegetables, and foods low in fat. Eating six small meals a day keeps your metabolism going.

Jump Rope
-
Jumping rope may seem like child's play, but it provides one of the best fat-burning, heart-strengthening exercises you can perform.
Power Walk
-
With running can cause such a shock to your knees and other joints, power walking offers a low-impact alternative with essentially the same return. Keeping your hands elevated to promote circulation, take brisk strolls around your neighborhood or local track.
Bike
-
Biking alleviates boredom due to changing scenery. Mix it into your cardio routine and feel the fat melt from your belly as your legs simultaneously get ripped.
Ab-Specific Movements
-
Once you begin melting away the fat from your lower belly with nutrition and cardio, you can start incorporating some ab-specific exercises to replace the fat with toned muscle. Leg raises and bicycle crunches are great for your upper abs, lower abs and obliques, ensuring a toned, balanced mid-section.
