Part 2 of “Stop doing crunches for your lower pooch” (save part 1 if you missed it 👇)

The #1 mistake I see: your belly pushes OUT when you do ab work. Especially after pregnancy or a C-section, that bulge means your deep core isn’t supporting the move. Doing more reps that way can keep the pooch hanging around.

The fix:
1️⃣ Exhale first
2️⃣ Gently draw your belly in and up
3️⃣ THEN move, slowly

If you still see a ridge or bulge down the middle, scale it back. It may be diastasis recti, and that’s exactly what I help clients with.

Part 3 is coming: what to eat for a flatter-feeling belly. Follow so you don’t miss it.

Your lower belly pooch isn’t always fat, especially after pregnancy or a C-section.

Often it’s a deep core that isn’t firing well, plus posture that pushes your belly forward. Crunches won’t fix that.
Try these 3 moves 3x a week:
- Back + glutes: 10 reps
- Deep core: 10 each side
- Balance plank: 20-30 seconds

And the honest truth: no exercise burns belly fat in one spot. Strength + the right nutrition is what changes it.
