Why is it Hard to Lose Lower Belly Fat

While many people struggle with belly fat, no area in the abdomen causes as much frustration as the lower stomach area. People spend hours doing lower stomach exercises but still hate how it looks.

Why is that? what makes the lower stomach such a hard area to tone down?

A lot of how our lower tummy looks has to do with the modern way of life. Most of us spend many hours each day sitting at work and at home. We hardly walk as straight as we can and should.

This means that throughout the day, the lower stomach muscles are hardly working. I'm talking about day to day activity like walking, sitting, lying down, working, driving, and so on.

While we engage in these day to day activities, our lower abdomen is always relaxed. It is hardly ever straining.

This means that our muscles in that area are just not working as hard as our leg muscles do, for instance (since we operate them while walking). Unless we take specific action to exercise the lower belly, it just doesn't get any stimulation.

This accounts for the fact that in most people, the lower abs are far from toned. You need to work hard on them to do so.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the amount of flab we have in our lower abdomen. Since we can't spot reduce fat from a specific area of our body we don't accumulate fat in our lower stomach because we hardly work that area.

Our genetics are to blame for that.

But because our muscles are naturally less toned in our lower abs, they tend to look saggy and weak.

What can you do about it?

 The first thing you can do is make sure to inclue lower belly exercises in your workout routine. This will help you tone your lower abs so they look firmer, sleeker, and more taut.

The second thing you need to do is simple watch what you eat and engage in exercises which burn the most fat. These exercises include high intensity interval cardio workouts and full body high intensity weight training or bodyweight training.

The third thing is to try and work the lower abs during the day. One way is to simply walk straight. This means the stomach is straining a bit while you walk. Another way is to flex your abs every once in a while even if you're sitting down at work. It can help in the long run.

You may be feeling that this is all hopeless, but I assure you that it's not. You can lose lower belly fat. It's only a matter of burning enough body fat to do so. Once you burn enough fat, your body has no choice but to lose fat from your trouble spots. It's all a matter of time and effort.
