I had a baby 3 months ago by c-section and still have a little extra baggage on my lower stomach. How can I get rid of it? What are some exercises that I can do to get rid of it and can I since I had major abdominal surgery?
Gotta tell you, 100 situps wont affect the fat content of a body.The baggage you mention is the layer most women, men tend to store it on hips, have on the stomach area.To reduce this excess fuel [ thats what fat stores are to us ] you have to utilse the large muscle groups of the body ie legs primarily, for minimum 20 mins. As you've just had a baby, the eliptical machines at gyms[ the ones that look kinda like ski-ing] are a really good option 4 you, low impact, large muscle use and strenghthening of ab area. The C-section has damaged your abs, so work on this area is also vital to you, but dont work on them too hard too soon.Listen to your body & distinguish between muscle pain & damage[ scar] pain. If the gym is not an option for you now you have a kid. put him/her in the pram , go for a 25 min walk.Do it bout 3 times a week. keep your diet[ i assume its good!?] the same, & your output has to exceed your input so ..yeh! your weight should change.
Ist ab for you, lie on ground place hands on thigh & slide to top of knee or as far as you can.Legs in the bent postion .Supports the body until you have more strength. bout 4 times of , say 10 repetitions.
hope it helps!

Before doing any abdominal exercises best to check with your doctor. c/s is a major operation and healing takes time compared to normal delivery.
way to deal with those excess baggage would be through cardio and abdominal exercises. try visiting this site, it especially deals with postpartum abdominal exercises: http://www.targetwoman.com. Good luck

most people dont have abs you just can't see them through the fat just doing sit ups wont give you a 6 pack running is one of the best ways to loose wieght doing sit ups will just make your abdominal muscles stronger however good ab work outs would be crunches sit ups putting you feet at 15 and 90 degree angles during sit ups(you can find detials on doing these correctly if you google them) dont do russian twists though they cause damage to your spine and arent very affect if you want to work out your obliques or love handles lay down on your side and do a kind of sideways sit up again googling it or maybe going to youtube incase you dont totally get it

Brisk walking is great for burning tummy fats.
It is my lifestyle now. I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs/14kg and gained better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs/49kg for more than a year, with more fruits and complex carbs.
Details such as my experience, meals, snacks, recipes, foods to buy, reading labels, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc, are in my blog
