Step 1: It's time to make a change! Lower belly pooch (especially in women) is a toughie and lifestyle change may be in order. Start drinking more water and begin a moderate cardio routine. You can't spot reduce fat, so you're going to have to lose overall bodyfat in order to pinpoint that pooch. (Goal: 30 minutes of moderate cardio (walking, jogging, eliptical) five days a week).
Step 2: Toning it up! Concentrate on exercises that engage the lower abs first. Basically, work from the bottom up. Hanging in a pull up position and pulling your knees to your chest is a good one...or lying on your back with a swiss ball between your feet and, while keeping your legs straight, lift the ball toward the ceiling.
Step 3: Stick to it! It takes 3 weeks or 21 days to form a habit...when it comes to your pooch YOU WILL SEE RESULTS IN JUST THREE WEEKS! But max results won't show for 6 to 8 weeks. If you're making a lifestyle change, and you stick to a healthy routine, you will simply be 'maintaining' after that.
Here are some links to youtube videos that will help you tone those lower abs!
