Belly and exercises

[Nikita786]

After 3 kids (one was 4.5 kilo) my belly is...not perfect. Thus, if I lay down on the back I could easily move 40 times my body up, could go to 100 if necessary. Thus, the belly is still here. Does it mean I have good muscles or not? Should I do other belly exercises or should I do more? I feel there is some fat to lose, but not so much and when I relax belly muscles and if underwear is low - belly goes down over it. That is not nice, I can not wear bikini.
Anyone knows about such things? What should I do?

No, I lay down on the back, put arms/hands behind my head and lift my head+body till sitting position, then go down, then repeat - so, 40 times easily, till 100 no problem. My BMI is now normal, I've just lost some kilos, but wonder about my muscle tonus.

The question is  - does it mean my belly muscles are OK or do I need more training? In case I do - which one? To increase it till 200?

I don't understand what you mean by "if I lay down on the back I could easily move 40 times my body up, could go to 100 if necessary"    Could you explain that?  Are you referring to lifting weights?

There comes a time when we all should not wear a bikini, but if your belly hangs over your underwear, most likely, you need to lose some of it. Although you can't "spot reduce", good all over exercise and a healthy diet, should help tone the muscles.

Walking is an excellent exercise for overall weight loss and muscle toning; as is yoga.
