A program that: Exercises your abdominal muscles will help muscle tone, but you lose fat by losing weight (3500 calories to the pound) and it is difficult to tell your body when to pull the fat from. Abdominal exercise can improve the muscles in your abdomen below the fat, and improve your physique. Since you are not overweight, I am concerned about your body image.

Consult With a: plastic surgeon to determine what your options might be. If your rectus abdominis muscles are separated, you might want to consider a tummy tuck to repair the muscle. If not, abdominal targeted exercises may be your answer. Or it could be that there is a small pocket of stubborn fat that could be eliminated with liposuction. http://www.cosmeticsurg.net/blog/2009/07/07/flat-stomach-more-exercise-or-a-tummy-tuck/
