\u201cApron belly\u201d fat<\/a> refers to extra fat or skin in the lower abs region that hangs over the pelvis. It\u2019s often caused by substantial weight loss or gain, aging, pregnancy, or genetics, and can be incredibly frustrating to deal with\u2014sometimes even leading to skin irritation and discomfort. To help flatten, tone, and strengthen your midsection<\/a>, we spoke with Steve Stonehouse, NASM-CPT<\/b><\/a> and VP of education for Body Fit Training<\/a>, who shares a three-move ab combo workout<\/a> you can seamlessly weave into your fitness routine.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny exercise that targets your core\u2014including your abs, hip flexors, obliques, glutes, and more\u2014is going to be helpful for sculpting and defining your abdomen,\u201d Steve explains. \u201cBurning belly fat<\/a> is best done through cardio, such as running or cycling, but strength training can also contribute to belly fat burn by building lean muscle and improving your metabolism.\u201d<\/p>\n

Below, Steve breaks down his top-recommended three-move ab combo. The best part? These exercises are low-impact. You can safely perform them every other day, and they always make for effective additions to the last five to 10 minutes of workouts.<\/p>\n
