hey guys dr. Berg here in this video I’m going to talk about the worst exercise

for that lower belly fat especially the flabby loose skin and the lower part of

your stomach okay and that would be sit ups and this goes against so many

different philosophies right because think about it when you’re doing sit ups

yes you’re getting the abdominal muscles contracted but that skin is getting

looser okay so I’m going to show you a better exercise and then as a reverse

sit up okay as you can see in the demonstration to my left you out you

want to actually go backwards you want to tighten up your abdomen muscles and

then you want to stretch backwards okay and you want to do that about 25 times

if you have lower back pain go really really light maybe you start off like

five or seven or maybe ten times and then you rest for a little bit because

sometimes when you’re going back you can hurt yourself but typically most people

actually don’t have a problem with this okay so you want to do sets of 25 rest

for about 3 or 4 minutes and then do 25 rest for about 3 or 4 minutes and then do 25

more 3 sets every single day what’s going to happen is you are going to

stretch that skin okay so it’s called the subcutaneous fat underneath there the

loose skin and the collagen and the the tissue on the surface of the abdomen

you’re going to stretch that out going back and what’s going to happen is it’s

going to get toner and toner and toner now what happens with people doing

regular sit ups is they’re trying to lose their belly fat and they do mass

amounts of sit-ups so they get the abdomen really really strong and they

start to go like this but they don’t reverse it and get the opposite muscle

so they have an imbalance real strong abdomen muscles very weak back and so

they get back pain so this would be a really good exercise for you to do even

if you did sit-ups ok you want to reverse it and you can either lay on

your stomach and arch back up ok but the key is if you’re doing a lot of sit-ups

do the opposite stretch but this specific exercise is really good for the

loose skin and the lower part of your stomach that little pooch that it’s very

hard to tighten all right I will see you in the next video hey guys thanks for
