How can you lose fat from above the belly button?
I don’t really have a problem getting my lower stomach into shape, but I can’t lose the fat from the section right above my belly button. What kind of specific exercises can be used to get rid of that? I already do lots and lots of sit-ups/crunches (both with my legs in the air and on the ground) but I can’t seem to get rid of that!
Any ideas?

a common misconception is that you can choose where fat is lost at.
in all truth, exercise and your body loses fat as it needs to. your best bet is to just stay very active and do cardio to help your heart

Do a “on the ball” routine . Worked wonders for me after 3 kids.

Diet Diet!! You can not spot reduce fat, except for lipo ( which I do not recommend ).
You need to eat 5-6 small meals a day. Eat some protein with each meal! Cut out all refined sugar!!! Then exercise regularly 4-5 days a week. Do both cardio and lifting. But on days that you do both. Do lifting before your cardio and you will maximize your fat burn.
So Example :
Monday – 30 mins lifting then 1 hr cardio
Tuesday – 1 hour lifting
Wednesday – Rest
Thrusday – 30 mins lifting then 1 hr cardio
Friday – 1 hour lifting
Saturday – Rest
Sunday – 30 mins lifting then 1 hr cardio
