0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. |
0:07.9 | Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
0:15.1 | Hi guys, in this video we're going to talk about the best exercise for that lower belly |
0:26.1 | pooch that flap in your lower part of your stomach. |
0:30.1 | So many people go to the gym and they're doing massive amounts of sit-ups, and that's fine, |
0:35.7 | but it doesn't necessarily get rid of that looseness, that loose skin or little flap in |
0:40.4 | the lower part right here, because if you think about it, when you do a sit-up, you are |

1:30.8 | you're going back and you're not used to it, so make sure that when you do this you tighten |
1:34.4 | your butt muscles up just to keep that area very, very stable. |
1:38.3 | Now the next day if you're sore, of course, weight to your not sore, maybe do it every |
