what are some good exercises for the lower belly area ? besided crunches and sit-ups ?
First of all sit ups and crunches do nothing, scientist proved that no matter how many you go you barely have any ab muscles working and straining your back. I am in colorguard and we do pilates:
The hundred: Lay on the floor with your hands on the side of you flat on the ground. Left your legs together up at a 45 degree angle and flex your feet, with your legs turned out and your heels should be touching. Now left your shoulders and upper back from off the floor. This should tighten the ab muscles. Now bring your arms up on the side of you about 6 inches off the ground. Now while counting to one hundred ,pump your arms up and down. Remember to breath in for 5 counts then release for 5 counts. When you get to 80, slow the tempo down until you get to 100. When you get to one hundred, DO NOT RELAX!!! Keep your shoulders and upper back off the ground, your around still off the ground and your legs still flexed at that 45 degree angle. Now point your feet, legs still turned out and heels still touching and hold for 15 seconds. Then lower in 8 counts with control still holding your abs and slowly place them on to the floor then release.
If you need more excrises just funmail me, I do them everyday. ^.^

a good trick is to lay on your back with your hands on your sides and slowley lift both legs up off the ground. moving them up and down but not quite touching the ground.for starters, put your hands under your booty. Do 10-30 reps. this worked for me, I hope it does for you. but remember; its pointless if you eat junk!!
crunches don't really work for your lower abs. go on youtube and look up 6 pak in 6 min. it has the best workouts I've ever done. but the workouts arn't exactly for begginers
LIE ON THE FLOOR AND RAISE YOUR LEGS 6INCHES FROM THE FLOOR AND HOLD IT FOR 30 SEC. DO IT ABOUT 15 TO 20 TIMES. IT WORKS
jackknife - lie on the floor raise your arms an legs in the air to form a v shap hold for 15 seconds
I do crunches then I hold myself at a halfway point for a min. trust me it helps but it hurt a lot
