How to lose hanging belly

Hanging belly

- 

A hanging belly—often referred to as a "pooch," "lower belly pouch," or medically as abdominal over-hang—can be a frustrating and stubborn feature for many. Whether it’s the result of aging, pregnancy, rapid weight loss, or sedentary habits, it’s both a physical and emotional concern. The good news is, it can be improved, though not by magic pills or miracle gadgets. Here’s what really works, and what you should avoid.

A hanging belly is often the result of excess subcutaneous fat, weak abdominal muscles, and sometimes loose skin, especially after significant weight loss or childbirth. It’s important to identify which of these factors is most relevant for you. A visit to your doctor or a certified fitness professional can help assess this.
