The most common stubborn area is the lower abdominal area, especially after having 3 babies. The key to strong and sculpted abs are diet and exercise.
#1 A low carb diet and lots of water to reduce body fat
#2 HIIT training 3 days/week for 20 minutes to reduce body fat
#3 Specific lower ab exercises
If you are doing ab work now, this is a guideline to determine if you are working upper or lower abs:
Upper abs - Top-down ab exercises that typically involve bringing your shoulders toward your hips, e.g. crunches or sit ups
Lower abs - Bottom-up ab exercises that typically involve bringing your hips towards your shoulders, e.g. leg raises
The 3 best and simple lower ab exercises are:
1. Reverse Crunches

Remember abs are made in the kitchen not in the gym, however when you combine a clean diet, exercises that isolate the abdominal muscles, sleep 7-9 hours, manage stress, the results are amazing.
