If your diet isnt clean (high protein/mod carbs/low fat) all the ab work in the world wont help. And that is a really stubborn area for bodyfat(that is where the cardio helps). It just doesnt want to leave. Add some resistance to at least one of your ab sessions and look at your diet. Good luck. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Do not be discouraged; everyone who got where he is, started where he was.--anon ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills
