I'm getting a personal trainer in the fall, but till then it's just me so I need some help! I have a lot of fat on my stomach especially the sides(lovehandles) and I want to lift my butt and make it firm. Right now I'm doing situps the kind Brittany Spears does you touch your knees? I do not know what to call them. I'm also doing the scissor leg thing. I don't think this is targeting the sides of my stomach. Also how do I lift and firm my butt?
