Anyone had it and fixed it? What works?

Apparently it's about building core strength but what are good exercises to do?

Yep, bulging belly here............

A few years ago I got into fitness and did loads of crunches and leg raises. The lump got worse but I kind of ignored it.

This year it was still there, but starting to hurt a little.

Saw a physio and she gave me some very basic exercises, not the usual stuff, more Yoga/Pilates like. Tense the deep inside abs for a few seconds and release. Lift one leg at a time rather than both etc

It has worked, I still need to be careful how hard I push the abs but it can be reversed!
