I would like to get a flatter tummy.
I know sit ups are the best idea but I (as many of you know) have a bad back (coccyx) and after trying to do even one I end up nearly in tears so they are sadly a no no.
I know swimming is good for your tum, but I cannot unfortunately afford to go swimming anymore
So any ideas?

excuses excuses :no:
I have absolutly nothing remotely useful to say . . . ever.
I know - you are just mean!!!
Stace - I know that, but I am losing weight but I would like to be a little more toned (as well as less flabby ) around the tummy area.
What exercises do people do at Legs Bums and Tums? I dont think my exercise bike is working my tummy, so thats no good.
and you figured that out HOW? :razz:
ETA: did you try it?
was what i was thinking :chin:
That is a dirty lie. I can do about 25 "normal" sit-ups before I get too tired but I can only manage 2 on those wanking things before it destroys any energy I may have had. Although to be fair I did do it straight after almost killing myself on the treadmill.
Also - you don't really *need* to lose weight to get a flatter tummy. I have lost weight, but not masses, and tbh my flatter tummy is mostly because I've stopped eating stuff that makes me bloated on a regular basis. I know this because I still get a monster tummy when I come on my period :grump:.
Exercise balls are just good to sit on like if your watching tv. You have too keep your balance more and use your core muscles meaning stonger tummy muscles :thumb:
Not quite correct. You need to lose BODY FAT, not 'weight'.
Try this quick but extremely effective ab workout to hit your muscles hard. RAWR.
Strange!!
That looks ok (I know it wont be, but I am kidding myself) so I may invest in a ball and try out a few of them moves
It will hurt like high hell if you're doing it right. :thumb: Both go_away and I have done this workout (and neither of us are exactly out of shape) and I know I was sore for 2-3 days afterwards.
Make sure you have correct form - watch the video closely. Get somebody to check your form if needs be.
Oh dear god! haha! Thanks
Honestly though - it's worth it.
Following plans by trainers that are recognised to be successful is always a hell of a lot better than just going into the gym blindly and thinking what you are going to be doing will be correct.
if only it stayd like that after i took the box off :rolleyes:
