Hi everyone,

I was seeing trainer but havent in a bit so I been doing the gym and running. I was wondering if anyone has good at home abdominal exercises they can share. I do plank on the ball and ball situps now.

Thanks for the help.

The plank and variations is the best exercise!

I do one on the ground, where you do a plank on your hands, then go down one side at a time, onto your elbows, then back up to hands, back down to elbows etc. Side planks too.

Also, man pushups make my abs really sore, it really targets your core, just like planks do.

That and plenty of running, and I've never found a real need for crunches and sit ups. I have very strong, flat abs.

If you do DVD's, I use "The Firm" they have one just for core and abs--www.thefirmdirect.com

Your weight loss is great! :biggrin: We are kindred soul--started at the same size and have lost about the same amount, except my 80 something lbs includes 30lbs on the six month supervised diet.

Thinking of getting a personal trainer this summer--did you find it helpful?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
