Exercises to tone the ol' stomach

[Wgbem 138]

I know there will be some hanging but does anyone have any exercises or machines at the gym that they could recommend to tone the abdomen particularly the lower abdomen?

You can build core strength but it's not actually possible to spot tone a part of your body. I do believe that exercise in general will help in the battle against loose skin but I also take the attitude that loose skin won't kill me (and can be fixed) but morbid obesity is a shortcut to the grave.

Core and Ab work will pay HUGE daily dividends from a "Functional Fitness" perspective. It won't really effect extra skin - also you can't "spot workout" for visual - to see the abs requires very low body fat - accept for a few genetic freaks ; )

This is a great Link with safe n specific workouts.
