Stomach exercises?

[KerryBeary85 2]

Anyone know of any good exercises to get a flatter tummy? I've been working my butt off at the gym to tighten up my extra skin on my stomach & get rid of my muffin top but Im not having much luck. It's not bad enough to have the extra skin removed but I wanna look good when I have to take my shirt off. Any pointers?

My trainer has me doing planks to help with the core. They definitely target the abs! Plus we do sit ups while tossing the medicine ball back and forth, those are a workout!

Awesome Im gonna try the sit ups w the med ball, planks sound super hard, but Im gonna work up to those

Core workouts will give you muscle but my nut told me the only way to burn belly fat is cardio.

I think its also good to vary the exercises. I've been doing cardio, yoga, ballet and pilates. Time will tell!

it's best to do cardio until you get to the weight you want and then work the muscles cause muscles weight more than fat.

I was 300 lbs got to 240 doing this

Mon a full cardio hard cardio too a class for a hour intense

I did a hour after that on the treadmill

Tues I did a cardio kick boxing class and a weight class body pump

Wed I did a hour spin class cardio and a hour on the treadmill

Thur same as Tues

Fri same as Wed

Sat same as Tues

I will say the weight classes made the difference! I was in a 16 at 240 lbs and I am 5-2. The

Weight lifting condenses your body. Muscle may weigh more but it is better to be toned and

Fit vs flabby. My friend lost 150 lbs doing cardio until she neared a goal weight. She fought

With the scale as we worked out like beasts but the scale wasn't moving much or going up

Some. It will go up at first as your muscles tear from the work out and retain Water but that is

Ok. You need to measure your body and not focus just on the scale.

Excess skin will happen to some not everyone. But I would never suggest to hold off on

Weight lifting and just doing cardio. Plus muscle burns fat I will take that added fat burner

And a toned body any day. My mom swears by swimming for cardio too.

Good luck!

just going by what a certified doctor in a certified instructor said

My trainers say that weights are more important than cardio. So if anything, you should start weights as soon as you can. I do circuit training, it's working very well
