Hiya ladies. I have recently lost some weight from my stomach but unless i tone up the skin is going to be flabby. Any advice on toning the tummy? biggrin.gif biggrin.gif laugh.gif

yes but i dont think it will be cheap, a runner has a book out im useless and cant remember who she has ways to help,

if you cant do that then i suggest 10 sit ups morning and night and increase as your stomach muscles get stronger ?

Swimming is great for this, it tones up all the muscles and the skin to. also Vitamin E cream is great for any stretch marks on the skin. dollchitchat/pompomgirl.gif dollchitchat/pompomgirl.gif
two years ago I used to swim for one hour three four times a week, lost weight and toned up muscles and skin.

dollchitchat/addemoticons1391.gif yep Sit ups and stretches for the waist will do it

I always measure everything before i start and then record it every week to see what the differnence is - motivates you no end

Drink loads of water - this gets rid of the orange peel look and makes the skin radient - and its free

I had a treadmill - but it can take ages to see results so hubby uses it

I had a gravity walker which was the best piece of kit i ever ever bought - it was brill - but i thought id outgrown it and so bought a gazelle but that was awful so i bought an elliptical trainer and that was useless so guess what???

Last month i bought the strider gravity walker again - bargain off ebay BRAND NEW from a sports retailer too - 29.85 and 20 postage and i use it for 30 mins a day and ive lost 6lbs,

I have thighs that can crush walnuts !!! a bum that has my hubby drooling, a stomach that i can rest my cup of tea on, and the old arms and bust have firmed up too.

All joking aside its a brill piece of kit and whats more its great fun - i dont even know im on it - music blaring and i have even invented some inner thigh toning methods as well

Id recomend it - If you lived nearer you could come have a try lol

If you dont want to spend money - i can scan some tummy excercises from my rosemary connolly and bikini diet books for you they really do the biz - when im trying to get toned for my hols i use both the excercises from the book ( only ten mins a day) and my strider

Sorry to waffle - hope this helps
