Why shouldn't she be doing sit ups?

[Guest guest]

My Mother is going away to Fiji in a few months, and she feels

really conscious about her tummy. I've told her that she should

*not* be doing sit-ups (old school) for obvious reasons, but what do

I tell her instead? I'd really like to get her started on something

around the house that will assist with fat-loss, since she can't

spot reduce her tummy. Can anyone suggest anything? I was thinking

maybe something with cans of food for weights..??

Here is a link to an in-home strength training program using common

pantry kitchen items: http://www.janatrains.com/default.asp?

Your mom cant spot reduce but by gaining a bit of muscle she will

burn off bodyfat all over including that tummy roll. ;-)

because it would be too easy to do herself a back injury. crunches

yes, but not sit-ups. but also because you can't spot reduce. and

if she's only going to do a few exercises, then maybe she'd be

better off working her big muscles like legs, to hopefully burn more

fat.
