Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Sharon, I bought an exercise ball over the weekend and love it. I got it at Walmart for $13. It is large like the ones at a local sports store that sell for $50. I asked my Dr. about the exercises for abs and he suggested the ball and so did my trainer at the gym. You have to develop the muscles that are under the fat in your belly. And also burn the fat that sits on those muscles. Granted I will NEVER have a 6 pack, but as long as I know I have ab muscles that are developed that's fine with me. I am wondering if we ever figured out exercises to flatten round bellies? I am sure cardio is needed to burn that fat. And I am reading that crunches may not be the best to flatten the tummy. How about crunches on a ball? I am not interested in surgery but am interested in workouts for a fat tummy. Thanks... Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 My husband said that he read an article in some men's magazine that said the whole six pack abs thing is genetic. You either have them or you don't. It has to do with the way the muscles in your body are formed so some people can do all the ab exercises they can come up with and will still never have the " six pack " .

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Yes, that's *very* true. Brittney Spears is a PERFECT example. She does like 500 crunches every day (different types) and she doesn't have a six-pack. She's have very defined abs, but she's not genetically disposed to have a six-pack.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 I got one the other day, but mine was free. I bought a step for a 100 rep DVD workout that I received the other day (you need something to keep you off the ground for some of the exercises). It was on sale at Big 5 for $29.99 (normally $14.99) and came with a Cathe step video. The ball was on sale for $14.99 (normally $29.99). So it came out to be what I would have paid if I just bought the step. So I look at it as getting the ball for free )!!!!!!!! I didn't even know they were on sale when I went there, I just decided to go ahead and get the step. Then I saw the ball and decided to go ahead and get it. As Mikey says " I did the math " and figured it was worth it. It seemed as good as the balls that weren't on sale, so I went for it.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Yes, I don't think they look right on women either. I think women should just be defined, but not all ripped like that. I don't like those women body builders, I think they look gross. Even male body builders, ICK!!!!!!!!!! Jay & Kris Swofford wrote: Then you look at Janet and she sure does!

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Cardio will burn the fat. Crunches will flatten the supporting muscles. The extra skin on top will hopefully shrink.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 LOL!!!!!!!!!! Good for you. I at one time had been good about working my way up to 100. Started slacking off. Need to get back into it, so I can see what I have under this blubber once it goes away. Tory K wrote: I do 300 crunches a day and I don't even have a can of soda, much less a six pack.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 LOL!!!!!!!! I know what you mean. I'm hoping for that look too. I'm working on it, hope my Wendilee workouts give me what I'm looking for )!!!!!!! Tory K wrote: I like women with really defined arms and shoulders. I think that's very sexy.
