Toning Your Tummy When You've Had Back Surgery?

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone's got any tips on how I could lose weight and tone up my tummy area as I've had spinal surgery and I can't do sit ups/stomach crunches without causing more damage.

I got myself a cross trainer which is really starting to work for my arms and legs, but I can't seem to shift the mummy tummy!

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Kay

    You're really not missing out on much.

    Is this temporary, while you're healing?
