Berry's bare belly challenge - June edition

BerryH

BerryH ,,thank you,trying to get definition in my abs now,doing lots of ab exercises,this will motivate me even more to see what the difference will be in a month,,I cant seem to make my picture smaller,any ideas?

I use Microsoft Paint that you should have free under Start -> All programs -> Accessories or I think you can download it. Go to image -> stretch/skew and change the horizontal and vertical to the same percentage, say 50% to make it half the size.

There's resizing in Photobucket too but I haven't played with that yet.

Getting definition anywhere on the body, including abs is about reducing the body fat. Doing lots of abs exercises is not bad but it won't necessarily help you to achieve your goals. Much respect for the progress you've made so far, I would say "just keep going, don't change what is currently working for you".

Best wishes.

Well done all of you, I promise to be here for July, cross my heart and hope to die! :drinker:

Okay, this may not seem an improvement over last month (and it technically isn't, because it's a photo I took last month). But this is actually a huge mental improvement, because I didn't post this photo last month as I was too embarrassed by it. But for Berry this month, here's the belly showing off my "lady apron."

I think you are fantastic. It is the proof of your hard work.

Today's workout is on a short trip to being cancelled by work and theater commitments. I'm going to try to squeeze one in tonight, late!

Berry: Aqua Blast is basically a water aerobics class, usually using styrofoam "dumbbells" or buoys that serve as resistance doing curls, jumping jacks, etc. The intensity depends on the instructor...sometimes it's geared for ladies who don't want to get their hair wet. Usually, you can modify each exercise to your needed intensity level. I like it because I've been having hip issues and it gives me a workout yet provides my joints a break. This one last Wednesday was let by a friend of mine and was a WORK out. I didn't realize how red I was until I posted the pics!

Well, since we're posting early: I'll post me after the YMCA Aqua Blast class yesterday. Buoys gave me red armpits LOL!
No six pack, but much more in shape than I was 3 months ago!

Nice one TWP! I love the sound of Aqua Blast, what does it involve? In my gym we only have Aqua Yoga for the ladies of a certain age who don't want to get their hair set wet :laugh:

Ok, you all can check out my jelly belly at carolynnicolegrayson.tumblr.com. I'm also going to write about my progress (positive thinking) on my tumblr account. Maybe do a day by day journal. I'm not quite sure yet.
