there is no way I can do these now but I do have a question. I am aiming to loose 100 lbs by this time next year - will doing ab exercises keep me from having to get extra skin removed. I have heard and seen where folks have lost weight but they still look big cuz of flabby skin. I mean the last thing I want to do is loose a bunch of weight and have a flabby belly!!

I think that in order to lose belly fat, you have to do cardio. But after that, you have to do ab exercises because that's what makes you have strong, six-pak (or close to it) abs. Just doing tons of crunches doesn't make your stomach any smaller. You have to vary your routine.

Good luck with your goals!:flowerforyou:

i have been told that with cardio and crunches, that you are losing fat and keeping the ab muscles toned which should help keep away the loose skin.


i did these again tonight, minus the side planks again....i feel it but not in a bad way. i wish this flab in front would MOVE already. :laugh:

I'm still here. :happy: But I need to get back into the groove. :frown: Maybe we could look at some different exercises instead of repeating the same ones over and over again?:ohwell: Maybe one routine Monday, Wednesday, Friday and another Tuesday, Thursday and then a rest over the weekend?

Hello? Anyone?

OK, I'll just assume people forgot.
