Belly Flap

When I do jumping jacks or anything that requires jumping, I hate HATE feeling my belly jiggle and jostle so I avoid exercise programs with a lot of jumping around. The waist band of my work out pants falls below my belly and it's just plain disgusting.

Does anyone else have this issue?

I found my solution. A bathing suit. I bought one yesterday to help contain the jiggle that I'll wear with my workout clothes. This won't stop the dreaded feeling of the jiggle, but I think being used as a compression garment (and less expensive), it will help some.

I WANT to do 30 Day Shred, and now I can! Doesn't mean I won't still hate the jumping jacks, but I'll hate them for different reasons. lol

    I guess I'm the only one whose belly jiggles while I workout!

    You're definitely not alone! I'm just getting into a healthier workout routine and jumping around has been bumming me out haha. A swimsuit is a good idea, I would have never thought about it. I like wearing some yoga pants I got @ Old Navy with the fold over waist band. I feel like a dork but I just keep the waist band up and it's been a little better for jumping jacks and everything else.

    lol your not the only one. At first, I hated feeling the jiggle when jumping around but now I have began to think the harder I jump, the harder I work out and that means the less jiggle I will have.

    Mine actually makes a slapping sound when I jump around. It disgusts me and it's embarrassing. Nothing I can do about it since it's loose skin and not fat.

    That is the worse feeling ever. I sometimes use a belly band, it keeps everything all tucked in

    I also get the slapping sound, urgh I hate it. It's like doing the jumping jacks without a sports bra (I have a particularly large chest!). A swimsuit is a great idea, now you can get cracking with 30 day shred, which I am loving!

    I have been wearing one of those cheap waist sweat bands. I just put it around the lower belly/hip area.

    I just had this experience while I was running. I got so aggravated I stopped. That's a great suggestion about the bathing suit bottom. I'll have to give that a try to hold all this flab in lol.

    I'm actually wearing a full suit, Kinda like a leotard over my workout capris - 80's style. Now I just need some leg warmers! lol
