Walk, tall shoulders back. Do hills or incline on the treadmill if you can, keep the tummy tucked in.
I do 3 sets of 30 of this each day. Stand on one foot, so right foot on ground, right hand behind head, raise left knee to meet right elbow. By the way, I had to work into this.
Bend to the left, then right, stretch the obliques, I do this twice a week.
Lots of stuff to do, but this got me started and I have lost 31 pounds since Christmas.0 -

Hula Hoop!! I had never been able to hoop for my entire life, not even as a child. I bought a weighted, adult-size hoop about a year and a half ago, and kept practicing until I finally got it. It is an amazing ab and back workout. Not that I have flat abs at this point, lol. But I can definitely feel that those are the muscles being used. Plus, it's tons of fun.0
