Hi

I recently bought the slimin6 programme. I also have Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and plan to use the slimin6 as a starter programme before moving onto 30 day. However, I've noticed that these DVDs contain a lot of ab work and toning exercises. I was always made to believe that if you have a bit of a belly then you shouldn't do abs or any kind of exercise that will tone the abdomen as you are just building muscle under the fat? Am I missing something or are these DVDs not really for people who still have a bit of weight to lose?

Thanks

    Nope ab work is fine if you still have weight to lose. The only thing is it will not lead to a 6 pack until you lose the weight, a common misunderstanding it when people only to ab work and expect a 6 pack. go ahead and get started! you got this!

    As you lose weight you will see much nicer abs than if you don't work on them. And building core strength has greatly improved my posture while reducing neck & back pain. So why wait?
