This has probably already been raised in the past, but can anyone give some tips on how best to flatten a very wobbly tummy!?!. I hope to have lost 3 stone by the time I'm done (half way there), and after all that weight, 2 children and the onset of middle age, i need all the help i can get!!! I walk a lot and try and get on the Wii Fit a couple of times a week but don't get much time for anything else!! :tongue:
Thanks!

    I'd like to know too! After 2 babies and in my late thirties, I'd like to get that flat tummy back!

    Clean diet, very clean, and a bunch of cardio and some strength training. There is a saying that "abs are made in the kitchen, not in the gym" Diet is 80% of the equation.

    Erickirb is exactly right! There is no quick and easy way, no quick fix or anything. Diet and consistency is key! Get a good strength training and cardio routine going and just be patient.

    reverse crunches, planks, situps bicycles...and of course cardio and a good nutritional plan. I only had one baby but she was over 9 lbs so im trying to follow my own advice :)

    I agree with Erik. You can workout all you want but those muscles are going to be laying underneath all that fat. Nutrition is key. I don't even really focus on crunches. Cardio + Strength training and plain ol chicken and veggies

    i have a medicine ball and i find it good to use as well for the abs. i do the crunches with it like 100 times a day and it burns ALOT but i do it! i also had a baby not too long ago and i would love to see a flat tummy again :)

    I used to use something called "the bean" I used to use one and got my weight down from 197 lbs to 178 in just a couple of months. It made my tummy look flatter too. I got mine on clearance at walmart for 19 dollars but when mine got holes in it I quit using the bean (its a blow up thing.) About a week ago I bought another one on ebay for pretty cheap i think around 30 dollars with shipping. Lets see if I can get my weight back down. No matter what you do good luck!

    Thanks all! well I'm getting there with the diet side of things, so just need to get the cardio/strength bits a bit more focussed!

    Hi!
    My interpretation of it is healthy really - low in the sugar fat and flour type foods....

    You can do a thousand crunches a day but nothing is going to give you a flat tummy unless you are consistently eating healthy and burning calories through cardio or your workout of choice.
