OK ladies, this is the common problem: as we age, things drop south. This effect increases with weight gain, pregnancies, etc. If you are short-waisted (less than 2" between top of hip bone and bottom rib) your organs have less room to fall back to the spine, and will pooch forward. Those who are long-waisted tend to have less of a problem with this.
So, if you are lean and do crunches, sit ups, etc ad nauseum OVER these 'dropped' organs, you will get a nicely taut rounded pooch. The key is to first RAISE the organs where they are supposed to be: up more navel-high, THEN do crunches. Believe me, this works. If you visit this site, you can find free info on how to do this:

It WORKS. Put 'organs in place' a few times, then do your crunches. I'm short-waisted, 50, and have a relatively flat tummy even though I'm not super skinny any more like I used to be before I hit menopause. |

Get a Pilates tape and try to find a friend to work out with. Two years ago I did this 3-4 times a week and by 8 weeks I had lost about 1.5" from my waist and flattened my stomach without losing weight (I was eating a lot at the time). Then I fell out of the habit.
I am trying to do three times a week now (I meet 2 other women at a local gym one is regular 2X per week and one is off and on). I find having someone else going makes me cancel less often and it is really hard to do it at home with family stuff to do.
Any way I know it works just keeping at it is hard. |
