Hi everyone,

I was seeing trainer but havent in a bit so I been doing the gym and running. I was wondering if anyone has good at home abdominal exercises they can share. I do plank on the ball and ball situps now.

Thanks for the help.

The plank and variations is the best exercise!

I do one on the ground, where you do a plank on your hands, then go down one side at a time, onto your elbows, then back up to hands, back down to elbows etc. Side planks too.

Also, man pushups make my abs really sore, it really targets your core, just like planks do.

That and plenty of running, and I've never found a real need for crunches and sit ups. I have very strong, flat abs.

If you do DVD's, I use "The Firm" they have one just for core and abs--www.thefirmdirect.com

Your weight loss is great! :biggrin: We are kindred soul--started at the same size and have lost about the same amount, except my 80 something lbs includes 30lbs on the six month supervised diet.

Thinking of getting a personal trainer this summer--did you find it helpful?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
