Help with different workout methods.



Recommended Posts

I've been constantly working out and it seems to be working. My legs have gotten noticeably smaller but they were small to begin with. I'm what you would call an apple shape. Although I'm happy with the results so far , I wonder if there are any exercises that you know of that would help out with the stomach section.

Planks are a good total body toner. (arms straight out in front of you on the floor feet on the floor, kind of like push up position and hold for 2-3 minutes at a time)

Crunches on an exercise ball, you can do all kinds of things on an exercise ball, kneel on the floor in front of the ball with your forearms resting on the ball and roll out and back in while tightening your abs.

lay on the floor and lift your legs up in the air and write out the ABC's with your feet together.

To work on love handles: stand sideways next to a wall, put your arm out to the side with hand on the wall and drop your hips towards the wall, keeping your feet in place on the floor.

I learned all these in boot camp last summer. They sound easy to do, until you try them, takes time to develop strength.

These are just a few ideas. Good luck!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
