hope this helps

do it like they do it on the discovery channel!

[Jene]

damn....never mind.....found the real problem

But before you start dreaming of a six-pack stomach, here's a cold hard truth: if you're carrying around excess weight in the form of body fat, all the sit-ups in the world won't get rid of it. Instead, you've got to lose that extra fat, slowly but surely with exercise (both cardiovascular and strength training) and diet control.

im screwed then

[streaker]

nope that!! fat never done me no harm, even as an a elite runner.
so tell them to nope off, whoever said it,or just beat the jobby out of them.
sorrie a bit drunk

[Mrs H.]

Crickey Streaker - it's a bit early to be drunk - but your absolutely right of course. Jene - the problem does not seem to be your tummy, toned or otherwise, but the person who commented on it. Tell them to [nope] off. At your age your body has more important work to do (which you will only benefit from in about 10-40 years time) than develop a six pack

[Jene]

cept now's the only time i can show it off.....really

[streaker]

slight tone not to much, and show it off!
mrs h its an hour later here in sweden.

[Mrs H.]

Oh, that's alright then ( says Mrs h. secretly thinking that being drunk at 6.15 on a monday in Sweden is still a considerable achievement.)

Jene - show it off - but don't assume that what people want to see on a girl is a six pack - follow streaker's advice - i can't believe that a girl as athletic as you has anything to be worried about.

[Matt_Jones]

I agree with Mrs. H, you have a gorgeous belly (im sure), and we don't want a six pack.

what other stretches / excersises can u do to get a toned tummy?????

Brilliant book: The Royal Marines Circuit Training, by Robin Eggar & Dieter Loraine.

Two good (and painful) trunk exercises are:

V-sits
-Lie on floor with arms and legs extended.
-Keeping arms and legs straight as possible, raise head, shoulders and legs, aiming hands towards knees.
-Slowly return to starting position, and repeat. Breathe iut as you raise and breathe in as you lower.

Crunchies
-Lie down with legs extended. Place hands on temples.
-Bend then raise knees and at same time raise upper body off floor, aiming head towards knees.
-Slowly lower legs but don't let them touch the floor.
-Repeat, breathing out as you lift and breathing in as you lower.

Circuit training is brilliant exercise, but, as with most strenuous activities, is potentially dangerous. Apparently not recommended for under 18s. Best to consult reliable book or somebody who knows what they're talking about (i.e. not me) before starting circuit training.

By the way, you don't need to have a toned tummy. I certainly don't!
