[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 595429, member: 12578"] You are right in the middle of ideal weight with a BMI of 21.30 [url]http://www.thefamilygp.com/body_mass_index_calculator.aspx[/url] I very much doubt that your tummy is very fat but if you have been overweight in the past or had children then it's not easy to get back a flat stomach. Just look at how many hits you get if you start doing a google search; everybody is after the miracle instant answer with sites suggesting the 5min workout, the 10 min workout, flat stomach in 6 weeks and 6 ways to finally get a flat belly etc etc. Personally, I think it's probably not a good idea to focus on stomach exercises alone but to do something that incorporates them together with aerobic exercise (like brisk walking, jogging etc) I have found Pilates exercises good for toning and strengthening abs and core muscles. But do remember that a lot of the body pictures you see are airbrushed, of very young fit people (and sometimes of people who have had some artificial help!) [/QUOTE]
