so sick of the belly

ingersollbe Posts: 3 Joined: 2006/01/14	2006/01/15, 04:16 PM I'm so fed up with ab workouts. No matter what I do or for how long I do it my ab never improves. I'm at the point now where I feel my abdomin has gotten more solid but hasn't flattened at all! If anyone has any ideas, help, or insight to where i'm going wrong let me know. THANKS!

Does it say anywhere certain foods, etc that mainly land in the abdomin area? I'm a 5'4 girl that ways 140lbs and I'm not fat by any means. I'm just sick of having a stomach that won't lie flat.

I'm not sure if certain foods go to designated areas in the body, but i do not think so. I know that the areas of your body that you get fat in can be genetic tho.

Look in FAQs under abs, then do a fit buddy search at the bottom of the page for abs, flat stomach, six-pack... you will find a lot of reading to do! -------------- I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor. - Henry David Thoreau
