I've been struggling with my core for a looong time, it's the ugliest and weakest part of my body by a mile. I've recently started taking my training more seriously but it's really embarrassing just how pathetic and weak my core is :( In the gym if I do classes, there are girls half my size who can lift a quarter of what I lift but they do ab exercises with ease and I collapse after 10 seconds of a plank or 5 sit ups.
What can I do to make a real significant difference in my core? I also have that post caesarean 'overhang' jelly belly thing which is so horrible and I'm convinced it will never go away no matter how much dieting and exercise I do :( Has anyone else had this and sucessfully managed to get rid of it without having to have a tummy tuck?
Sometimes when I do ab exercises it really hurts, not like a muscle burning 'good' hurt but a 'something is about to break inside me' stabbing kind of pain. Should I get this checked out or is it just because my core is so weak and unused to exercise? Thanks!!
