baggy tummy

[linconlass]

Since having dd and ds some 13 years ago my tum muscles have remained v soft and i have a cute little apron of fat!!.Im about a stone heavier that i should be.
Have not been able to exercise waiting for knee op which ive now had few months ago but hasnt resolved problem which means i cannot do any impact sport such as run and racquet sport.
Any one have any ideas of how to get rid of the apron tum - sit ups - how many ??????also how to raise my heart rate safley but without impact on knee - i so hate swimming by the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I feel a bit slow on energy and sluggish and wd like to improve general health !! thankyou !!

anyone ???

Try cutting down on bread and pasta. Use a slendertone belt. My mate with the perfect abs swears by it and keep excersising. There's always surgery if you get really desperate. I have the same baggy tummy issues.

Hi, might you have a separation of your tummy muscles? I have and I am working on it at the moment I'd like to share a link for the julie tupler website, this is what I have been following and it really is decreasing my tummy size. I had an 8 fingerwidth gap of my abs and now it is down to 2. I also have the apron of fat and am following slimming world and have so far lost some weight, but need to stick to it to get it really off!
I too cannot exercise due to SPD and it's taking time to disappear so I really sympathise with you on your knee. How about a gym ball you can raise your heart rate by sitting on that and doing some upper body work, even if it's just moving your arms around!
Here's the link, there's a wee video and she shows you how/what to do at the end of it:
