Will my stomach ever be toned again?

[Anonymous]

I am 5'6 125-130 lbs. I am pretty slim. Ever since I had my baby a year ago I've been unable to lose this loose skin around my stomach (even though I lost all the baby weight)

I have recently started

Jogging for 10 minutes on a treadmill (5 days a week) - Every week I increase the minutes by 2.

I've started doing 60 squats a day.

I do 30 arm curls.

I have decided next week to start doing crunches.

Do you think by next year I will have the body I want? Is there something I should do different?

Well some women do regain their bodies but that area is really hard to loose. I am in great shape do 40 mins. of cardio everyday, weight train 4 times a week and spend at least 20 min each time on my stomach and I still have that loose skin area on my lower stomach and my son is 5. So don't be too disappointed if it does not go away entirely because it is skin it can't be toned like muscle but the more toned your muscle is underneath it the better so do lots of ab stuff. Just remember you got something really good for that loose skin that is what I try to do whenever I feel crappy about my little tummy.

Yes you can. You may still have slightly loose skin, but you can tone up the muscle. Try bridging and crunches.

Sadly, women who who have borne children can never hope to achieve toned bodies again. You may diet and excercise as much as you like but it will make not an iota of difference. Your stomach will grow progressively flabbier as each year passes, and by the time you're 30 years of age your legs will no longer be able to support your bloated and dissipated frame, and you'll live out what short time you have left bedbound in a nursing home. When you gasp your last, you'll be hoisted by crane into the piano crate within which you'll spend eternity. How many kids do you plan on having?

if you keep working at it then yes. if your diet is good then yes, but if you end up cheating on anything or quitting the workout all together then you won't suceed. I wish you the best of luck because you are one of the few people who seem to have an innitiative

Try doing yoga. I really think that will work wonders
