Well disco, while doing cardio will help you lose overall weight, try crunches or bicycles or the plank on the powerplate machine hold ing for 1 min.  Isn't there a class at the gym called abs blast?? try incorperating tensing your stomach when you breath out, maybe you can get into the habit and it will reduce the bop.

It always spills over my waist band. I can feel a slight tightening from the yoga I've been doing. But I've been doing lots of crunches, and also holding my dumbell and leaning down to each side. I feel like that might be doing some good. The endless sit ups must be doing something for us!

Whittle, gosh i hate crunches. The person who invented the 1 min plank is the devil! lol Issy x    WhittleAway 04-20-2010 @ 11:59 AM                           reply Member Joined: Jan 2010 I agree! That plank position seems to work its way into our yoga class, so I find myself doing it without really knowing I'm doing it! Which is somehow less painful!
