How to Achieve a Toned and Firm StomatchMost women feel least confident about this body zone. By the time they reach 40, few women can boast the flat taut tummy of their teens - if indeed they had them then! But even after having children, regular exercise can limit the damage. It you think of the extent to which your stomach expands during pregnancy, it is an awesomely accommodating zone. Keeping the skin well moisturized and conditioned goes a long way toward helping to prevent stretch marks as does avoiding rapid weight gain. In the initial red stages, retinoic acid may help avert stretch marks, but once they are white and established nothing save surgery will shift them. Getting the stomach back into shape and maintaining its tone is an epic of hard work. However, toning slack muscles with regular exercise not only results in a smooth profile, it also means that the lower back is better supported. Keep stomach muscles well tuned and you stand a better chance of avoiding agonizing back pain while you're looking good in your lycra. Stomach Workout RoutineTry the stomach workout and make it a regular part of your exercise routine. To encourage commitment to exercise try joining a body conditioning class at your local gym. Warm-ups often include low-impact aerobics. The main moves are a specific sequence of toning exercises involving hand weights, rubber tubing or the resistance of your own body weight. Many of the exercises will be aimed specifically at toning the stomach muscles. Circuit training with Nautilus equipment also gives fast results.
