cheers..:)
There is no magic pill or quick fix. Pilates helped me, together with regular swimming and walking, but changing my diet had a big effect too. I have a friendly Bowen therapist who has helped with aches and pains. I'm in my 50's now, so it's a harder 'fight', but all the time I never gain, and feel well, I am pleased with my efforts.
I've suffered with a big belly all of my life, even a chubby baby!
The only time I have had a flat tummy was when I had my hair analysed for food intolerances and went on a strict exclusion diet for 8 weeks. When I started introducing foods back into my diet gradually not one food seemed to effect me but a few months down the line I was back to having a tummy again!
I do pilates once or twice a week and it is helping to tone. But personally for me its about diet more than anything.
Excercise is an important part of keeping weight under control, and even more so as we get older.
For exercise to be effective and sustainable it needs to be something that is enjoyable and you are motivated to do. So I would try a few different things, like pilates, zumba, martial arts, running, tennis, netball, etc. There are so many to choose from, and your local sports centre may be able to advise where you can get free taster sessions.
But exercise is just one part of the equation, food quality and emotional wellbeing have a major effect on weight gain. So if you are looking to loss weight, look at it holistically and you will be more successfull.
