!!!!!I'M SO PROUD OF HER!!!

[chrisrob05]

Last winter, my girlfriend and I went to the gym and she started a diet. Within a few months, she lost some weight and kept it off for over a year now!!

Her knees are bad, so running is not an option....Walking, swimming is about all she can do-She had a her son about 5 yrs ago and her stomach area is what she wants to lose now-it's not much at all.

Aside from diet, is there anything that she can do to tighten it up? She works so hard and I'm so proud of her-I'm just not sure how to help her on this one.....I just thought I would ask a woman-Thanks!!!

Kudos to your girlfriend

She can't spot reduce - she can lose fat from all over, eventually from her stomach.

As far as what she can do - NUTRITION is the MOST IMPORTANT thing here. Then training - she needs to train right, and I don't mean endless cardio! If she doesn't already lift weights, then she needs to START.

Get her to review the article Transform Your Tummy With These 8 Tips!, and then have her read The 3 Keys to Fat Loss for comprehensive advice and information on nutrition, supplementation (only the basics, and she doesn't even need that, honestly), and training for effective and successful fat loss, and apply the principles there.

Yoga must be the solution for the problem. Ashtanga asana or Surya Namaskar will keep the whole body fit. Her knee problems & flab will be solved all by itself. Consult a professional and start a regimen. All the best.

Lol, you'd think with your name being ROSIE that it'd be obvious you're a woman.

Spinning is a great work out, she might like it, gentle on the knees but great cardio...

She drinks water or crystal light and counts her calories. It's nothing complex but it works. Stay away from fatty foods, eat more small meals and she stays away from dairy products. She just had a baby Sept 21 and we went out for halloween last Sat night. She wore a cute costume and rocked it. We're getting closer to 30 but keeping the weight off!!
