Want Flat Abs- Read Below

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with Compass

Do you want flat abs?  Do you want to feel better and stand up straighter? Are you tired of your present exercise routine?  Are you to the new to Chicago's Northwest Suburbs?   Keep Reading....

 

One of my New Year's Resolution is to stay healthy..... I am smart enough to  know that in order to do that, one must  eat right and exercise 3-4 times a week.

Its been  30 days since I have made this resolutionand although I cheat and eat many foods not on the so called healthy list, ie chocolate,  I am very serious about my exercise routine, As part of my weekly exercise routine, I attend a Pilates class twice a week  conducted by Dr Adam Weiss in Buffalo Grove, Illinois.

I have tried almost all types of exercise in the last 20 years,but after only 4 months of Pilates Reformer training, I truly have found this type of exercise the most beneficial for me.   Pilates Reformer is strength training on the Stott Reformer machine.  The Stott Reformer is modeled after the "reformer" used for rehab that uses resistance and assistance at the same time.

 

 

 

What Are The Benefits?

  • Increased core strength(middle abdominals, obliques, back and all the muscles that support the spine).- Over the last 4 months, many people have noticed my improved posture.
  • Sculpted legs, thighs, and arms and flat abs.  Lean muscle around the shoulders.  I was just kidding in the title,  not exactly flat abs- maybe  flatter abs.
  • Stress reduction- my husband and kids say that I scream less around the home. 
  •  Hopefully, a better game of golf in the summer

If you live in Buffalo Grove or the surrounding Suburbs, you can call Dr Adam Weiss for more information at 847-541-8844 or visit his website at www.thebacksmart.com.  If you mention that you received the information from my site or blog, you can try the class twice for free.

I have been working my plan for the new year and have dropped about 10 pounds and one bro size but I need to work on my strength, I think I might try to locate this type of Pilate's in my area.

Take care!

Katie,  If you want to do this type of Pilates, you google your city and then pilates reformer.  Many healthclubs have this type of exercise.

Judy... I cheat a little myself... Since I skipped my running and didn't even cross train today this talk of food has put me in the mood to chow down...  Going all the way and finishing up with milk & cookies today!  :-)

Robert- Good for you for dropping 10 pounds-that's amazing.

Dan- how were those cookies last night

Matt- whatever works for you.  However, soon they won't make shirts that big.  lol

Julie-I'm glad I  motivated you.  It's much better than sitting in front of this computer all day.

Judy,  Great information.  I will also be looking into the Pilates Reformer Training prgram  Thanks for providing your assessment and details about the program.  A news report this morning said that Scientists studying cells found that people who exercise regularly have "younger" cells, and discussed the anatomy of the changes.  I think we know this intuitively by the way we feel.  Thanks again.

I have not been working mine, in fact, I really do not have a plan.  But in my mind I plan to exercise more and I have kept that to a degree, but not like I should.

The best thing I've found believe it or not, is the infomercial ab slider.  Have had it for years, it really works.  It tones faster than anything I've ever used before.

Judy, your timing is fantastic! I have been exploring and deciding what types of excercise to jump into. Had a kidney out a few years ago, and definitely need to start from square 1 and work on my abs. It helps so much when someone else is passionate about something and so kindly passes it on. Good luck and hope to talk to you again.

Judy, as you may know from my MeMe post I have this Fitness Nut side of me. Let me tell you the best way to have flat abs BESIDES equipment. Watch your eating habits. Get rid of the three whites as much as possible, white flour products, sugar, and salt. Especially the processed carbs and sugary drinks and sugar desserts. You will be amazed how your body will change. Drink water not diet sodas. The machine will help the muscles but fat has to be gotten rid of by what you eat and aerobic exercise. Good luck with your high school reunion. You already look great to me. I think you are just a high achiever and pushing that excellence envelope.

Also, VIGOROUS exercise is a great stress reducer.

Hi Judy, I got here from your 'no brainer' AR post. I have to tell you that I absolutely love Pilates!  I go to a class at the Chelsea, MI Health & Wellness center 2x a week. Pilates has been found to stregthen the muscles & posture needed for good horseback riding. I ride Dressage- you know, horsey ballet & it's great to have a competitive edge.
