 Fair Play, SC Member Since: 01/08/08 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/7/12 6:11 pm Ok so since I had surgery I have done other types of excercise.  I would love to do situps. Ive tried... Believe me! They are painful.  No matter what I do either the excess skin above the tailbone gets pinched or the tailbone hurts. I would love to know how everyone else overcomes this.

 | Post Date: 2/8/12 7:37 am I bought an Ablounge... its soft on the bottom .. kind of like a hammock that jacknifes ( and also tilts backwards a bit ) . Its INCREDIBLY useful for doing upper -and lower abs working , deep situps , for doing diagonal situps that whitle Ur waist and create an EXTRA girdle of muscle so tthe gut doesn't pooch out .. it even works the back strong cords that BALANCE the abs in the front ... and can be used to work the SIDES .. I would say hands down its the best piece of exercise equipment I ever bought ... mainly because it makes situps ( which I DETEST ) comfortable and somewhat fun ... AND its VERY effective . Have never felt any tailbone pressure .. but try for Urself at the Sports Authority ( they cost about 160 bux) We HAVE to do situps ! The core is SO important !! |

| Post Date: 2/9/12 7:56 pm Hello Mini! What a pretty Kittie! I have to say .... our core muscles are VERY important .. Those of us with back issues have to keep our core muscles strong .. or the back issues we have are compunded! Our Core is essential for many functions in our daily movements and living! If your Not able to ab lounge.. Tai chi and pilaites in a pool works too! NO pressure on any body part. The YMCA if your close hav heated pools if your have one close by. IF a student or Not fat in the wallet they have a sliding scale for cost. Some qualify for Free! Post op we all need to Move more ... and how ever you can do it and not hurt works best!! |
