 Abs I am a 37 yr. old female, 128 lbs. I ride a stationary bike 5 days a week for 30 min. and drink plenty of water, and do strength training plus ab work 4 days a week. I do 2 videos for abs. The firm ab sculpt, and I want those abs. I can see some definition on the sides of my abs, and a little line in the middle of my upper abs in the right light and if I don't slouch, I pray it's not my eyes playing a game with me. Is this a sign of beginning definition ? Also, for my size I don't need to lose weight I think, but how do I get rid of the jiggly, excess skin over my abs, I don't think it's fat. And I cannot afford any surgery. I only see it if I'm lying down or sitting, real loose, and jelly like, with a couple of rolls, but when I'm standing it looks good. Maybe it's normal to have some excess skin, but can I shrink it with exercise ? I'm afraid if I loose weight, the skin will get looser !!! If I continue to exercise will the ab muscles eventually push up against the skin making it look more smooth and defined ? Please respond back to my question to let me know if I am doind everything right. Thank You

 Abs I have no idea what my sitting hr is but when I am working out it reaches 189 and stays there most of the time. I do not know why it is that high and if it is dangerous. What happens when your hearrate is that high, does it burn more calories? I just don't get it.

 Abs Hi Norma. I train my abs 5 days a week using 2 abs videos. My abs seem to show a little, but I want more definition. Also I have some extra skin or fat over my abs, not quite sure if it's fat or skin ? but anyway, If I continue to eat right and train my abs 5 days a week will the muscles eventually push up against the skin so they can be seen more, and I'll see more definition ? Also are lines on both sides of abs definition ? I want to make sure I'm seeing what I'm suppossed to be seeing. I'm also thinking of trying to lose a few pounds, so my abs will show even more. Also, I have been trying to tone my arms and give them some sexy sculpt and shape. I do a variety of exercises for my arms with 5 & 8 lb. dumbells. I have been doing that 4 days a week for 2 weeks now, can you tell me when will I start to see some form take shape and some muscle ? My arms are way to skinny. Thanks Norma.

 Abs Hi Norma. My arms ar so skinny. I am currently lifting 8lb. dumbells to add muscle and some nice sexy shape to my arms, am hoping to eventually go up to 10 lbs, but don't want to lift more than that. My question for you: Is it true you can build muscle and add definition to arms by using a light weight but doing more reps ? I want to build muscle I just want to make sure I'm doing it right. I do 8 various arm & upper back moves with 8lbs. 4x a week I do 3 sets. 20-25 reps each. my arms burn and actually shake when I'm done. Am I doing enough for my arms and to achieve the look I want. Also, how long will it take to see results ? I have been doing this about 3 weeks now. When will I see the little cuts and lines of definition and muscle that I so want ? Please be as specific as possible !!! Thank You

 Abs I am having trouble getting a straight answer wherever I go, so I hope you will be able to help me. My question is this, what is best for ridding yourself of celulite? I have a larger butt and thigh area, however am not fat. I want to lose the weight (some of it) in that area without increasing the size. Will lunges and squats increase the size of your butt and thighs and will they help decrease celulite or is that impossible to improve? I have been doing tred and bike, but don't know if that will improve my problem areas and if so in what way, either by toning or by burning calories? Thank you for your response and time.

 Abs Every day I excersise for 10 minutes. I have no excersise machines, so I improvise. For cardio, I do 50 jumping jacks. I also do crunches, squats, and leg lifts. My problem is I need to find an at home excersise that will work my love handles and lower abs. Can you help me? Also, I need to know if 10 minutes a day, everyday, is enough.

 Abs 1) I take a multivitamin daily with potasium and I also eat bananas daily yet when I do cardio, after working out with my personal trainer, I am experiencing cramps in my calves. After I work out with my trainer, I do my stretching, including calf stretching and I want to do cardio for 40 minutes, but the cramping starts after 5 min. What is the daily intake on potasium? Just want to make sure my multivitamin has enough.
