what are some exercises that i can do to lose my stomach before my wedding in oct?
Question:
Answers:
For the upper abs, focus on crunches which effectively work the abdominals better than sit-ups or any machine on the market.
For the lower abs, keep in mind there is very little muscle tissue there so decreasing levels of body fat is the most effective way to bring out the best in this area. Hanging leg raises, v-situps and reverse curls are among some of the best exercise for this region. Always make sure your pelvis curls up to maximize lower abdominal contraction during these exercises.
As far as fat loss goes, cardio, cardio, cardio. In the morning, on an empty stomach at about 70-80% of your maximum heart rate for about 30-45 minutes. This combined with a common sense diet will quickly shed body fat so you can actually see those abs you've developed.
I would encourage you to seek the advice and guidance of a personal trainer in your area for further education on these principles. Please ensure you start off at a very basic level for crunches and cardio if you are a beginner.

Have you tried the exercise ball? I was getting a six pack (then I got pregnant again, so bye bye six pack). It really is amazing because you need to use your abs just to keep your balance on it. And then you are doing an ab workout on top of that.
My local gym offers a class. I know there is a Gunner Peterson DVD you can do at home, too, if that is more your style.
Good luck and congrats on the wedding!
