Holy Ab Soreness!

Oh my I used the ab roller thing yesterday at the gym.  It didn't really feel like it was working, but today Oh My Gosh!  my tummy is sore!  I do like the roller b/c it is something other than a crunch.  I'm hoping the ab work will help my skin tighten up a bit.

I can't wait to get to work out beyond just treadmilling again!

Don't like to be the harbinger of bad news, but ab work won't do a lick to firm or tighten  your loose skin. Sorry! It will help firm up the abs and define your and flatten your waistline, but nothing for the skin. Keep doing it, though. You'll feel great and you will look better with a firm waistline! Just don't expect the skin to get tighter form the exercise.

I know - sucks, but it's true.

I'll echo wait Kairk said - do those ab exercises because you want to build a strong core that supports your body, helps your back and holds your internal organs in place.  But get used to the fact that it won't do one single thing for excess skin.  

True excess skin with no extra fat underneath it is going to hang, sag, and wrinkle.  The good news is that if you ever get a tummy tuck you'll have wonderful definition in that area!
