I have a paunch and always had would like to do some kind of exercise rather than iposuction . I think it has to do with the curve of my spine .

I used to have a stubborn tummy that refused to go away, and a very weak back... my spine grew slightly twisted. I now have beautiful abs and a powerful core, thanks to Joyce Vedral's ab exercises. I'll be doing these for the rest of my life. \nYou can check out her website at www.joycevedral.com. She finally came out with exercise videos and dvds, I find them much more convenient than her books. Good luck!

My Dr. and I just discusses this last week. Not all people who go through that are going through it due to being lazy. I have limited things i can do as of exercise as i was a passenger in a car accident that almost broke my neck. My feet are bad and i can't walk much or use a tread mill.\n\nDr. talked about this due to trying to help me lower my blood pressure, diabetes, high cholestrol, ect.\n\n I will review all the info here and all the sites you listed and talk to my Dr. again. Thank you Ziggy for your information.

I hurt my back and hip mountain biking 6 years ago\nit was doing much better but last month it went out on me again (I slipped while shovelling, not a good combo)\nI was in bed for 3 days and people had to help me up to go to the bathroom but now I am back to exercising and feeling great\nit really as made me appreciate how important it is to exercise and stretch to keep mobile and healthy\nI know lots of people that give up doing things because they have been hurt (and now live with constant pain) but I think it is important to try to do as much as possible and stay active and healthy, don't give up

My girlfriend does exercises to strengthen her pelvic muscles(kiegle exercises). It's amazing, she can make her muscles pulsate in rhythm.  I can definitely feel it.

I have the same problem as you. I started a chiropractic, have you tried? Today was my second "adjustment" and I'm feeling a little bit better, at list I can bend!

Work out and concentrate on your mid section and lift weights and increase protein consumption some.  When I had my children the OB doc gave me literature about loosing the belly flab and I used it and had flatter stomach than before kids.  Call yours and see if they have some.  Leg lifts seemed especially helpful for me while tucking my butt muscles.  But seriously check with MD that delivered your last baby for exercises.  I'll bet they would mail them to you.

try exercises that concentrate on the muscles of the sides.  like stand with arms to sides, weights in hands, bend over to right then to left, repeat, repeat, repeat.  also, twist/rotate at waist.  if you can feel the "pull" at the sides muscles you're toning them.  hope you make it!  I'm pullin' for ya!

Have you had a physical therapist help?  Depending on the location of your problem, you may get relief by learning better posture and strengthening muscles around your spine.\nThis is not something to invent by yourself for sure.\nYour physician, who should have x-rays or scans, should be able to provide this info to a good physical therapist.\n\nI am extremely sorry if your health insurance will not cover this.  I know that the US healthcare is near shambles right now.

I have found that if you cut out your sugar in-take and eat more fruits to curb the sweet tooth while doing crunches and Pilate's. The Pilate's really, really works your glutes. It teaches you to breath while exercising. As for your behind, get down with the squats and lunges. I use to hate to these but, I look at my legs and I feel blessed by doing them. Even while your doing all of these every other day, walk every day. Walking is the very best exercise to do. I walk about three miles a day and I do the squats and lunges on Mon, Wed, Fri and try to do the Pilate's every day. Alternate mornings and evenings so that you won't get burnt out. Also this isn't so much about getting into a bikini for the summer but think of it as an alternative to a healthier, better you! I have lost so far over 37 lbs. I want to keep going with this because I feel really good in the morning when I come to work.  God bless and good luck.

I think exercise is a hassle too. Buy an exercise bike and put it in front of your t.v., so anytime you'd be sitting watching the tube, exercise on your bike instead.

I would recommend getting an exercize ball and a video that emphasizes pelvic exercize.Its less harsh on your back.  I didn't have a Csec, but I did have a baby about the size of yours. People kept asking how many I was having and why I was still pregnant when I was only 7 months along. My exercize ball has been a godsend!

They are wonderful.  I used to have one and I miss it.\nWhat you are probably feeling is how weak your stomach and back muscles really are.  They work together so if one set is weak, so is the other. \nMy personal trainer is also a yoga teacher and she's taught me about the damages done to our bodies by sitting in regular chairs--bad posture and a weak core, to begin with.

The answer to your question is in your name ... you need therapy.  Ask the doctor who diagonsed you to send you for some physical therapy.  Your therapist should be able to help you with both issues.\n\nTo lose weight you need a good source of cardio exercise that you can perform painfree, most likely walking or jogging, since that keeps the spine in extension, rather than flexion, which can aggrevate a disc.  Definitely avoid sitting exercise like biking.  Water aerobics and walking in a pool are also good forms of exercise for you.  \n\nFinally check out the link for some good exercises to improve your trunk stability to help you stabilize your spine and support your back.  Good luck!
