I've kept my hourglass from running, walking and using the x-trainer. Because you naturally have an hourglass figure you may find when you lose weight you'll lose it all over to retain your hourglass shape.
I definitely like the first two, and I'll have to check and see if my fintess center has an X-trainer. Cool!
They normally have cross trainers. Unlike running it's low impact, so you don't feel like you're slogging your heart and legs out like running. ;)
I used to go to the gym religiously for a year and ran on the treadmill and used the cross trainer. This kept me from gaining weight, but I wouldn't say that it improved my figure at all. A few weeks ago I picked up Jillian Michaels yoga dvd and 10 Minute Solution: Rapid Results Pilates (which is also on netflix instant play, if you have that). Since then I have definitely noticed my waistline being trimmer and I actually have visible abs for the first time in my life, yippee!
@Kitty Kat: yes i second that! the p90x ab ripper is amazing!!! i cant keep up tho! :*(
Some basic things you can do at home are side bends or as I like to call them "Tea pots" or doing side sit ups with your knees in one direction and od a cruch in the opposite direction. I also love pilates for a good core workout.
All very good suggestions that I will take into consideration- thank you! :)
Along with cardio, do pilates! So good for your core, and for a tiny waist, work on your obliques!
I picked up the Billy Blanks Cardio Inferno DVD yesterday- it has quite a few ab twist moves that I think will be helpful. I really liked the pace, too- 45 minutes flew by! I've tried the 30 Day Shred, but didn't care for Jillian too much. I'll look into the Pilates, too. :)

Hi Bees,
So, I got my dress- it's David's Bridal SAS1210, and it's gorgeous!
I have a dilemma, though. I'm mostly happy with how I look in it, but would really like to define my obliques to bring some extra "oomph" to it my getting a better hourglass shape (which is what I have naturally). Do you have any suggestions for exercises to do this?
Thanks!
