    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!

    @sapphirelady15:

    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!

    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.

    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. :)
