hi evanescence.. the misconception of many ppl is that you have
to do situps and crunches to rid your tummy.. they are good
exercises, but u need to do more that that.. over-exercising the
abdmoninal areas will put a lot of stress on the back, especially
the lower back... this will cause bad posture, which is also the
cause of tummys... so u have to do some back strengthening exercise
to compensate this... also, to improve posture, trying standing
flat against the wall each day for 15 secs.. i think that's about
it
