Q and A with Marty Hames

We've started a Get Healthy Club on our message boards with 3TV's Marty Hames dropping in to join the conversations.  Here's what one member wrote:

"I am a mom of two (age 5 and 1 1/2) and I can not get rid of my stomach. I don't have enough time to go to the gym (let alone time for myself). I am wondering if the "Ab Lounge" helps flatten (tone) the stomach area. Any answers would be appreciated."

Dear Sweet Connection Member,
I haven't actually seen the "ab Lounge." But I'm assuming it's one of the many gadgets out there promising to give you flat abs. Here's the deal with getting flat abs. First you have to get rid of the excess fat covering your six pack abs, and that is achieved by combining the right diet, and cardiovascular exercise, such as walking, running, swimming, even jump rope! The only ab gadget I love is the stabilization ball. They are so popular you can even purchase them at Target. The best thing about the stabilization ball is that you can also incorporate many other exercises to strengthen your midsection, also know as the "core." Remember, most any exercise will give you results as long as you are consistent.

Good Luck!
