Hi. I'm working on getting my body summer ready.
I don't really need to loose weight, just get into shape. Flatten the tummy, that sorta thing.
I want a flatter stomach, but I can't do a crunch because I have back problems. What are some exercises I can do to get it flatter?
Thanks. (link)

while exercise is hard to stick to, a healthy diet doesn't take much energy (although it's hard not to give in to temptation) but it's also a key to a flat stomach. if you limit food such as: chips, fries, ice cream, chocolate, pie, cookies, cake, peanut butter) and replace them with any type of fruit, that should help. if you can't do crunches you'll probably lose weight through the eating healthy thing, but you'll get a flatter stomach too. if you like to exercise, anything cardiovascular mixed with healthy foods will do the trick. running especially. long distances pretty much guarantee it.

it seems like you exercise a lot already, so i don't think you need more running or anything - the only other major factor in stomach fat is what kinds of food you eat, so i'd work on that. try to stay away from too many fries, chips, peanut butter, nuts, chocolate, and ice cream. if you eat more fruits (apples, bananas, etc.) you'll lose your fat soon enough if you keep exercising. hope i helped!

My stomach isn't flabby...but its too soft for my liking. does doing crunches really help tighten up your abdomen?
if so, how many should i do a day? (link)

crunches do help tighten your stomach, but only when it's combined with cardiovascular exercise. if your stomach's too soft right now, the crunches only add muscles BENEATH this skin, or fat, whichever it may be. when you run, dance, jog, walk, etc., you get rid of the soft part that you don't like, and the effect of your crunches will show through, and your stomach will be muscular. so do around 80 crunches a day, in sets of 20, as well as some form of jogging every other day, or as often as you can. hope that helps
