Tummy Tuck Health Regimen

Abdominoplasty, or the tummy tuck, is a popular procedure especially among women who have had children. Often when a woman has a child, the skin is stretched. Often the skin remains in excess in the area of the stomach even after the woman has lost other baby weight. It can be frustrating and embarrassing for women to carry extra weight in their stomach region.

A tummy tuck is the best option for women who have tried other means of toning their midsection. Sometimes even exercise and healthy living can’t get rid of the excess fat tissue or skin in the midsection. For those women who have tried everything else, making the decision to get cosmetic surgery can lead to a positive and life-changing experience.

Perhaps, though, you are like many women who hate their midsection but don’t know what to do to target the area. You have your cardio and weight training but can’t seem to get to the extra weight around your middle. 

Maybe you have gone the other route, like many women do, and have chosen to try to target the area with a diet. You are eating low fat and low calorie diet everything and still can’t seem to melt off the muffin top. 

Of course, you may already realize that exercising alone won’t help you lose weight and dieting alone won’t help you tone. A tummy tuck health regimen of cardio, core work and stretch paired with a diet full of fruits, vegetables and whole grains is what you need. 

So many women fall into a pitfall of the same workout that is good for you but isn’t necessarily building tone in your core. Likewise, many struggle to eat low fat and low calorie meals while slugging away diet sodas. Skip the soda and don’t worry so much about the calories. Think more about the content. Antioxidants, vitamins and fiber are your tummy’s friend.

Find a Pilates course that fits into your schedule. Pilates is a great way to target your core muscles. In fact, that is the main focus of the class. Instructors work to strengthen your core, which will in turn strengthen your overall muscle fitness and health. 

If you know Pilates is not your thing, look for a beginner yoga class to enroll in. Yoga also strengthens your overall muscle fitness, stretching your core muscles and giving you more flexibility. The breathing skills learned in yoga will help you get more from your other workouts as well.

Drinking more water and leaving the soda in the refrigerator will help you look and feel thinner. Water naturally flushes your system, while the sugars or sweeteners in sodas can make you feel bloated. Getting proper nutrition through a diet full of fruits and vegetables is also a great way to tone up.

A tummy tuck is a fantastic solution for some people. For those who can’t afford it, tone up by improving your exercise and diet.
