Hi mattie!!! I am glad that you find interesting what I told you... if you want you could visit: www.bodybuilding.com and enter to the female fitness section there you will find tons of information about exercising....there you will see how all the fitness models do lots of cardio in order to keep their body fat levels low....all of them share their rutines which I think is very helpful for us... and you will notice that all of them do cardio for at least 30 minutes per day.... before contest they double their cardio to 90 minnutes per day in order to loose more body fat and look toner and slimmer as possible....

About your question I did not have flat belly in the past...even though I am Pear Body Shape that means that I have hips wider than my shoulders because my body stores fat there and on my thighs. Pear shaped bodies carry their extra weight below the waistline.

But I was overweight and I did not have a flat belly....I have had to work on it.....

tuesday 28 october

30 minutes treadmill 5% incline

back day!

hanging negs (aaahhh!) 3x10

rows, super heavy! 5 x 8-10

not sure what to call these...squat, bend over, arch back, and pull weight (lots of it) up to your belly button, lower, repeat. we did 5 x 10

horizontal pull ups: put feet on a bench, and grab a bar with both hands so your parallel with the floor, then lift your self up to the bar. brutal! 5 x 8

straight arm pull downs, 3 x 10

tricep pull downs, 3 x 10

wow! it was a good one.

hmm...i forgot what i did thurs and fri of last week...i think friday i just did cardio, but thursday...hmm. chest i think?

anyways.

monday 3 november:

30 minutes treadmill, power climb!

seated rows, 50 lbs, but we did like slow burn thing: instead of pulling it to your belly button, pull it up to your collar bone, and hold for 12 seconds, then slowly resist back down. then 10 seconds, then 8 seconds, 6 seconds, and so on. ouch! we did 3 sets of those.

same thing on pullups: pull yourself up, hold for 15 (ugh), then 12, then 10.
only 2 sets

bent over rows, ten more lbs than last week, 3 sets of 10.

i have a new tattoo on my shoulder, so i was in pain!

new ab one: this is done on one side of a cable crossover machine. stand perpindicular to the weights, and with both hands, grab the handle, arms straight...so youd be reaching across your body to hold the handle. then, keeping your arms as straight as possible, pull down to your hip, rotating your torso...so its a diagonal movement.

these were great! its hard to get my abs sore, and im tired of the same ol same ol. ill be doin these alot!
