Question about abs exercisises

scottybhoy29 Posts: 2 Joined: 2006/09/13	2006/09/13, 01:47 PM Hi, I work in a hotel as a banqueting porter, and I have to haul around stacks of chairs on a trolley and carry around heavy trestle tables and because I carry the tables/ have carried the tables on one side more than the other for the past two years, I have more fat on my left side of my stomach than the other. Is there any exercises that may help even out my abdominal muscles. Thanks. Scott.

I honestly don't mean to be rude....but how does that look to have fat on one side of your abs and not the other????

Dont get me wrong but its not as bad/was not as bad as you think, its just that I can notice more than anyone else can.
