Hey peeps,
Can any of you suggest awesome oblique exercises that will get rid of them.
The problem with me is i can't seem to get rid of the flabby bit not directly on my side but at the back slightly. (It's not directly on my side, more on the bottom of my back on each side)
Hope this aint too confusing (lol),

Thanks again,
Cymraeg

Unfortunatly we can exercise the abdominals till we're blue in the face but they will shed fat by training them. The only way to lose the fat is through diet. I know the area your talking about & it is usually one of the last places to slim down when shedding bodyfat, just keep up the training & watch what you eat & eventually it will go away. Trust me, I have the same problem & I wish there was another way, but there just is not.

Diet, diet, diet. This may not be what you want to hear, but it is the truth. You cannot burn fat with ab exercises of any kind. That is what that is you are trying to lose, and it is done in the kitchen.

Heehheheheheh.
I can't count the number of times that someone has said - "Why do your abs grow when you eat less, but your other muscles only do when you eat more." Unfortunately it's very easy to confuse abdominal development with leanness. In the skinniest people the problem is usually lack of ab development, in almost all others, it's usually too much body fat.
