The ab workouts will help but you also need to keep the cardio up and watch the refined carbs. Cardio helpts to boost the metabolism and burn fat all over.

All drink your water!
Great tips: However, and here is my frustration!

I teach 3 bellydance classes per week, do 1 bellydance company rehearsal once a week, take yoga twice a week, and flamenco once a week. Plus I go out and walk my dog once a day. PLUS, perform 1 or 2 1/2 hour shows twice a week at the least, sometimes up to 4 times a week, so we're talking anywhere from 2 - 16 shows a week!
How much more can a gal do!

It is definitely the carbs in my case....
My bums, arms, abs under a bit of flubb, and legs are rock hard.....
Also, when I am PMS'ing, I gain, and no joke, 5 pounds, and I bloat so horribly.

No more bread for me......that is my mantra,
no bread, no pasta -
