Great success story Break!. to flatten the gut get thee in the plank position daily to where you can progress to at least a 2 min hold. From there add time and or variations of same, i.e. side plank, planks on bosu, planks using trx38 straps. Remember anytime you do core exercise the key is proper form and most importantly keeping core tension tight. Just do it and the gut will flatten. This assumes maintaining a healthy diet. 15seconds in the initial go on the plank is a good start. Remember once you can hold it for x amount of time, that proves you can do it. If you do not do at least that amount it is not because your body can't , it will be the mind that won't.

Planks are good. Before surgery, I was doing crunches. My surgeons PA said Lanka are better. So now I am doing both.

I think I've lost too much weight from eating no wheat, I'd like to put on 5 pounds, but muscle, not fat. So I bought a weight bench, some Dumbbells , and just started working on it. It will take a few months though, at my age, to pack on any muscle at all.

Another benefit of lost weight. Not only is my acid reflux gone, but the burning I always had when the coffee went down my esophagus, seems to be gone.

I beleive wheat promotes inflamation, all over the body.
