Does it helps in "tummy trimming"?

Nice one

@babyvic, yes it does, try it and lets know

i dont think it will trim tommy cos jumbing would make your skin floppy just like excessive jogging.

you need an exercise dat tightens the tommy not the one dat will make ur tommy to be bouncing up and down.



NO i dont think it trims tommy


my opinions shaaaa

@otuwe, i tried it for a while and noticed differences. A trial will convince you

Yes o but there r so many harms in being unfit

Yes o but there r so many harms in being unfit

ok i will try it

I used to jog evry morning but i stopped due to the fact that i was developing mucles on my legs. It's a sure way to burn fat though, but i don't want to disfigure my legs.

i skip cuzz i love it. try humming a favourite song wen u skip, and while at it make a slow rythym as u progress increase ur tempo and try deep breathing
really works! helps to burn calorie and increase body metabolism u'll surely sweat out all the toxins disturbn ur system

@pheesayor
Thanks for the tip. A friend that is into this fitness thingy (he looks superb ) advised me to be Skipping. I tried it and it was wonderful.

BUT

My problem started when it was time for my Menses. I had this terrible abdominal pain(my lower abdomen) for days. It was really painfullllllllllllllllllllllll. I wanted to pass out.

Since then, i quit skipping. I told my friend but he couldn't figure out the cause. I so i quit for good.

But if somone can convience me that, the pain had nothing to do with the skipping, i might just consider going back to my skipping. I loved it!

ifyalways:

lol
skipping is good,all the time

@OP nice one.

Sure u didn't have abdominal pain when u were skipping Or at anyother time

I am dying to know, b/cos i need encouragement to go back to my skipping.
