Anonymous asked: Hi. I just overcame a stomach disease and two surgeries. I lost so much weight during my time of sickness and now I've gained it all back, possibly Ive gained a little too much. Do you recommend any workout regimens that will tone my legs/butt/thighs but won't be too difficult on my tummy? Thanks!
Anonymous asked: So I'm the one that just messaged you for tummy workouts and said that I hate running. Well I thought "suck it up!" and just went for a 20 minute run. Wow my lungs and body are so outta shape!
Anonymous asked: Your blog is an inspiration. I wanna start working out and getting fit starting tomorrow! What are good workouts to get rid of stomach fat? Anything but running, I hate running and have a bad knee. Thanks!
