I am very overweight (350 pounds) and in the process of losing weight through diet and exercise, however all of my weight has mostly gathered directly onto my stomach and it's gonna take a lot to even begin making it look remotely flat again. I don't belong to a gym, but I have an eliptical for cardio, some dumbells, tension bands and that's pretty much it.
I was thinking of sitting on the edge of my bed similar to that of the exercise ball (as the bed also has bounce), taking the dumbells and essentially doing sit-ups or crunches with the dumbells. Would this be fine? Say 3 reps of 10-12?
If anyone has any advice or exercise routines that they could recommend for a beginner to help get my big ass stomach to shrink, I would greatly appreciate it.
One other thing I am worried about is that the stomach won't go back and the skin might hang. I really really hope that I can avoid this and I have heard people say that skin can bounch back, but I have seen obese people lose the weight and they just have hanging skin all over the place. This would be a living nightmare to me.
I thank you for any and all advice.
