Most of us want to have a flat stomach, but the stomach is not meant to be perfectly flat. The ‘stubborn’ fat that doesn’t go away needs to be there to protect our digestive and reproductive organs. We need to stop berating ourselves for the ‘flab’ that actually keeps us healthy and safe. Our posture, the way we stand or an exaggerated curve in our back can make our belly look bigger. Before you skip that piece of cake or bowl of ice cream, work with a physiotherapist or a Pilates teacher to address your posture. Contact me to find out if Pilates is right for you.
