Flatten Your Belly In Time For The Beach
As a personal trainer I am frequently asked, “What’s the best way to lose belly fat?” Or sometimes I’m told, “I have been doing lots and lots of sit-ups and crunches but I don’t seem to be losing my belly.”
Sound familiar? Well, you’re not alone.
Underneath that layer of fat there are muscles and yes we do need to work those muscles by doing sit-ups, crunches and other abdominal exercises because a higher muscle content means we burn body fat more efficiently.

How Bonnie Went From a Size 10 to a Size 4
I hated seeing myself in pictures with my husband because I was twice his size.
So, I started working out at the local YMCA but I just wasn’t getting the results that I wanted. That’s when I started working out at Pam’s FitClub. I was amazed by the results as I went from about a size 10 down to a size 8 and then over the next year I got down to a size 4.
My husband loves my new look. He’s a runner and I could never keep up with him before but now I can. He’s still faster than me but now I can keep up.
I Hated The Way I Looked
Hi. I’m Tammy Franklin and this is my “before” picture.
I’m a medical transcriptionist which means that I spend a lot of time sitting in front of a computer. I wasn’t getting enough exercise, so I gained weight.
When I looked into the mirror all I could see was fat. I had no self-confidence and I didn’t like myself. I decided that I had to do something and get very serious about it. I hated the way I looked and it was starting to affect my relationship with my husband. I also knew that I needed to do it for my three kids.
It wasn’t easy. I started exercising, riding the exercise bike and I got some results. After a year the results stopped and I had to keep working harder and longer to keep losing weight.
That’s when I started working with Pam Turman at FitClub. Now I look better, feel great and my self confidence is back. Best of all I feel like I can do anything. I feel powerful because it’s been a challenge and I have succeeded. My husband likes the new me. The sky’s the limit for me now.
