| Re: butt shelf question...lol Mother, you are talking to the Butt Shelf Queen, and I really don't have any pain. Try to put a good firm, but cushy pad under you. Good luck, darlin'.

| Re: butt shelf question...lol One of my Denise Austin tapes for abs has some exercises that might help. She asks you to fold up a towel, and put it on the underside of your bum where it meets the floor (basically, at your tailbone) while laying down to do sit ups. You could try it and see if it helps! BTW...the Wooshie Fairy in your signature is cracking me up!!

| Re: butt shelf question...lol Try using a balance ball or stability ball. I have back problems from a car accident years ago and the ball helps alot for crunches. Plus it's a pretty comfy chair and you work out your core just by sitting on it.

| Re: butt shelf question...lol I had issues with the butt shelf. I folded a towel twice and used it during pilates. It got better as the shelf shrank. HTH I think I used to go clubbing with that ghetto fairy! Love it!

| Re: butt shelf question...lol I hurt more there now that I lost the shelf; no padding! Try doing sit ups with a cushy under your tushy.

| Re: butt shelf question...lol I've never heard the expression "butt shelf" but I get what you mean (my butt is too big to notice if there's a shelf above it) - but I can't do any of the exercises mentioned either, because it is just too painful! So maybe that is what is causing it - always thought I maybe had something wrong with my back - good to know it should get easier as I lose more weight! In the meantime, I'll try the towel/cushion idea. Regards Supersized |
