I have a tread mill, cross trainer and a rowing machine. Problem is I find the rower is best for my tummy and bum, but my specialist has told me not to use it any more. Does any-one know if the other two, are good for tightening bums and tums. I had one new hip and waiting for the other to be done, sit ups are difficult.
So any-one know the best way to tighten my bum and tum.... that will not be too much strain on my hips. I am happy to buy something new that will help.

The treadmill and cross trainer are both great. You want to lose fat so you are able to see the muscles underneath. Cardio helps with fat loss. Interval training can really kick up fat loss. You need to make sure you have the diet part down. Yoga might also be something to look in to. It helps with your core/stomach area and tightens up arms and legs too. Protein and fiber help with fat loss. Strength training can also help reduce fat and build lean muscle. There are upper body workouts that don't put strain on your legs (use light hand weights).

Thanks Suzi161. Can you give me some advice on adding own foods, as I put in the Nutrition details but they don't give everything required so I don't know how to continue. Thanks again

Try and get some protein at every meal. Protein keeps you satiated, build new muscle and loss fat. I'm not sure what kind of diet you are on. Find higher protein breakfasts. Kashi go lean cereal with 1/2 cup of milk and fruit, greek yogurt with fruit, high protein oatmeal (they have it in the box) with some fruit), eggs/light toast and fruit. Find snacks with some protein too. They are protein bars, veggies and hummus, cheese stick and fruit, etc. There are some cheese that come in portions and you can add some crackers and carrots. Shakes with yogurt. Find ways of incorporating foods you enjoy into your diet. Lunch could be salad with tuna and crackers. Think out side the box. If you work, get a cooler and put everything you need for the day in it. If you get hungry on the way home, plan a snack to bring with you. If you plan things out ahead of time, you have more chance of success. Some great sites for recipes and ideas: emilybites, skinnytaste, skinnykitchen, laaloosh (check spelling with google). Get some fitness magazines to help with motivation. Slap the scale in front of the fridge. Whatever works and helps you motivate. Check out amazon.com or collagevideo.com for workouts or your local library. You can find some low impact workouts to go with treadmill or cross trainer.
