I've lost the weight, now slow process of toning, will my stomach tone if I keep doing the 'Mike Donavik' 18 minute 'abs - core' exercise 3 times a week as well as a small amount of cardio, I have a small amount of belly fat to shed but it's the last bit which is just hanging on! I've started my diet and I'm coming up to week 3, I just don't know if I'm wasting my time doing the same workout on my stomach..

Morning Jack99

You have done so well to lose your weight so well done. If you feel your workout is working then why not continue as you say it's a slow process but you will get there. Your not wasting your time but if your not happy with the type of exercise your doing then change it.

Have a good week. :)

Thank you and yes I feel it's working but I don't know if doing the same exercise will tone completely?

Have you considered couch to 5k? I have a suspicion it may be more fun than 18 minutes of abs exercises, and many people report inch loss on their waist from learning to run. Plus it's a great long term plan for making sure the weight doesn't go back on again. Congrats on reaching this end point in your weight loss journey. Good luck whatever you decide to do now :)
