Body mechanics

[fitmum]

Dear Cathe!
or any one familuar with the mechanics of the human body.
After just finishing a rest period from an operation, iv'e started working out again.
My question is,as the abs flatten do do they gradually lift up as they flatten, so that as this process takes place, the waist appears to be thicker?

Thanks for all you answers.

And Cathe I pray you get well soon

Hi Fitmum! The abdominal muscles are curved not flat. As you become more and more fit you will notice the curvature more. Thickness is more of a genetic issue but if you feel you are getting thicker than you like, then train with your body's natural resistance vs adding additional weight. Take Care and glad you are recovered from your surgery.
