What can I do for my cat to lose his flabby belly?
All fully-grown cats have “flabby bellies” because their skin structure is different from humans. It lacks attachment to their musculature (like our does) and is naturally floppy. They have “Primordial Pouches;” see below. It’s not like cats can do sit-ups and tighten their abs.I adopted a grown shelter cat who was 25 pounds. He had been starving on the street, and the shelter volunteers would fill his food dish. “Cabot” (they named him, I kept the name) would eat all the food, and the next volunteer would come in, see Cabot’s empty dish, and assume the former volunteer didn’t feed him… so in short order, Cabot blew up like a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day balloon!But, man was his belly firm! He was so fat, he had stretched the limit of his skin so you could have used it as a bongo drum! His fur didn’t cover all of that tummy, it was largely bare. I joked about getting him a “tummy toupee.” It took years of exercise and special food to get him healthy again. So, the only way for a cat to have a tight tummy is to have him so fat, he’s bursting. (Cabot had a tough time washing himself, too; that tummy got in the way. I also had to buy small stairs for him to be able to climb up on the bed, since he couldn’t jump much.)My current cat, Jax, is active, a picky eater, and very fit. But, you can grab a huge handful of “belly:” it’s skin and fur.But, it’s always best to ask your vet if your cat is healthy. All cats need yearly check-ups. Ask the vet to show you how to tell if you cat is overweight. They’ll probably tell you to keep a feather wand handy, and engage in lots of play every day.ETA: from Wikipedia: Primordial pouchesSome cats share common traits due to heredity. One of those is the primordial pouch, sometimes referred to as "spay sway" by owners who notice it once the cat has been spayed or neutered. It is located on a cat's belly. Its appearance is similar to a loose flap of skin that might occur if the cat had been overweight and had then lost weight. It provides a little extra protection against kicks, which are common during cat fights as a cat will try to rake with its rear claws. In wild cats, the ancestors of domesticated felines, this pouch appears to be present to provide extra room in case the animal has the opportunity to eat a large meal and the stomach needs to expand. This stomach pouch also allows the cat to bend and expand, allowing for faster running and higher jumping.
I'm underweight but I have a flabby belly?
I'm 19. I'm underweight. I'm 95 lbs and an inch over 5 ft. I'm skinny everywhere else but my belly. I have a flabby belly and I get bloated a lot. I'm starting to pay more attention to my health and weight since my dad's diabetic.. Any way I can have a flat belly but not lose so much weight? I hear crunches and running/jogging will help. Please no rude comments.
Will I lose my flabby belly by jumping jacks?
You can’t spot reduce the stomach area with exercises. Instead, cardio exercises help burn fat all over your body, including your belly. Certain exercises also help build and tone muscles. Vigorous types of cardio activity, such as jumping jacks, help you burn overall fat quicker because of their high intensity and the large number of calories that are burned.From afar, jumping jacks look easy; but once you're in the fray, performing them, you realize how they might help you lose fat overall. The simple movement of jumping your feet apart and clapping your hands overhead and then jumping your feet back and lowering your arms can burn about 585 calories an hour for a 160 pound person, reports Health Status. If you weigh 200 pounds, calorie-burning increases to 732 calories an hour. A person who weighs 240 pounds burns about 878 calories an hour with jumping jacks. This means as you lose weight, you’ll need to work harder to burn calories.However, if you’re looking for weight loss only, I know a couple of methods which you can consider to witness good results in a very short period of time. Take a look at my reviews about The 2 Week Diet and Red Tea Detox. These 2 methods are doing wonders and giving great results.
I just lost weight and now I have a flabby belly. How can I make my belly tight and strong?
You have lost weight but my guess is your body fat % is still high. You should now turn your focus on reducing the body fat % by indulging in weight training at gym. Since you have flabby bell your aim should be to strengthen your core through adequate resistance training at gym.Also do a lot of Pushups, Planks, Crunches and more such exercises that strengthen your core.This will give you the maximum results if you can combine it with lot of healthy fatty acids & omega 3. Eat lots of Salmon or any kind if fish you can get your hands on. Almonds, Walnuts, Cashew nuts, Peanuts should also be in your diet as they have a decent amount of good fatty acids.Else there are tablets as well for such stuff for vegetarians.You have to understand that its not going to change over night, so keep working hard, stay hopeful and you will be proud of your self.And when you are done. Each one, Teach one.All the best!
