My ribs stick out! How can I get my torso to look less weird?!


Question: My ribs stick out! How can I get my torso to look less weird!?
I have really sticky-out ribs and hips!. The hips I don't mind so much, but I'm very self-conscious about my ribs, especially during bikini season!. I just feel that they make my torso look weird!. They didn't look so bad when I weighed more, but last year I lost 35ish lbs and now I weigh around 130!. Are there any exercises I can do to make them look like they don't stick out too much!? I have tried doing a lot of crunches and ab work but that only seems to make my belly stick out more!.

Answers:
you don't need to LOSE weight, you look fine!. If the rib thing bothers you much, why not try adding an ab workout in your routine!. Don't overwork them, but build a little something down there!. It'll lift your tummy a little, and narrow your hips making your ribs stick out less!. You don't need to lose weight!.

You say you already do cruches, have you tried using a yoga ball and doing crunches that way!? Sometime I like to do is taking the ball and putting it between your legs and moving side to side, that works your lower abs appose to the center which it sounds like what you may be doing!. I suggest looking into some workouts with a yoga ball and doing a different kind of ab workout!. Not all ab workouts will make your tummy stick out!. Instead of focusing on the middle, work your lower abs and your upper abs, go easy on the upper though!.!.too many can make your tummy stick out a lil!. but 3 days a week in moderation should be fine!.

Also look into some workout routines for your sides using the yoga ball, they're really simple and may have reduce the ribs sticking out!. But you have great skin tone, and you look fine! Thanks for answering my question!! :]Www@Answer-Health@Com

i have the exact same problem!!!!!
there isnt really anything you can do!. if you gained a lot of weight then it would not be as noticeable but i dont think you would want to do that, it being that you look just fine now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

since you can't really shrink your ribs, you should just get fat to make your stomach look even!. then, eat normal, not only healthy, and excersize only around an hour a day!. that way you can stay with an even stomach!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, as the 12 yr old I am (lol), it's probably left over body fat!.!.!.!.sorry for not exactly answering your question, but how'd you lose 30 lbs!!!! I can't even lose like 5!.!.!.!.!.so can you answer my question!.!.!.!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think you should worry about it!. It makes your torso have a really good hourglass-like shape!.
Sorry I don't have any advice lol

Lose more weight, walk and sprint!. Sprinting will burn that fat right off!. Try looking up some "core" exercises also!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

mabey you should grow muscle there!. then your abs would be ripped and cover it up, and you would look even better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

sorry but i think u look great! u don't need to lose themWww@Answer-Health@Com

looks fineWww@Answer-Health@Com

i think you look hott!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm sorry but that is just some peoples shape just like how some people have bizarre looking belly buttons there isn't a 'perfect' way to be you are just use to the norm showed on t!.v all the time!. Your body looks great and loosing more weight will only make it alot worse, i guess the best thing you could do is go to a gym and ask an instructor exactly what you can do for it but you can't change your bone structure!. You look fine anyway!. Could always wear a tankini if that's what your worried about!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your belly area looks perfectly fine to me!. I wouldn't stress over it, just be happy that you are healthy and attractive the way you are!.

I'm afraid the only way you could change it, is to continue lots of cardio and weight training (ie crunches)!. I'm at a point where my abs are looking the most defined that they've ever been by running/hiking and mild weight training, but my bmi is right on the too-low line (18!.5), and my ribs still stick out a bit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
