Why have I developed a tummy after joining gym?
Question
I am a 41 years old female, 168 cm tall and weigh 55 kg. I joined a gym two weeks back and have observed that my stomach has actually started coming out. I look almost three months pregnant. Before joining the gym, I used to weigh 53 Kg and my stomach was much flatter. What has caused the tummy to bulge out?

Sometimes the abdominal crunches, if done incorrectly can cause it to protrude rather than to tighten. Please perform the exercise under the supervision of a trained professional. While you do the crunches, tighten the abdominal muscles and then lift your head and shoulders upwards and off the floor.
