Hello. I am an ostomy patient. I really want to work on my midsection and get it better in shape. I've seen the lay-down exercises online that you can do, but I am interested in doing exercises like sit-ups and leg raises. I have an ostomy hernia belt. It works very well, but I have been apprehensive about trying these exercises because I don't want to cause any damage to myself. I would really appreciate any input on this matter. I bought a Chuck Norris Total Gym 2 years ago and would love to use it. Please... any help would be very appreciated!
