A member asked:
Is it possible that doing ab exercises makes me constipated? because it makes your stomach 'tense' and not relaxed? what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Doing abs exercises should not make you constipated. In fact, it will not affect your bowels at all. If you are having constipation, consider increasing the amount of fiber in your diet, and perhaps even taking a fiber supplement such as Metamucil. If you do this, you should increase your fluid intake also. Good luck.
