You Answerd A Question Of Mine Earlyer about the 6 pack thing...

anyway, if I do you work out 1 day & then I do 500 sit-ups another day, would that help any?

thanks

i'm not really sure since i dont do situps. i am sure that would help too.
i looked up some ab workouts for you online. i just went to goodle and typed in "ab workouts" TONS of stuff came up. here are some of the websites, with good information on them.


Ball Crunches
Lie face-up with the ball resting under your mid/lower back. Cross your arms over the chest or place them behind your head. Contract your abs to lift your torso off the ball, pulling the bottom of your ribcage down toward your hips. As you curl up, keep the ball stable (i.e., you shouldn't roll). Lower back down, getting a stretch in the abs, and repeat for 1 set 12-16 reps.
^^like the yoga balls

Lie on your back with knees bent, hands behind your head. Keeping lower back pressed into the floor, lift your shoulder blades off the floor and then curl your upper body diagonally across your body towards your right knee. Contract your abs and obliques as hard as you can at the top of the movement. Lower back down and repeat for 16 reps on the same side before switching sides. Do 1 or more sets.
^those are the crunches to the side i suggested before

Lie face up on the floor and lace your fingers behind your head. Bring the knees in towards the chest and lift the shoulder blades off the ground without pulling on the neck. Straighten left leg out to about a 45-degree angle while simultaneously turning the upper body to the right, bringing the left elbow towards the right knee. Switch sides, bringing the right elbow towards the left knee. Continue alternating sides in a 'pedaling' motion for 2 sets of 12-16 reps.

Lie in the floor with knees pulled in over the chest. Place a ball between knees and stretch arms our to the sides like an airplane, palms facing up. Contract the abs and twist the hips to the right, bringing knees towards the floor (keep your shoulders flat on the floor). Don't touch the floor, but use the abs to bring knees back to start and go to the other side.

Lie on your side balanced on forearm, feet and hips stacked on top of one another, other hand behind head. Holding the torso steady, slowly contract your abs and lift the hips off the floor (don't sink into shoulder). Lower and repeat.

when you do these or situps, its best to place your fingers above your head and your elbows out this prevents putting strain on your neck. also make sure you lift your chin to the sky. sorry, i didnt really answer your question, but like i said, i've never really done sit ups for my abs. i hope what i gave you helps. good luck. ♥

okay well here it goes. Im 5'3 and i weight about 190(i know im fat) but i wanna go down to about 140. I want to loose it by Christmas. Does any one know any tips on how i can loose the weight and some exercises that will help along the way? please let me know im really want to loose weight.

you could certainly do it, as long as you are dedicated and stick to working out. you should run a mile in the morning, or in the evening. after a while when you're not AS out of breath and you are more comfortable increase the distance to 1 and 1/2 miles or 2 miles, and slowly work your way up. running is really good to stay in shape. cut the portions of food you eat in half. go to a gym, and see if there is anyone that works there that could lead you to the right stuff that would help you lose weight. places like gyms usually have a bullitein board with classes on them, sign up for as many as you are intrested in and are willing to do. have your family help you, have your mom make meals that are healthy for everyone! if you feel like slacking off one day realize that you're going to have have to work 10x as hard to make up for it the next day. give yourself a break on sunday.

good luck, and i hope you get where you want to be with your weight! ♥

ok, i want to get into really good shape for the upcoming school year because i plan on working out hard over the course of the year. im trying to get my stomach to get really flat and its not working. i do sit ups every single day and i do a total of at least 4500 in a week. i stretch everyday too and i go on walks as often as possible, probably a few times a week. i swim twice or three times a week too but nothing seems to have any affect on my body. any advice? plz help! i rate high for any reasonable answer

crunches are so much better ((atleast for me)) on your stomach. do 75 crunches in the morning and again at night, everyday, and i promise it will show. run a mile in morning or in the evening. maybe you could take up a sport if there are any going on?

hope i helped.♥

I am 115 lbs and 5'5'' i would like to loose 10 lbs as soon as possible without anorexia or bulimia. i hardly have anytime to go to the gym. please give me advice on how to accomplish my goal.

You should run a mile Monday-Friday. And eat breakfast, because I read on the side of the ceral box, that kids who eat breakfast actually weight less than kids who dont. Try like eating Cheerios or Special K or something like that. Also, its in many diet books so I've heard, that you should just cut the portions of food you eat in half to lose weight quicker. Try eating peanut butter, because it fools your body into thinking it is full. You can also run up your stairs ((if you have any)) for like 5 minutes because cardio really helps your body. Lift cans of food instead of going to the gym if you dont have time, do crunches, and jumping jacks and all that good stuff. staying active is going to help you out alot. good luck!

i hope i helped♥

I'm 14/M (I weigh around 115) & I'm trying to get a 6-pack, well, I do 300-500 situps a day, I walk 1 mile a day & I drink alot of water

well, I was reading this thing on MSN & it said that it is better to do more then 1 work out for your abs & that you should do 2

so I was wondering if you could tell me another ab work out

& with this & + the routine I already have, how long would it take for me to get a 6 pack?

thank you

okay, my soccer team does this, and i do it on my own. do crunches instead of situps. do 15 regular crunches, then do 15 crunches where you lift your left side towards your right knee ((i hope that makes sense)), then do 15 crunches where you lift your right side towards your left knee, then stick your legs straight up in the air and do 15 crunches and lift your butt off the ground when you do them. this is one set. do 2 or 3 sets each day, and you will see results like really soon

good luck. hope i helped♥
