another ab work out & how long it'll take
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

Good work on your new fitness regimen! :) It's rad you're trying to get healthy.
A few things though, the first key to having visible muscle is losing fat. Someone can have lost of muscle but because it's covered in layers of fat you can't see it. So while, specific muscle centered workouts are good in order to have a lean build it must be paired with heart pumping cardiovascular workouts where you are really sweating and burning calories.
Also, form during your crunches is really important. You can be doing a lot of crunches, but if you do them the wrong way it doesn't help. Make sure your lower back is always on the ground and when you crunch don't so much curl (which can injure your back) as opposed to lift your chest off the ground while supporting your neck. Also make sure your shoulder blades are always off the ground for a more intense workout.
Varying your routine is important because in order to have the abs you want you need to work several different muscle groups that can't be targeted by crunches alone. Someone earlier reccomended a crunch where you lay on your side and lift your legs, that's good for the obliques. You can also try laying on your back and sticking your legs straight in the air, extending from the hip socket. Now without lifting your lower back and using your abs, raise your legs up and down, getting as close to the ground as possible without your back arching.
Here's a good but tough one. Assume a push up position, but have your elbows on the ground, making sure they are lined up directly from your shoulders, and rest your forearms on the ground (it should look like a 90 degree angle). Have your body fully extended, your neck extending from your spine, while balancing on your toes (like a pushup). Now hold this position while keeping your abs tight. Don't let your rear end go too high in the air, release your abs, or let your back curve into a U shape. The key is to keep your body entirely flat while holding in your abs. Try to hold the position for a minute or two, working up to longer times. Good Luck :) .

forget msn, theyre stupid and they just wat you to buy stuff, dont trust them. anyway just keep doing your workouts, thats amazing that you do that many situps and you walk 1 mile, youll have a sixpack in no time.

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♥
