Question Posted Saturday February 18 2006, 7:22 pm
I would like to get a nice stomach. Not asking for rock hard abs but something impressive. The thing is i need at home ideas. I dont have access to equipment. Also i have a slight heart problem so runnings kinda hard on me but i can still do it. Any ideas?

and it's working so far. It's pretty intsnse and is made for a bodybuilder (I'm doing half of all of the amounts) so I suggest making your own system based on your endurance and strength using these exercises.

NEVER mess around with a heart condition. Not even a mild one.
That said, your doctor should be able to recommend a program of exercise and nutrition that should help you get into shape. And just so you know, although sit-ups and crunches will develop your abdominal muscles, your overall shape is really determined by your general body fat; there are no exercises which will eliminate fat only in one part of your body. So you'll have to get all of you in shape in order to have a nice stomach.
Membership in a gym isn't necessary in order to get in shape; you can get great results with brisk half-hour walks and ten-pound hand weights (or five pound weights, depending on how strong you are). And of course there's all sorts of great information about nutrition online. The US government's Food Pyramid is a good place to start: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

ohh yea if you have an ipod they accually help you alot because they make time past fast. like i could run 25 min on a tredmil with an ipod and only like 10 without one because i was too consitrated on how i was feeling (I have asthma) [ DancinCutie08's advice column | Ask DancinCutie08 A Question ]
