I DESPERATELY NEED ABS! can anyone give me advice on getting abs eg. how many times do i need to do sit ups each day and how many times is too much? and also how long will it take approx. for me to get atleast a four pack? even better a six pack? supply me with all the advice you have thanks!
A lot of it depends on your body type. If you are seriously overweight or overweight, don't expect to get nice abs anytime soon. If you are the average person, it could take a month to get toned abs, but if you want a super gnarly six pack, that'll take a couple of months.
First of all, RUN.
Don't jog, RUN. Be intense and push yourself. Run(not jog) at least 2 miles everyday. But pace yourself so you don't end up not being able to continue after the first mile.
After running, do 100 crunches. take a minute break and do 100 more. wait another minute, do another 100 situps. Also, throw in some leg lifts in there if you can.
Don't eat fatty foods, eat extremely healthy. If you do this everyday, youll get a very nice six pack within 6 months at most. Your abs should be toned by about the first month or so. It'll also be extremely easy to lose your abs once you have them.
It took me about 3-4 months of 300 situps a night and running my ass off during the day to get a gnarly six pack. I didn't have the energy to keep this up so I just ran and stopped the situps. I lost my six pack within 6 months. [ TheWallflower's advice column | Ask TheWallflower A Question ]

If your mom doesn't have a membership to a gym, I would just do ordinary crunches. I'm not sure how many you have to do a day. But I would do at least 100 a day, 5 times a day. Do 20 at a time, & work yourself up to 100. And when you can complete a hundred, work yourself up to more. But remember not to rely on only exercise. A healthy diet is good too. So no more junk food, or sweets, or fast food. And drink lots of water. And don't stop when you see results or else you'll just go back to the way you were before you started.
