losing weight
16/f 5'5 or 5'6 about 150lbs. Kinda long, and im sorry, please tell me what you think/know..
Im in sports, cheerleading, basketball & gymnastics.. and Im not fat, I know im not.
I have a lot of muscle. Not manly, but Im strong for a girl and I know muscle weighs more then fat.
But what I would like to improve is my lower abs. I have fat like all people, over my abs. But my lower abs is what has the most fat over it. And I would like to get it better.
I just started doing this workout, this week. Here it is..
I have cheerleading Tuesday and thursday 6-8..
On monday, wensday and friday im running a lap at the track, then walk, then run, then walk and run again. I have a work out ball to do crunches on, (to improve the bending in the back and help work my lower abs) and to work my legs. Which I will do everyday.
I read that doing a lot of crunches will help your abs, but to see them, you have to get rid of the fat over them.
So my questions are..
Running three days a week like i just said, will that help me lose that little fat over my abs?
And about how long do you think it will be untill I can see my abs?
Also, Im not changing my eating ways. I dont eat a lot already, so I dont think changing that will make a differance. I dont eat a lot of junk food, just a lot of pop. So Im lowering it to two cans a day, and hopefully diet pop. ((my family dont like deit pop so that might be trouble)

I'd just like to quickly correct something Small said. Crunches do not help get rid of fat, they only tighten and work your abs. While they are great for hardening abs, you're still going to have that layer of fat over top.
Lastly, these things take time. Stick with it though, and you'll be seeing results!
Hope this helped,

Yes, running should help you loose the fat in your lower abs. Crunches help a lot with the ab workout.
About how long it would take for you to see your abs, that would usually take around 2-3+ weeks as I am seeing by your schedule. Just make sure you don't eat too much and you'll be set to a new set of abs.
I hope this helped.
