| i was wondering, to get really strong abs, how many situps should i do per day. i used to do about 200 but stopped because the results were too slow. but now im ready to do alot if its what i need! i will also continue running and biking and dancing, pilates and yoga, but for my abs, how many and how long will it take for results. i've heard 6 weeks, but idk. please help answer my questions! thanks in advance!i have the healthy diet covered beyond what your probably thinking. i quit doing ab exercises last summer, laziness and school are to blame. i just want my tummy to be firm again! its flat, and what can i say-i like lean muscle! idk=i dont know. sorry for the slang-again the laziness!whats a swiss ball?? sorry for the stupidity, but yeah!well, I am slim and do cardio/strength training already, but wanted abs-so a little help here! |

| Wow, 200 situps a day is good. I suggest crunches though, they target the ab muscles better. Try doing leg raises too. Remember that you need to lower your bodyfat percentage to see your abs. That comes from cardio and diet. I commend you for wanting muscle. I love muscular girls! |

| 10 situps10 V-ups (Touch your hands to your toes, but crunch your body so that they meet midway in the air)10 lemon squeezers (Position yourself sitting up, put hands at side, and move your torso back into a laying position while extending your legs straight ahead. Now just row your legs to a bend while crunching toward them w/ your torso, then go back to laying position. repeat process)10 back hypers (lay on stomach, basically a reverse cruncher)10 Leg lifts (Lay on back, lift straight legs to 45 degree angle, then bring back to ground)30 seconds of bicycles (Lay on ground, and mimick a bicycle pedal motion w/ your legs)10 side crunchers each side10 regular crunchers30 seconds of flutter kicks (Lay on back, keep both legs straight. Lift them up bairly, now alternate between raising each leg a little bit and brining it back down. This one is tought at first, but after a week it will be easy. Try to think of being a swimmer while doing this one)10 kick ups (Lay down, bring knees up toward chest, then kick legs upward to become straight in the air.)10 side double leg lifts (Hard to explain, basically lay on side, and lift both legs simultaneously as high as you can. Will feel weird at first)10 Forward Rows (Way too hard to explain, google it)10 Russian Twists (Google it)10 Scissor Kicks (Lay on back, spread leags apart in air, bring them back to center with one leg above the other, then alternate to mimick a scissor kicking action)Finish with a bridge for however long you think you can do it.Once this routine becomes easy, don't up the reps, just do the whole routine twice. I have sick abs and this is basically what I do (Left a few out for explanation's sake)Then also do your run at night. Cut excessive fat out of your diet, but you can have a little still.Do it and you will have some abs. |
