Q: Ab Workout
asked by: _tiFFany on March 7th, 2006

I'm not overweight at all, I just have a little pudge on my stomach, (i'm 5'6"1/2 & around 126lbs) I have been working out everynight since late december, and at school i'm even in an aerobic workout class. But i'm trying to gain somewhat a small 4 pack of abs. I have been focusing mostly on my stomach since feb.24.06(10x harder then I used to) with this new video I bought "crunch- fat burning ab attack", and its a great workout for my abs. I have also been eating 3 meals a day, and at least one meal contains fruit, so i'm eating right. But I would really like to know how long it would take for me to start gaining the stomach I want? I'm shooting for late may, or at least before 1st semester next school year. I would love if someone could help me out. Thanks.

I am not 2 kgs just above being under weight and I eat sensibly and exercise. I tried everything too but eventually I was told and realised myself that I naturally couldn't get the definition I wanted because the area I only put weight on was my stomach. So even at my lowest healthy weight I couldn't get abs. I heard it might be genetic and found out my uncle was obsessed with abs and just couldn't get a 6 pack. If you are really keen, as much cardio as possible and crunches morning and night. Very sensible eating. As much as I want definition, giving up some gluttony just isn't worth it. Just be happy with a flat stomach, you have abs, they are just covered by fat, healthy fat.

to Get Rid of the Pudge....
Here is the ab workout I do...


After a warm up:

using an exercise ball

v-pike prone ab crunch (3 sets of 10)

• lie face down (prone) on the ball with your hands on the floor for stability

• begin with the ball positioned at the upper thigh with your legs extended

• slowly roll the ball under your body with hips moving upward bringing feet closer to arms

• keep legs straight. Once in a v position, pause and slowly roll back to prone



using ab straps

hanging leg raises (3 sets of 15)

• hang from straps with upper arm parallel to the ground. Legs are extended.


• begin by lifting knees up to chest, pause and slowly return to extension

• do not swing. Lower your legs slowly, with control

• this exercise can also be done with a twist as you raise your legs to work the obliques



working the obliques

side lying leg lifts on floor (3 sets of 15 on each side)

• start on the floor, on your side; prop yourself up on your elbow. Keep opposite hand on the floor behind you for balance.


• with legs extended, lift both upper and lower body at the same time, creating a side lying v. Lower your body slowly.


• repeat on the other side

i got this from fitnessdiet and I do it every other day and it works for me

Yeah abs are tough, it really is all about your genetic make up, some people have killer abs without doing caca and others work forever and barely have any definition at all. In reality its just about being happy with what ya got

First what you want to do is lose much of your fat and water weight to define your muscles more, so try long distance running atleast 4 or 5 times a week.

For crunch excersizes, what I do is I find something thats about couch height, I lay on the ground and put my feet up on the couch so theyre bent a little less than 90 degrees. Then I cross my hands on my chest, and try to bring myself up so my nose almost touches my legs (gets about 2-3 inches away), then bring myself down almost all the way but not completely lying back down. I do this every day, usually 3 sets of 35 reps.

I've been doing this for about a year, and through a healthy diet and cardio excersize i've lost a lot of weight and with the situps ive gained a pretty defined 6 pack that is easier to see now that I have less fat.

Hope this helps
