How can u get really good lookin abs besides going to the gym?

Answer 1

Eat right
No sugar = from candy to carbs. Carbs turn into sugar
No salt = salt makes you retain water
Drink lots of water . The more you drink the quicker you will remove toxins from your body that prevents it from metabolizing effectively.

and most importantly NO FAT!

You can do 1,00 crunches but if you still have a layer of fat on top of your abdominal muscles, you will show NO abs.

So you need to run or do some type of cardiovascular exercise...

Answer 2

There are two components to nice abs. First, it's necessary to get rid of body fat. What's the point of building up your abdominal muscles if you can't see them because there's a thick layer of fat in the way? To obtain this you have to eat right and do some sort of cardio work-out that will burn calories and make your body lean.

After reducing the amount of fat on your body, you can start "fine tuning" things, like making your abs look nice. You do this through sit-ups, crunches, Pilate's, yoga, or any number of strength building exercises. When you move throughout the day, be conscience of your abdominal muscles. Tighten them as you move. This will tone those muscles, without struggling through set upon set of sit-ups that only works one set of muscles.

Your abdominal region is, in my opinion, one of the more difficult areas to tone. You often see people with great arms, but horrible abs. There's a reason for this. Some people have to work against genetics. Some people have to change the way they eat. It can take a lot of time and work to get nice abs, but once you have them, it's pretty easy to keep them around.

Answer 3

I pull my belly button in towards my spine while sitting at work or while watching tv at home. this helps tighten the muscles.

then you need to do some cardio exercise and eat healthy fibrous food full of good nutrients.

do some crunches every night too.

good luck.

Please read the recommendations below. Also, go to the book store and locate the book "Weight Training for Dummies". In chapter 15 you will find excellent information on how to perform abdominal exercises correctly. Page 218 of the book dispels all the myths surrounding abdominal training.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
