how is the fastest ways to get a 6 pack of abs?

Question

how many crunches do you have to do a day

i workout and diet but it seems nothing is helping me

Answer 1

6-pack is what we call a defined look. In order for your abs to show through your skin, your skin has to become thin, and thin skin comes from how u eat. U can do all the ab work u want, it will only make u stronger, not thinner skin. The thinner your skin, the tighter you look. And we dont do crunches.

Answer 2

My ideas? Try to do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. Work hard, but don't over 60 minutes at a time. Do planks and other abs exercises on alternate days.

On training days, do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.

The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!

Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.

Read magazines like Shape, Womens Fitness, Fitness, etc to get tips and to stay motivated.

Good luck and stick at it. This plan has lost me 20 lbs in 12 weeks so far, just go for it!

First, women shouldn't have six pack abs, its not attractive. A slim waist is fine.

Second while crunches to play a role ina six pack, as in you have to have well developed abs in order for abdominal mucles to define themselves into a six pack. Whats more important is losing weight around the midsection. You could do 500 crunches a day and not have a six pack because your well developed abdominals are likely hidden behind a layer of fat that covers the belly. In order to lose that fat you need to do aerobic exercies (running, walking, swimming).

This is also harder for a girl than a guy because women have slightly higher levels of body fat than a man, but this is a good thing because thats what makes a woman soft and curvy.

Answer 4

All the crunches in the world won't get you 6-pack abs. If you want your abs to show you have to get your body fat below 14% (10% for a man) and that means a strict diet, counting calories, and exercise geared toward burning fat. There is a book that is geared toward getting you that elusive washboard midsection -- it's called The Abs Diet, and it's a common-sense approach to eating and weight loss. You can find it at any major book store and it's hard to miss -- the cover is bright orange. It's worth checking out.

Answer 5

Never eat any fat...AT ALL.

Do at least 100 crunches a day.

Do about 20 minutes of flutter kicks a day.

Run for a minimum of 20 minutes a day.

Don't stop until you get your 6 pack.

Could take up to a year, just so you know.

Easy way? Do it in the kitchen. You must make your goal to burn your body fat % down to the 6-8% range. Measure yourself now and make it a goal to lose 0.5%% per week. The trick in a nutshell? * 5-6 small meals w/ each meal totaling 1/5 or 1/6 in calories at your current basal metabolic rate x .80. You want to go into a slight calorie deficit, but keep your nutritional ratio at about 45%/35%/20% (carbs/protein/fat). Do NOT eat any processed sugar; white bread/rice; junk food; soda; dressing condiments; etc ... -- ANYTHING JUNK or HIGH IN FAT must be cut out. You'll be miserable the first few days, but once you see the fat melting away and your abs taking shape, you'll quickly stick with the program. * 45 - 60 mins of interval training cardio (bike, running, whatever), 6-7 days a week, making sure that your at 70-75%+ of your max. heart rate. This not low intensity training, but activities like wind sprints (1min max, 1min rest) that gets your heart pumping. Do this first thing in the morning after a cup of coffee and before breakfast. * build lean muscle to increase your fat burning metabolism. military PT training (squats, pushups, pullups, burpees, situps, etc ...) 3 days a week at a fast paced in giant sets. lots of Navy Seal training programs on the web.

Answer 7

i'll tell you what! excersise! and this is all different for everyone.

you see, everyone has a different pace of work
some people can get 6-pack like in a month. For others, who knows when?

What you should do is find your own unique workout. See what exercises work for you. Also, concentrate on a specific type of excersise. Why stretch your legs when you are going for ABzzzz! (I still think you should stretch your legs. I'm a swimmer/runner and I think we should ALL just stretch our legs).

Also, the amount of excersise. Try to find your limit. If you do too little, the result is small efficiency. If its too much, you'll just tire yourself out. REMEMBER! everything in moderation.

So there. I suggest you get a personal coach and train hard! Send me a pic of your abz when you get them! [e-mail]

Losing weight in one week

Losing weight is difficult. But here I am introducing you some tips to lose a small amount of weight in a healthy that that is also within a week.

Steps to losing weight fast


* Get a set of small hand weights, 3, 5 or 8 lbs.

* Do five to ten minutes of weight lifting for a half an hour after each meal. Lie on your back and slowly lift yourself up with weights in each hand. Do this daily for the full seven days.

* Before or after you take a bath or a shower each day, do five minutes of jogging in place, your weights in hand.

* Do not eat greasy foods. Drink only water and fruit juice. Eat a portion of vegetables at every meal.

* In the morning try to eat fruit. Do NOT dump heaps of sugar on your cereal.

* Follow this regimen for seven days and you will see results.

* Take time to cook, Make food look appealing; don't be afraid to try new things. If you're not sure how to prepare or eat things you can go on an online search engine (such as google) and look how recipes and how to eat things.

* It is a shown fact that one of the "weight loss tips" is not true, many of us believe that if we eat late at night the food turns directly into fat. This is only a myth, food is stored all day into fat, it has nothing to do with time. Make sure you eat a lot of protein, this is important because if you don't have enough protein in your diet you will lose muscle and not fat.(Muscle will be burned but not as much).And finally have fun with it! Make up a dance or jump rope to music, getting active doesn’t mean boot camp!


Quick tips


* Eat plenty of vegetables with each meal.

* Drink plenty of water

* Before buying any food, look for carbs, calories and sugar in the ingredients. You'll want to cut down on all three.

Answer 9

Crunches alone wont do it. You need to do a balance of core muscle exercises. Also, start jogging for 20-30 minutes a day if you already dont.
