what is the best exercise I can do to get muscular abs?

Answer 1

Swimming.

The common answer is "sit-ups", but the reality is that your abs won't show through a blanket of fat no matter how many crunches, sit-ups and leg-lifts you do.

So the challenge is to reduce the size of your fat cells lying between your skin and your abdominals.

Any aerobic exercise will do, but the key is to do enough. Walking (depending on your size, speed, incline, conditions) will burn about 300-400 calories per hour. Running/jogging burns about 600-800 calories per hour. It would be nice if you could run for an hour, but that's not realistic. Walking is great and you an do it for a long time, but who has the time to walk two hours/day.

This is where swimming comes in. You burn calories two ways. First, you burn about around 400-800 calories per hour for swimming. Secondly, you burn off calories through thermo-dynamic heat exchange with water. You are going to lose almost as many calories (depending on the pool temperature, your body composition and what you are wearing) to trying to keep warm.

Answer 3

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

I discontinued our health club club a even as again.. Basically what I do is pullups, pushups and ball crunches on a gigantic ball you'll be able to acquire at Walmart, Sports retailer and so on.. I have dipping bars for pushups and for pullups, I have a pullup bar on the park in which I can do five units of 12 each and every different day.. My target is not to get gigantic anymore,however to stay toned and maintain my belly flat. Good good fortune..

Answer 5

THIS WAS THE EXERCISE GIVEN TO ME BY MY PERSONAL TRAINER:

JUMPING ROPE

1. Jump rope for 90 seconds. Try hopping on one leg to increase balance, alternating between legs. So you'll jump once on your right foot, once on your left, twice on your right, twice on your left, and so on, until you're alternating every 10 jumps between right-leg hops and left-leg hops.


SHUTTLE RUN

2. Position five small objects—agility cones, tennis-ball cans—in a row approximately 10 to 15 yards away from you. Sprint toward the objects and retrieve them one by one. The drill is complete once you've brought all five objects back to the starting line as quickly as possible.


SQUAT THRUST

3. From a standing position, bend at the hips and knees to lower yourself into a deep squat. Place your hands on the floor in front of you, then kick your legs back so you're in pushup position. Immediately bring your legs forward again so you're back in squat position and stand up. Perform 10 squats.


FOOTBALL RUNDOWN

4. On a large field, throw or kick a football as far as you can. Run to retrieve it, then repeat. Do six to eight reps. No ball? Do stairwell sprints: Sprint up five to 10 flights, jog back down to the starting point, then repeat once.

HOPE I HELPED!! :)

crunches, side bends and trunk twist. dont add weight for any of these exercises. if you do the muscles will grow bigger rather that become more defined and give you the appearance of a bigger waist line
