How quickly can I get defined abs if I don't have any abdominal fat to lose?

Question

I am slim and don't have any abdominal fat that would obstruct muscles. What are the best exercises to do for my abs and how long will it be until I see results?

Answer 1

crunches... 3 months.

Answer 2

As with all muscle building you must lift heavy. For your abs that means that you must do reps that are difficult enough to only allow you to do relatively few reps per set. If you do a lot of sets like that you should have a clear "illustration" of your "four pack" in about a month. To get the fully defined six pack still may take you a year, or longer.

Answer 3

I'm not sure if this will help so much, but try breathing in as much as you can and holding that for 15-60 sec. There are some people who lost belly fat from that (in a month) but I can't promise it will be the same for you. Good to try out anyway :)

Answer 4

You should try the ab diet. I am also slim and wanted more defined abs this past summer ...

Basically, your diet consists of protein, nuts, calcium, and fruit for approximately 10 days.

Answer 5

Don't do crunches. They are lame. Do full sit-ups, sit-ups on an incline bench, bicycle kicks (also called pulleys) every night and you will see results in about 4 weeks.

Answer 6

if you have no belly fat you should see results i n 8 to 10 days
