Question

Answer 1

The Bicycle exercise is the best move to target the rectus abdominis (i.e., the 'six pack') and the obliques (the waist), according to a study done by the American Council on Exercise. To do this exercise correctly:

1. Lie face up on the floor and lace your fingers behind your head.
2. Bring the knees in towards the chest and lift the shoulder blades off the ground without pulling on the neck.
3. Straight the left leg out to about a 45-degree angle while simultaneously turning the upper body to the right, bringing the left elbow towards the right knee.
4. Switch sides, bringing the right elbow towards the left knee.
5. Continue alternating sides in a 'pedaling' motion for 12-16 reps.

Answer 2

Yo can do as many crunches as you want but you won't see the results until you add in some cardio. Just a couple of times a week should be enough as long as you're eating well.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Lay flat on your back, slowly raise your legs keeping them straight and together. Raise them up to about 45 degrees and hold as long as you can then lower slowly. Repeat and try different angles. Don't hold your breath, breathe deeply. Do as many as you can. It really burns but a great workout on your abs!

Answer 4

Dear Lord... He dragged a cross around to forgive your sins, I don't venture it's a workout you'd be interested in!
