Answer 1

Sorry for the long answer...
To get rid of the fat covering your Abs, there are 3 essential elements that are involved:


CARDIO


DIET


RESISTANCE TRAINING


Now all three of these elements together (done in the proper way) does one very important thing for you which helps to melt the fat away from your Abs, which is, they INCREASES YOUR METABOLISM! I pretty much say over and over again through this website, that promoting the appearance of muscles on your body is all about increasing your metabolism, and this is the key for getting a 6-pack.

These three simple steps is what it takes for getting a 6 pack. You need a low bodyfat percent for your Ab muscles to show. Now many people might think the best way to reduce fat around your Abs is to do crunches or sit-ups, well guess what, all this is doing for you is slightly increasing your muscle mass in your Ab muscles, but this is doing NOTHING for fat loss around your Abs. You may be getting bigger Ab muscles by doing this, but you'll never see them if they are always covered by fat.

So how do I get rid of the fat around my Abs?

First off, you can't just lose fat in one particular area, anytime your losing fat, your evenly doing it all over your body, and the best way to do this is to increase your metabolism. If you try to get a 6-pack by starving yourself, then your shooting yourself in the foot! You must maintain your muscle mass as much as possible while trying to lose fat weight, so you have to keep your overall calories up, while doing plenty of resistance training.

Okay, so then how do I increase my metabolism?

Cardio, cardio, and more cardio!!! while also eat, eat, and eat some more!!!

Now if I was to continue on with this article, I would almost be mirroring pretty much what I said in my cardio, diet, and resistance training articles. So I would go read them over, and I guarantee you will have all the knowledge it takes to get a 6 pack of Abs.

Here are some quick tips on how to and not to get a six pack of Abs:

One of the biggest myths floating around is that getting a 6-pack mainly involves resistance training workouts. And you can see this because the TV is filled with boatloads of info commercials on the latest gadgets and machines that claim they can give you a 6 pack in no time. Well, all their really trying to do is to TAKE YOUR MONEY, nothing else. So please, NEVER fall for any of that crap! You do not need any machine of any type to get the resistance portion of getting a six pack, all you need to do is simply do some crunches, that's it! The majority of the work of getting a six pack is actually doing plenty of intense cardio workouts, and eating properly.

People are spending millions of dollars a year on Ab products that claim you can get a flat stomach, or flat tummy in no time. Well what you are reading right now, is worth more THAN anything you probably have ever read or any Ab machine you have ever bought, because trust me, if you follow the guidelines in this website, you WILL get a 6 pack faster than anything you've tried or read about before. I KNOW what I am talking about here.

Some people can get a 6 pack without doing absolutely NO crunches or Ab workouts at all! It is possible to get a 6 pack solely from doing plenty of cardio alone! By doing lots of cardio, your reducing your bodyfat down to almost nothing, by doing this your promoting Ab muscle definition. One of my best friends is on the track team for school, and all he cares about is well, improving his sprinting abilities, he doesn't care at all about having a 6 pack or even and other muscle type definition. And guess what, this guy is ripped, he has a 6 pack, and he achieved this solely by doing sprints all the time, he never lifts weights or even does any crunches. Now, don't get me wrong here, this guy does not have a whole lot of muscle mass, he could easily gain a lot of muscle mass by lifting weights also, or increase his Ab muscle size by doing some crunches. I almost would think cardio is not an option when it comes to getting a 6 pack abs, you pretty much have to do it in order to get a 6 pack.
Some people may be trying to get a 6 pack, but simply can't do it. You need to figure out your problem area, and those problems stem from one of the three elements: cardio, diet, and resistance exercises. If I was to put a rating on what most people's problems stem from, from most to least, it would be:

CARDIO - 9/10

DIET - 7/10

RESISTANCE - 4/10


That's right, I think not doing cardio is people's biggest flaw when it comes to getting ripped abs, you need to do cardio on a continuous basis in order to streamline the process of getting ripped abs. Second would be diet, you have to eat 6-8 smaller meals throughout the day eating PLENTY of protein, in order to get ripped abs. And although resistance training is on a pretty low scale, I am mainly referring this to your Ab workouts. Did you know that by doing bench presses, squats, chin-ups, and other resistance exercises, can help you get a 6 pack faster? YEP! By doing all that, your increasing your overall muscle mass, which increases your metabolism to lose fat. But what I'm trying to say here is that doing 200 crunches a day is going to do practically nothing for getting a 6-pack, now that is a total waste of time and energy, your better off doing less reps, but hold a 10 pound plate behind your head to increase the resistance.

Answer 3

i found something that seems to work well for me which is doing 100 situps in the morning, and if i can 100 at night, and also the thing that has shown the biggest improvement is cutting back on carbs...such as pasta, potatos, and bread. good luck!

Oh btw also laying on ur back, flat on the floor then rasing ur feet 6 inches off the ground and then lowering them back down, and repeat in sets of 20. hurts like hell tho (atleast for me) lol

Answer 4

Eat healthy and exercise. If you are concerned or just want some good advice ask your Dr. Don't start a heavy duty workout without getting advice from your Dr. first. You could seriously injure yourself. A good way to condition for workouts is to jog though. Try taking up jogging first and see where it leads you. Good luck!

Answer 5

Heres something I did many times. I laid off junk and no sodas or breads or sugar or pasta, and I ate lots fruit and salads and drank tea and coffee and water lots of water and broth. I had low cal soups. And it helps to eat smaller portions on a smaller plate and bowl. It trains you to eat less and normal portions.
I hope this helps. Excersie by walking or doing something. If you stay busy this will help you lose faster.

Answer 6

What is it they say the body is weak but the spirit is willing, or is the other way round. Whatever, I think about becoming more healthy but that is as far as it goes. I have to admit to eating healthier but I need to exercise more, and at the moment I tend to just think about it. As a nation we should all redress the matter and not just think about it like I do, good question.

Answer 7

watch what you eat and do at least 1 hr of cardio 3x a week. Walking, Aerobics, Jump roping, exercises like that help. Also, if you are drinking pop, replace it with water and you will be amazed at how much you will lose.

Answer 8

I am a bad one to ask but watch what you eat, and go for a decent walk everyday.
Keep off the booze.

Answer 9

besides exersising..
you gotta tighten your skin
Lay out in the sun, it shrinks you skin, and tightens it
you could also check out a healthfood store
they might have some sort of cream to tighten your skin

Answer 10

do as many sit-ups you can a day. Stay away from high calorie and high fat foods. You can continue eating meat, but choose lighter fare like boneless, skinless chicken or fish. Most of all, stay away from fast food.
