Answer 1

If you don't mind that I share with you an exercise that we did in the military I think this will help your abs.

We would do a modified version of the BEAR SITUP. We used a normal kitchen chair and sit in it sideways. Put our feet under something heavy like the dresser or stove or fridge and do sit ups by going all the way back to the floor and all the way back up. Each other pass back and forth twist to one side, then the other working both sides equally.

Warning,warning, warning!!! don't do more than 4 or 5 for the first time even though you might be pretty fit. That exercise is not for novices to abuse the first few times. Your body will figure out what your capable day two. Just do no more than 5 and see how well you roll out of bed tomorrow.

It's not the number of reps you do that build nice abs. You need to add resistance. Some guys do hundreds of crunches a day, but if they aren't adding resistance, all they are doing is building endurance.

To build the muscles, do 12-16 a day. Each day add resistance. To add resistance, you can do crunches/sit-ups on an incline. Each day increase the angle of the incline. Then add weight. Hold a 5 lb weight and do 12-16. The next workout, add 5 lbs. Each time add 5 more lbs.

It's difficult without equipment, but you can get weights pretty cheap at WalMart and places like that.

Cardio is not the panacea everyone thinks it is. Weight training is MUCH more important for losing fat and building muscle. Concentrate on lifting, and do cardio AFTER your lifting sessions.

See "The Testosterone Advantage Plan," by Lou Schuler. Excellent book that dispells the myths about cardio and the exercise needs of men.
