six pack abs without cardio?

Question

Hello. Basically, I do reps of crunches and sit ups every night. I can see muscle, but it seems to be covered by a little bit of fat. I was wondering.....is there a way I can get some nice abs by just exercising and a good diet? Or is cardio a must? (dont have much time for cardio :( )

Answer 1

You have time for cardio. Do you watch TV? Do you cruise the internet? If either answer is yes, then you have time for cardio.

You have to lose the body fat to see your abs.

Walk for 30 minutes every day including weekends, Mondays, and Fridays. Do at least 30 minutes of weight training each week. Do 60 minutes of additional, higher intensity cardio each week. You don’t need additional equipment—infomercial products like the Ab Lounger, Sauna Belt, etc. are all worhtless so don’t waste your money.

Cut back on the foods you eat with high fat and high sugar content. Eat only single servings (read the label) with less than 3 grams trans fat and 3 grams sugars. Your primary source of sustenance should be grilled boneless skinless chicken breasts and canned tuna (in water, not oil). No dairy (except low fat cottage cheese occasionally); no processed meats; no heavy sauces; no chips, cookies, sodas, breads, etc.

Eat breakfast, and eat five small meals per day instead of three big meals. Don’t starve yourself during the day, but if you don't wake up famished, then you ate too much the day before. Stop eating at least two hours before you go to bed.

Get 6 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Turn off the TV and the computer. Sleep is vitally important.

Don't consume alcohol—alcohol is nothing more than empty calories with no nutritional value. Some people will argue that alcohol has some health benefits when consumed in moderation—I’m not debating that—but we’re talking about weight loss here. Lay off the booze if you want to lose the fat.

Drink lots of water, then drink more. Not tea, not Gatorade, not milk. Water. If your urine isn’t almost clear, you need to drink more water.

Good luck.

If you eat enough, cardio won't burn your muscle just fat.For a six pack you should lift and do cardio and eat cleanly. You need to get your bodyfat below 10 percent and you will have a six pack. It's mostly about how you eat anyways. You need to talk to a personal trainer and/or a c.s.c.s. You don't understand exercise that much.fast twitch and slow twitch muscles are groups of muscles. You can't make fast ones slow or slow ones fast. Get a book and read ,you will learn lots.The only way you lose muscle is when you exercise and don't eat enough and your muscles turn catabolic which means they eat themselves instead of growing which is anabolic.Also you might be overtraining your muscles, you need proper rest. f yall

Answer 3

if you already diet right, you'll need cardio. you can get a cardio workout with weight training if you do it right.
Park father away at work and take the stairs. Every little bit helps when you're really trying to get cut.

good luck.

Answer 4

the cardio will eliminate the last layer of fat ,whilst you could do it with crunches and diet it would be very hard as ther will always be some fat left .

Answer 5

Continue with the practices.
