Do you have to lose weight to gain abs or to make your abs bigger?

Answer 1

Cardio equals abs; working abs while overweight can make your stomach look fat.....Cardio is the way to go then may I suggest a ab lounge....If your only ike 10 to 15 pounds over weight go for the ab workout; it makes your stomach go in instead of out; but if you have alot of fat on your stomach the ab muscles will grow and your stomach will look fatter.

Answer 2

If you have anything that jiggles on your stomach, then this will need to be exercised away. You can tone the ab muscles underneath but until the fat is gone on top you won't be able to see the toned muscle, does this make sense? One will need to lose weight and tone the abs at the same time. If you're thin, just do exercises to tone the abs. It has to do with diet too-

Answer 3

The most important thing is losing weight. Bigger abs are good, but if they are covered with fat, noone will see them.
Lose weight.
