Answer 1

do you have comcast on demand? if so, they have great ab workouts for FREE under sports and fitness, exercise TV! I use it, it's awesome!! Keep up the exercises and don't forget your cardio--it takes time but it looks like you are seeing results!!!

Answer 2

Well, you should start thinking of doing your exercise at another point of the day, if possible. Aside from that, do less amount-more pain. Try to take the exercises really slowly, straining those muscles to the limit, say 20 per set and do a few sets. Say five 20 rep sets for push ups and five for abs. Make sure you go REAL slow, real painful-like. This will give results. BUT, don't do it the next day. Your muscles need rest, else they can't grow. They start to get used to the abuse and don't give you results after a while. Then you start doing hundreds of any excercise and feel nothing. Do them well, and give em rest.

Finally, food. Try eating carbs in day time and protein at night (meat at night). Energy for dinner only gets you fat, you need to make your muscles sore and feed them some good meat at night to give em something to grow with. The energy in the morning and lunch give you what you need to be able to do the exercise. Also, try running, gets you skinny and makes abs more noticeable.

pushups don't help the abs.
If you have been doing 100 situps for more than 2 weeks stop it won't help and don't go up to 200, you will cause you abs muscles to shrink.
And you're doing sit ups everyday ! no wonder its hard to get bigger or better, some say if you over train your muscles burn and shrink but are stronger.

Do this instead in one time, don't divide them:-
1. 5x15 sit ups with 3 kg weights
2. 5x10 leg ups with 3 kg weights (lying on the floor)
3. 5x10 incline situps
4. 5x10 leg ups (hanging on bar)
5. 5x10 decline sit ups.

Do this only for 3 times a week (tuesday,thursday,saturday).
Add weigths up but 2kg every 5 times of training

Eat lots of protein, after training your abs will sore, because your muscle are burnt, torn and many more, protein will repair and build your muscles back slightly larger each time.

Eat 2 times more protein than your weight in pounds, if you are 150 pounds you should eat 300 grams of protein.

IF YOU DONT HAVE WEIGHTS YOU CAN FILL A PLASTIC BAG OF SAND AND WEIGHT IT.
NO WEIGHTS NO GAIN.

you should have time for this training as you're not doing it everyday and it will only last about 45 minutes to one hour.

THE REASON YOU TRAIN LESS IS TO ENSURE YOUR MUSCLES ARE FULLY REPAIRED BEFORE THE NEXT EXERCISE, IF YOU TRAIN EVERYDAY IT IS NOT REPAIRED AND WILL STAY THE SAME !

Answer 4

Change up your ab routine. There's all types of exercises to do. Maybe on week 1, you do sit ups. Week 2 is crunches. Week 3 is bicycles. Week 4 are supermans. The trick is to shock your system so that it does not get used to the same activity all the time. Vary your routine, and make sure that you pick exercises for upper, lower and obliques.

Answer 5

"Set your watch to beep every 30 seconds, and begin the first ab exercise.

Do as many repetitions of the selected exercise as you can until the watch beeps.

At the beep, switch to the next exercise, which should work a different part of your stomach.

If you become fatigued before 30 seconds is up, simply rest until the next exercise begins.

Start with just 6 minutes total. Longer than that and you might have trouble getting out of bed the next day. Gradually work up to 12 minutes total.



There are many abdominal exercises besides the basic crunch. Here are just a few, along with the abdominal muscles they target. You can also invent your own.

Ins and outs: (upper and lower abs) Lie on your back, hands at your sides or under your buttocks. Move through the following four positions: (1) legs extended and 6 inches off the ground; (2) legs bent and pulled toward the chest; (3) legs extended up to the ceiling; (4) legs bent and pulled toward the chest again.

Crossover crunches: (obliques) Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. With your hands behind your head, raise your shoulders off the ground and twist toward your left knee. Lower to the starting position and repeat, this time twisting to your right knee.

Straight-leg flutter kick: (lower abs) Lie on your back with your hands under your buttocks and both feet 6 inches off the ground. Keeping your legs straight, kick your feet in a flutter-kick motion.

Dying cockroach (sorry PETA): (upper and lower abs) Lie flat on your back with your legs straight, heels just off the ground, and arms extended above your head. (Be careful not to arch your lower back.) Lift your legs while simultaneously raising your chest and reaching for your toes (your body makes a "V"shape). Return to starting position.

End your circuit-abs workout with the following stabilization exercise. With this one, try to hold the position for 60 seconds, but don't be surprised if you're shaky after 30.

The stabilizer: (entire abdominal area) Think pushup position here, except your body weight should be resting on your forearms instead of your hands. Push your body to the "up"position, tighten your stomach, and keep your shoulders, back, buttocks, and heels in a straight line. Now hold. "

this is the hardest ab workout i have ever done it will build deep abs wich will help with your sports and overall posture...ab formation is genetic. like my left abs are more pronounced then right, some peoples abs are aligned crooked etc.

make sure you skip at least one day between doing this excercise as excercising doesnt help your muslces...resting from excercising does. also what i do is get a yoga ball and sit straight on it while squeezing your abs when doing computer work or homeowrk this helps...also during class sit up straight and squeeze your abs. (slouching hurts abs)

runnersworld.com has some great stuff just type abs in the search...

The only thing I can think of, would be to do more situps and more pushups. The only other thing is weights, but you said you wouldn't use weights. You may just wanna browse the internet for 'ab exercises.' Use google.com it is better.
Oh, and watch what you eat. Don't eat a bunch of candy or sugary stuff.

Hope that helped.
