When I was young I was a gymnast. One day I was working pommel horse without a shirt and a basketball player asked me how I got my rippled stomach. I never really thought about it, I just said I worked pommel horse.\n\nLooking back I realise it was a combination of things - I was young, athletic and skinny.\n\nA couple years ago "Men's Health" had a cover story on abs doing a test with a set of triplets. I can't remember the exact tests. One focused on heavy ab exercises. One on diet. One did a combination of light ab exercises and overall fitness. The third had the best results.\n\nYou can have the best ab muscles in the world, but if they are covered in a thin layer of fat you won't see them. Good Luck.

well for getting abs do basic crunches, side crunches and there is a 8 mins video which is very famous. U can follow the video.\n    Plz note one thing that if u r lean and slim u will get abs quicker while if u fat it will take time.\n   Also remember dont exersixe too much. Listen to yr body. And it is said slow and steady wins the race. Do regular exersixes and do situos, push ups if u r fit and drink lots of water.\n      iam sure if u put effort u will get what u desire. Best of luck!\n\nIam a fitness trainer and if u need consultation u can contact me on tutul_chakraborti@yahoo.com

Pray.  It wont happen.  Seriously though, set achievable goals and with some hard work, you will have a nice set of abs in no time.

You don't need super strong abs to have a washboard stomach.  But you need to be very lean.  You'll have to exercise and eat a healthy diet.

good job. if you'd really like to target the ab area, lay down and put your feet on the wall in front of you. the straighter your legs are, the lower of an area of your abs your targeting. is your knees are bent, your working the upper abs. also buy some free weights so you can lift those when your just hanging around. vitamin water and propel fitness water is good and tastes fruity. that should help your sweet cravings a least a little bit

Cardio is the best, and fastest, way to get a six-pack. Doing situp and crunches won't help, cuz all they do is strengthen your abs. If you want your abs to show, though, then you need to get rid of the fat. What I used to do is ride a bike (stationary, or real) one day, run the next day, row (you know, one of those rowing exercise machines?), stair climber, and then do one of the others the next day. Then I would rest the next two days, and start over. Depending on your stamina, you should at least go for 30 mins at whatever pace you can hold; the important thing, however, is to keep your heartrate up above 100. At the time, for me, I would go for a heartrate goal of 170. There exists a chart that gives what heartrate for what goal at what age (ie, at age 20, to burn fat minimum heartrate is 150; to work on cardio minimum heartrate is 165). Something like that; and yes, that was an example; actual numbers vary. Hope that made sense.

you wont be able to see or get abs until you lose all the fat from your gut,so a diet which takes off the pounds slowly will do the trick because you dont want it to come back as fast as you took it off so patience is the key!any diet which is low in fat and contains freash fruit and vegies is the one for you,just remember you must be burning more calories than your eating!get a personal trainer to get you started and teach you the right way to train or excercise it will pay off in the long run! and dont forget its a goal which is a slow process and takes good will and hard work but once you get into it ,it will become normal for you,every beginning is the hardest!take your time

hi im a personal trainer.\nthe best exercises would be by doing exercises concentrating on the abs.such as sit ups, it will no take you long to do about 50 st ups each day. if these begin to get boring or too easy try ab crunches. another really good exercise is the reverse plank, (can be hard to hod for long time). or you could try when you lie on a flat surface on your back ars by your side, lift your feet 5-10 inches above the floor hold for 15 seconds and repeat 10 tims (twice daily). this will only take you about 5 minutes out of a 24 hour day! definately worth it.\n\nhttp://exercise.about.com/od/abs/ss/abexercises_10.htm (it might help)\n\nGood luck.

push ups (all the different ways to do them), crunches, sit ups, tri-cep dips, the plank for abs, bycicle crunches, leg lifts, leg pop ups, ab throws, chin ups..\n\nfor the leg lifts/leg pop ups you lay on your back with your hands underneath your loweback and you use your abs to lift your legs up to a 90 degree angle and then you slowly lower them back down and then repeat. don't let your legs hit the floor in between. it really squeezes your abs. do as many reps are you can.\n\nrunning really helps to burn fat off your bodyso that your muscles are not covered.

First and foremost, stay away from any ab machine as they are simply a waste of money and barely effective.\n\nI just love when people talk about doing 100s of crunches.  Waste of time and waste of energy.  The abdominal muscles work just like any other muscle and have to be challenged as such.  First of all, high-repetition crunches will work nothing more than your endurance.  If you want muscular abdominals, you have to challenge them with resistance and good form just like you would your chest, your back or any other muscle for that matter.  Targeting the correct energy system is imperative.  This means you should never enter into the aerobic phase of this exercise, ideally keeping it under 2 minutes at most.  \n\nThink of rolling a carpet and contracting fully on the top of the movement and squeeze.  If you do them correctly, you shouldn't be able to do more than 30 crunches.  Any more than that, and you're probably doing them half-azz, incorrectly or with a partial range of motion.\n\nFor the upper abs, focus on crunches which effectively work the abdominals better than sit-ups or any machine on the market.\n\nFor the lower abs, keep in mind there is very little muscle tissue there so decreasing levels of body fat is the most effective way to bring out the best in this area. Hanging leg raises, v-situps and reverse curls are among some of the best exercise for this region. Always make sure your pelvis curls up to maximize lower abdominal contraction during these exercises.\n\nAs far as fat loss and getting ripped goes, cardio, cardio, cardio. In the morning, on an empty stomach at about 70-80% of your maximum heart rate for about 30-45 minutes. This combined with a common sense diet will quickly shed body fat so you can actually see those abs you've developed. \n\nI would encourage you to seek the advice and guidance of a personal trainer in your area for further education on these principles. Please ensure you start off at a very basic level for crunches and cardio if you are a beginner.\n\nHere's a good list of ab exercises:\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/fitness/Strength_Exercises_abdominals.html

1) Have a good diet- washboard abs can be hidden if you have 8-10% body fat or more\n2) Exercise- Cardiovascular and Ab specific workouts 3-5 days a week\n3) Have good genetics because a lot of 'having great abs' is genetic.\n\nGood luck in your quest to rock hard abs and there benefits!

mix it up with situps and crunches.  When you go up hold yourself in the half way up position then go all the way up then hold in the halfway down position then all the way down.  Give yourself time to feel the burn when holding in the halfway positions.\nDo about 20 to 30 minutes of this everyday.  Also do not rest in the down position.  This will give you nice abs quickly.\nFor faster results do this in the morning as soon as you wakeup then again before going to sleep.\nBe sure to stretch your abs EVERY time you do this. before and after.\nGood luck!

I am telling you right now, be patient.  The first step would to be getting on a higher protein and carbohydrate diet with less sugurs.  But the best advice I can give you is go to menshealth.com and maybe buy those magazines, trust me, their tips on abs and bodybuilding really work.  Also, after a workout, have a protein shake, that works miracles

I am not an expert but I would think a lot of lower-abdominal targeting exercises like hip-ups, v-ups, reverse abs, pike ups, and I really love that ab stand thingie that allows you to do like a hanging leg tuck and also leg raises for your abs.  But really it is more about body fat than anything.  I mean I can do a gazillion abs a day but if I have body fat covering it it won't show.  Cardio is definitely necessary if you're wanting that complete ab look.

Two weeks is impossible to get abs. It would take almost a year of eating healthy and exercising 6 sessions per week. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.
