Tiff – it sounds like you are doing a lot of work and I’m sure the 6-pack is there. The problem is that women naturally carry a little more fat on their bodies than men.

The trick to getting the 6-pack to show is to get lean enough for it to be seen. But, getting that lean may be physically unhealthy depending on your body type. Don’t obsess over the 6-pack to the point that you hurt your health. Too lean is unhealthy.

Also, you are still very young. Your body will continue to re-shape over the next couple of years and you might just see those great abs magically appear without even trying too much. Keep exercising and be patient.

You could have a nice 6pack under there and no one would ever see it because of the belly fat. You should do some cardio and light arobics to get rid of the layer of fat, once that is taken care of you can work on the muscle.

300 crunches, how often? More then 100 a day is over training and not good for you. Like with most things there are limits

to little —–almost —– right ammount —– too much —– over kill

100 sit ups/crunches is between right ammount and too much.

admin answers:

Everyone has abs. Most people just have a layer of fat covering them. If you exercise at least 60 minutes a day, you’re probably burning the calories from the unhealthy stuff you eat. If you do crunches or other ab exercises, you’ll see improvement.

That would require you to have a pretty low body fat percentage…but with 7.6 you should be okay.

A reason why you don’t have the abs you want is because of your diet. Maybe you’re taking in too much sodium, which retains water, resulting in a soft look. You should also try some carb cycling.

admin answers:

The only way to lose that fat is by reducing your overall body fat. The most effective way would be starting a high intensity cardio workout. However, this may be counter productive if you also wish to gain weight. Your best bet is to go on a clean bulk until you reach your desired weight, and then start cutting until you get to the body fat percentage that you’re satisfied with.

Personally, i dont have nor have never strived for a six pack…i much rather have a back like a barn door, shoulders like anvils, legs like tree trucks and arms like…well, you get the idea.

I dont ever train my abs in isolation but i have a half decent six pack…just make sure you are heavy squatting, deadlifting and doing pullups with a light weight inbetween your knees to keep your body stiff and you will see definition.

Well, getting good looking muscles doesn’t come easy. You do have to work at it, but there are some better exercises to do than others.

Here’s a video that explains how to get ripped abs and lose fat:

Eat proper and instead of doing a certain number of sit ups like most people, you should do it for an amount of time like for example.

Wide arm sit ups= basically keep your legs bent and put your arms on your chest and as you sit up open up your arms wide.

Diving sit-ups= Put your hands forward like your going to dive in to a swimming pool and keep them out don’t bring them back in at all during the sit-ups and just sit up that way you are using your abs not your arms to help sit you up.

Bench press sit ups= place your arms as if you are about to bench press and sit up moving your arms in a bench press motion at the same time.

Below the kneecap sit-ups= keep your legs bent and put your arms out in front of you and sit up so your hands touch just below your knee caps.

Full sit-ups= keep your legs bent and put the tips of your fingers on the floor and sit up and touch your ankles trying not to use your legs to help sit you up.

The plank= this hurts you need to put your fists together so they are touching and point your elbows outwards a bit to make a triangle shape and then stretch out making sure only your forearms, fists, and tip of your toes are touching the floor and hold for 1 minute keeping your body as level and as straight as you can.

Do each of the sit-up excersises for at least a minute each then gradually add time as you get used to doing them..

Jogging is an excellent exercise because it let you lose weight
evenly throughout your whole body. If you want to lose weight in
specific areas, you should target them with exercises. If they are
your problem areas, they will be very difficult to tone. You will have
to work double on them. The best approach is this:
1. Lower/control your daily calorie intake (control for normal
weight, lower for overweight).
2. Run/jog to lower your overall body fat percentage.
3. Target your problem areas with exercises.
An excellent exercise, you can do it in front of your TV: sit on a
stool, and put your toes under something (piece of heavy furniture,
for example). In your hands hold a little dumbbell. Please, make sure
that it is not very heavy, start with one kilo, for example, or you
will damage your back and spine! Slowly move the upper part of your
body back, until it’s parallel with the ground. Stop for a second and
move it back to the sitting position. Repeat ten times. Every week add
to the number of repetitions. You will see the results in a week,
guaranteed! You will see or feel under the fat – if you have any – six
pack and muscles. Dumbbells do wonders. Much better than these
crunches – I came up to three hundreds and there was no results AT
ALL. With the dumbbells you will see it in a week.

For a six pack, ab workouts are the most important of the three. But of course you need lots of protien and carbs too. And if you don’t do cardio and stretch, your body’s functioning will always be lackluster no matter how good it looks.

If you have time and access this would be perfect
