yo, calm down, man. what's wrong with you, acting like you lost your testicles....hahahaha... \n\nAight, man.. best way to do this is by the text book. You got a layer of fat, which is not bad. you'll be doing this at home, so you're limited to some exercises, but i like ya, man, so i'm gonna help ya. Aight, how bout we both race to the six pack? my girlfriend has been buggin me for a couple months to get them, so i'll race you to it, email me on July 24th and tell me if you got em.\n\nhaha, ok, so for your pecs, you're going to want to do a lot of pushups and butterflies. Do your butterflies in the doorway of your room. Lean into the door way and and place your hands on the sides of the doorway, lean in and get a good stretch then push back until your arms are straight, then lean forward again. this should be in a nice rhythm, 1 second up, 2 seconds down. Same with your pushups. What i do with my pushups is for my pecs, my elbows are out away from my body and for my triceps i keep my elbows tucked in to my torso. trust me, you'll feel the difference. Once, you start getting good, after a week or a week and a half, place your feet up on your bed, sofa or chair, the higher you place them the harder it is. but start them at the level of a chair, and do the sam thing. you'll feel it much more, if you're already good at pushups and can do, 40-50 in a row, start your pushups off this way. Also, instead of placing my hands on the floor, i grab dumb bells and do pushups, that way i am a little off the ground and can get a better strecth.\n\nAight, for the six pack, i hear that the bicycle situps work the best and the burn the most too, you'll feel the burn. Also, i have a swiss ball that i do my situps on, you'll be able to find a whole bunch of exercises for that. But, i do crunches on my swiss ball and i sometimes do them with a weight that i hold over my head so that my abs have to pull more weight, man it burns like a.... anyway, the most important thing is that you contract your ab muscles and not push or jerk your body up. bring it up slow, 1 to 1 and a half seconds, then down 2 to 2 and a half. when you are letting your ab muscles go, that's when it burns the most. if you've been doing situps and crunches already, maybe you are ready for a weight to either hold over your head and do crunches or to put on your chest. but don't forget reverse situps either, man, they're really important.\n\nAfter all of this, man... you have to run. Cardio after a werkout burns more fat than if you do cardio before a workout. and you got a layer of fat on you, i don't know what your body fat % is, but you need to get under 10% to be able to see them ab muscles, man. I was at a 9.8 when i ran the philly marathon and i could barely see them... i'm maybe at 11.5% now. but, i suggest running maybe 3-4 miles every other day and then upping it every week. Also, if you don't got some barbells, get em to work out your biceps and you may want to werk out your shoulders a little too.\n\nDieting- I don't believe in dieting that much, i eat whatever, or at least i used too, but diabetes runs in the fam, so i had to learn all that stuff, so, when i was running a lot last year, i would eat a lot of high protein stuff. Salmon, salmon is great for your abs, almonds are awesome for your abs too and supply energy for running, i eat yogurt, fruit on the bottom stuff. Also, try and drink a lot of water, if you don't like water, like me, drink propel, they got a bajillion different flavors. \n\nbut hey, you need anymore help, contact me. And like i said, i'll race you to the sixpack, i got to get in shape for modeling anyway, for my girlfriend, if you know what i mean?\n\naight man, i hope i helped.

To find out how to get the ultimate in push-ups go to the website below. Check out books by Pavel Tsatsouline. He trained the Special Forces of the former Soviet Union. You will find that in addition to how many you do,  HOW they are done is critically important in getting the most out of the workout and in preventing injuries.\n\nIn general, it is necessary to create a good deal of tension in your muscles, and whole body, for that matter, to quickly and efficiently build strength and stamina in the muscles.\nThe methods he employs have been scientifically validated over the years by many Russian and Eastern European scientists. They really do work.\n\nAND--if you want a terrific full body workout--explore the information on the Russian Kettlebells! Incredible! You'll never want or need to go to a gym again.\n\nHAVE FUN!!!

For pushup improvement do the following.  If you can't do them all at first or if it is too easy then adjust as necessary for you.\n\nPUSH UPS  5 - 10 sets, of 10 - 15 reps each.  ( between each set vary how far apart your arms are.  regular, wide armed, and close hand )\nThis will help you hit all the major muscle groups there in your chest, arms, and shoulders.  \n\nPUSH UP PYRAMID.   Start with 15 reps,  take a break for a few seconds do 14, take a break for a few seconds and do 13.  Continue until you get to 0.  If you feel up to it then start at 1 and go back up the to 15.\n\nPUSH UPS FOR SPEED.  Do as many good push ups as you can do in 2 minutes.  Multiply this number by 2,  take a break for about 5 minutes and do the number you came up with at your own pace. No matter how long it takes.  Do this for a few weeks then time yourself again.  You will notice an improvement in how many you can do in 2 minutes.  Great if your in the Army like I am  for improving your Physical Fitness score.  \n\nFor your abdominals.  I suggest doing the following in addition to situps.  abdominal crunches,  oblique crunches, and flutter kicks.\n( do a search for these excersise to learn how to do them)\n\nAlso you should take up an activity like jogging or running.  This should be done on alternating days about 3 times a week.  \n\n\nYou can always add lots more and vary your work out in anyway you want.

along with sit ups and crunches, you have to do some cardio (walking,running,aerobics)you have to burn the fat as well as build the muscle in your stomach.If you don't do cardio with the push ups , your stomach could actually get bigger!

Try one armed push ups on the side needing the extra work out. Focus more on that side in all your work out until things even up and they will. If you can't do one arm push ups just keep at until one day you can do one. Bust muscle fibers and them repairing themselves is how muscle is built. Be careful though, don't over do it, and don't hurt yourself.

Methods of working up to the Planche\n\nInitially perform in tuck position with your knees pulled to your chest. Straighten your legs a little when you are able to hold the position for 10 to 15 seconds. The progressions can be: tight tuck, partial tuck, straddled legs, and legs together. \n\nBegin in push-up position with your feet supported by a chair, step, etc. that is the same height or higher than your shoulder. Lean forward employing all of the tension techniques. You will begin to feel the pressure of your feet on the supporting object decrease. The goal is to lift and hold the feet completely of the object. \n\nHope you get there!

stick to running and pushups for the next two years or so, there are so many body building exercises you can do without weights.  calf raises where you stand on a stair with your heels hanging off and raise up on your toes, you can do one or both feet at a time.  Lunges.  Any sort of lifting of your body or body part where you can feel resistence will strengthen ur muscles.  Email me for more exercises if you want, i can think of at least 50 more.

you're a girl... try girl push ups first, knees on floor, not toes. ok ok still to hard?  same position but get a little tiny bench 6=12 inches high, hands go on the bench.  ok ok you are such a wimp, start with stand up at an angle against the wall.  then do the bench, then do the incline (the first i mentioned).  i can whip out 50 handstand push ups and believe me i don't look like arny, but i have way strong arms and sholders.  try it.  good luck.\non also get into doing crunchies, make you belly strong so you can do regular push ups.  don't try all this in one day mind you.

running will realy help u in incresing the number of push ups u can do,since it enhances ur breathing and tightin all ur body in general,the key in increasing the number of push ups u can do is in organizing ur breathing very well,inhale and exhale deeply,and have a right pause on the ground,must be in right postion,and have some determination and well power.

Do some push ups and jumping jacks.  Nothing like some cardio & exercise to get the heart pumping, the muscles moving, and the brain flowing.

given your preferences--\nit's about the basics\n\ndo pushups with various hand positions\nthe closer the hands are together--the more triceps are being used; the wider you place your hands--the more chest you use;\ndo plenty of these--like 3 sets of 10 with rest in between--if you get good at these--then do more--3 sets of 20--or as many as you can do\n\neat lots of protein--good protein like lean chicken, fish, beef, etc--and stay away from junk food--hamburgers, pizza, etc\n\ngood luck

Sit-ups are good.  Also try doing this sit-up variation—lay on your back, put your hands behind you head, bring you knees up to your chest.  Then stretch one leg out straight (lets say the right one), making sure that it does not touch the floor but remains parallel to it. Leave your left leg bent against your chest.  Take your right elbow across and touch your bent left knee.  Then bring your right leg back up to your chest, stretch out you left leg and take your right elbow across to touch your bent right knee.  This exercises most of the muscles in your chest and abdomen as well as the muscles in your back.

Lay flat on your belly with your head up, then push yourself up on your arms till they're straight, then push up with your feet, toes bent forward until you legs are locked straight, keep your head up looking forward, then let yourself down by unlocking your arms but keep your legs locked straight when your chest hits the floor push back up with your arms, do it til you can't anymore. Also to get in better shape running is the key not pushups! Run everywhere you go, you'll start to see the change in a couple of weeks.
