go to www.menshealth.co.uk and buy the book "The Abs Diet" it worked for me, its a blokes book written in blokes language for blokes. It tells you why all the other diets do not work the diet allows you to eat 6 times a day and once a week for one meal you can eat what the hell you like!! You can drink alcohol too but it is a good idea to stop for the 1st 6 weeks of the program and you will see results honestly!!

fat is part of a balanced diet, and most foods you eat will at least contain some fat. The trick is not to go overboard and eat thing like chocolate and McDonalds which are really nothing but fat.

Abs has nothing to do with whether or not they show. Six packs are made in the kitchen, not the gym. Ever watch the worlds strongest man? Can't see an muscles on those guys.

Doing a lot of abdominal exercises everyday won't do much if you've got a layer of fat covering it.  Everyone has a six-pack, but it's hidden (under the fat).  You have to do cardio to burn body fat.  Just doing crunches will only strengthen your abs, not expose them.

Diet will play a bigger role in whether your have a '6-pack'. You'll need to get your body fat down to 10% or less for your abs to show. This is done by dieting, eating 5-6 small meals a day with enough protein, carbs, fat and working out.\n\nInstead of performing countless crunches, your abs will benefit more by performing exercises such as squats, deadlifts, chin-ups, and shoulder presses. All of these exercies will do more to strengthen your abs and give you the desired 6-pack.

you can't spot train fat.  you have to eliminate fat from your whole body.  also, ab workouts will make your abs stick out farther.  great abs are made in the kitchen, not the weight room.

Congrats!I lost 70 lbs. and I found that there is no possible way to spot reduce.Even from doing crucnhes and situps I still have a layer of fat over my belly.It's muscle under there you just have to do cardio to make it show.The first place you gained the weight in(your belly)is the last place you will loose it from.Keep your diet healthy with healthy carbs and continue exercising.

There are many exercises that will help train your core.  However, your abs will not be visable if your body fat is too high.  \n\nSo, do crunches, hanging knee raises, cable pull down, etc.... but keep the diet in check or you won't be able to see your hard work.  \n\nFeel free to contact me if you have more questions.

Ok, if you have a big belly, then you have fat on the stomach area. You need to burn fat, and you do that by doing CARDIO and NOT crunches (crunches or sit-ups are for strengthening the abdominal muscles). So, you should walk, jog, ride the bike, swim, or whatever you prefer, 3-4 x/w. If you don't exercise now, start slowly, 2-3 x/w, 20-30min, and progressively increase both frequency and time. You should also do the CRUNCHES to strengthen your abs. Do a variety of them. Once again, start with a small #, like 50 per day, and increase that every week or so until you feel satisfied.\nEating: eat clean. No fast foods. No sodas. No processed foods. Lots of fruits and veggies, lean meats, fish, egg whites, good carbs (grains mostly, wheat bread, oatmeal, etc.)\nGET MOVING!

It depends, to loose fat I recomend a product called the Access bar. It is a patened fat comversion bar. It stops your body from burning muscle durring exercise and froces it to take from your fat stores. Also it is stops lactic acid buildup witch means no sore muscles. Living in Wisconsin I love it whenever it snows I can shovel and not be sore for the next 2 days. Plus it almost tripples the amount of arobic endurance I have. Now if you want to shape a specific are and say get 6 pack abbs then you need to do specific exercises.

The amount of fat  you have is totally dependent on what you eat, how much you eat, and how much exercise you get. There really is now such thing as "baby fat". That's just something people have made up to to give false reassurance to their children, "Oh, that's just baby fat and you'll grow out of it.".\n\nI don't know how old you are, but you are never too young to eat a healthy diet with the amount of calories that will keep you from having to much fat on you. You are not too young to take a brisk walk every day and play in appropriate sports for for your age and health level.\n\nGod bless you and I wish you success in every area of your life.

To get a six pack you need to decrease your body fat to less than 8% approx. Doing sit ups will build your abs, but if you don't decrease your body fat you will never see the results of doing the ab work. You need to have a pretty strict diet and a rigorous exercise regime to have a fully fledged six-pack. You abs need to be worked every other day unlike most muscles in your body. The reps need to be very high, up to a 100-150 per set after you've been doing them a while. It's all about the cardio and your body fat levels though. Good luck mate.

There are two secrets to getting a six-pack.  The first is doing abdominal exercises ... and doing them the right way.  You need to incorporate exercises for the upper and lower abs, and also the obliques.  Also make sure you are doing the exercises correctly.  90% of the people I see in the gyms are working their hip flexors instead of their abs.\n\nThe second part is diet.  You have to lower your bodyfat percentage into the single digits so that your abs will show up.  IF you don't have a low body fat percentage, thenit doesn't matter how much muscle you have in your abs, cause they ain't gonna show up!

You can do 2000 crunches and never get abs.  The only way to make your abs show is to burn off the fat on your belly that is covering the muscle.  Everyone has a six-pack under the fat of their belly, but those who get theirs to show do it through strict diet controls.  You will have to start restricting calories consumed and start exercising to increase the number you burn.  If you are consistent you could get the results you seek in 10-12 weeks, if you are average now.
