Do you have to be a certain weight for your abs to show?

Your weight can vary. It's a low percentage of body fat that will allow your muscles to show. You shouldn't aim for a number on the scale. Everybody is different in their physical structure. Go by body fat percentage and just by how you feel and look.

Hi!  No matter how hard you work out your stomach, you can't really spot reduce that area. No matter how rock-hard your abs are, if you have body fat over top of them, you won't get to see them.  That being said, you need to change your body composition to increase muscle mass and decrease body fat. To do this, focus on strength training for your whole body combined with cardio activity and of course, eat healthy.  You won't see results over night, but every little bit helps. You can definitely search the internet for full-body strength training programs and good ab exercises.  Cardio is anything that gets your heart rate up (running, biking, etc.).  Avoid processed, greasy, junk food.  Drink lots of water.

You can't spot reduce, so no, you won't be able to target just the fat stored in your stomache area.  You can do crunches (all types) to tone up your abs.  If you do variations of crunches and work on your upper body, that should be good.

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

You can do crunches.  I would not add weight because you don't want to make your ab muscles bigger, because that will only increase the size of you belly.  You will also not lose weight by doing crunches or sit-ups, diet and exercise is key.

no more than 70kg.....unless you are Mr Olympia body builder, then I'm sure you would be over 100kg and look pretty good.

In order to have good abs you MUST have a low body fat level, at the least in the single digits.  If you have too much bodyfat, then you can have the biggest abs in the world, but they won't show up because the fat sits on top of the muscle.  So diet and cardio are both crucial if you want to have great abs.\n\nAs far as exercising goes, abs are tricky.  You need to make sure that you are doing the exercises with good form.  90% of all people do ab exercises wrong.  It's way to easy to use the hip flexors instead of the abdominals.  Proper crunches will work the abs, while sit-ups mainly work the hip flexors.  Check the link below for good instructions on different ab exercises.\n\nFinally make sure you are doing exercises for each of the different muscles that make up the whole "abs" ... the upper abs, the lower abs, and the obliques.  Good luckl!!!

Your ab muscles are no different than the other muscles in your body. They need time to recover from exercise. For maximum results, don't work them everyday. Every other day is best.\n\nIf you are trying to get your "six-pack", crunches are not the way to go. Everyone has a six-pack, but for most people, a layer of fat covers it. Even though you have a flat stomach, you probably still have just enough body fat to cover them up. It is important to eat properly and exercise to burn this fat.

Everbody has abs and you can have the strongest abs but if you have fat covering it up, then there is no point. The abs are made up of 3 parts side, upper and lower. my cousin is a trainer and he taught me this exercise and its a killer. You do 25 crunchers and then 25 crunchers to the left and 25 to right. Then you hold dumbbells in your fist to keep your hands down when you are going left to lift your leg up and down. when you are going down, go slowly. When you do these exercise you should contract your muscles. Do 3 sets of this and you are probably sore the next morning but it feels good. if you get to a point where go can do it easily and then go to 50. You have to lower your % of fat which means cardio if you are fat or if your just skinny, then all you need is to built up your abs. For most people it is losing the fat, where you could do half an hour of stair master which like 500 calories times 7 days equal 3500 calories. 1 pound of fat equals to 3500 calories. So if you burn 500 a day and cut back 500 from your diet. Then you would lose 2 lb week which means 8 lbs in a month, if you stick wit it. For diet wise, drink more water and no soda, the carbs are too high. You cant have candy and too much beer. you should have a low carb high protein diet. if you follow what i told you i can 95% than you have abs very soon.

If you diet correctly and are strict no cheating and beat your abs hard either every day or every other day you should reach that goal withing 8 to 12 weeks. Really hit the abs hard though for the muscle and diet to see the muscle.

Sound like you're off to a great start! Try adding some weights and squats to your routine. Any weight bearing exercise will add muscle. Just remember to hold in your abs to protect your back plus give them more of a workout. Also important is protein. Make sure you are getting plenty of protein to help build muscle mass. Good luck

I dont know if 6 packs abs are a kind of ab excersice.. \n\nbut if you have a six pack, means that you excercise enough so that the is no fat around your ab muscles.. which means there is not a lot of fat anywhere else.. \n\nfat gets burned whenever you are excercising .. it doesnt really matter where it is stored

If you have fat stored around your abs no matter how much muscle you build underneath it won't show.  You must first lose the extra inches, which can be accomplished by increasing or implementing a cardio workout.  You can start slow, such as walking for 30-40 minutes per day, and add strengthening exercises for your abs.  I recommend doing Pilate ab workouts because they stress the use of your core muscles and tighten your entire ab area.  But remember you must get moving to lose the extra fat around your belly before you will notice the results.  I hope it works for you.

Ok, you already have abs....believe it or not. And dig this, the reason you don't see the defined muscles, is because there's fat on them. Oh my goodness, to lose fat, means to lose weight. Sorry, Logic dictates, it just won't work any other way.

I have a really close male friend who is really fit. He has a six pack, he's all muscle, and he's not fat at all (he has a BMI of...what, 17?). I on the other hand have a BMI of 20 or so and i'm considerably heavier and actually taller than he is. But, he doesn't mind at all. I don't think that a boyfriend should like his girlfriend for what she looks like (except if the looks were to the extreme of the scale) and nor should he judge by her weight. You seem fine. Plus, most guys want girls to ... look like a girl. With a chest and all. All of my guy friends think girls with abs is weird, lol. Just be happy with who you are! Be confident! Your boyfriend will still love you no matter what because you are who you are.

Save your money. There is no device that will give you "six pack abs". The only way to get them is to reduce your body fat. Everyone has them, but most people have too much layers of fat to have them show. If you really want to spend your money, buy a fitness ball. They do an excellent job of strengthening your core. Much more than any device you see on TV will.
