do tricep extansion to "cut" your arms or shape more apropriately. lean on a bench with your knee and rest forward onto your arm grab a weight and extend the tricep backwards until you feel it burning.. do this with lightweight repeatedly. tricep is what gives your arm the "ripped" look.

For a six-pack you have to vary about 5-7 different kinds of ab workouts. Also do about 300 a day. That will definitely get you fast results.

the best way to tone in that area is to do 30 mins of cardio at least 3 times a week.  as far as exercises go for abs, do crunches with your legs extended straight up lying flat on the floor.  extend your arms above your head towards the ceiling.  raise your shoulders slowly upward, reaching your arms toward your toes.  do 4 sets of 12 crunches, during each set don't let your shoulders touch the ground.  for thighs lie on the ground with your feet flat on the floor.  raise your hips up and down, tightening your glutes (this will also work your butt).  alternate lifting one leg off the ground, holding it straight out.  also do 4 sets of 12.  if you have any other questions you can e-mail me at emmalee_1633@yahoo.com.  i am a certified personal trainer but i've taken a higher position at the fitness company i work for so i'd be happy to help you :)

Just keep it going and do what you are doing. Consider adding in some weights to your routine. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com\n\nYou can search the site for specific areas and do those exercises. It may just be a matter of toning. If you are really worried, get a personal trainer to provide you a program to do either from home or at the gym where you can work this area and tone. After a few months if you don't see significant improvement it may well be that you have to consider more alternatives and possibly surgery.

Just set yourself a goal for how many you can do in 2 minutes.  Do that three times a day, and very soon, you will have a six pack.  Since what you are doing is using your own weight, you can do it everyday without any problems.

I would start running .5 miles every other day and increase it for awhile, ask your recruiter. Start push-ups practice with a few at a time and every other day do as many as you can many times of the day. One day run, next day push-ups. Get a freind to help you and you will do fine. Good luck.

Push-ups and the bench press are designed to work out your chest!!! So, here it is for the chest mussel:  \n\nWhat's your goal?  Build 'Mass' or to be 'Lean' and have a cut definition??? \n\n* Mass - bench pressing with extremely heaviy weights.  Do 3 rep's of 8 at the maximum weight you can press.  It's highly recomended to get a spotter to ensure you're not whimping out and that you'll have someone to get the press of you since your goal is to work the mucels to failure.\n\n* Lean/Cut - Push-ups. Do 5 rep's of 25 push-ups.  This also melts away fat from your stomach and love handles since you need to engage your core part of your body during the exercise.\n\nMy preference for a man is the lean-cut muscle look.  I just want to take a sharp object and poke the muscle men to see it they'll pop and deflate quickly (giggle) ...\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nArms:  Which part ... Biceps ... Triceps ... Forearm ???  Mass or Lean ... Hmmm you may want to re-ask your question.

pushups to build pectoral muscles and back muscles, chin ups for arm muscles, and sit up for the abdominal burning\n\nStart with\n\nPush-ups:10 a day\nChin-ups:5 a day, Rest in between, lol\nSit-ups:15 a day\n\nprogress up at your own pace, also do some jogging or biking to burn extra calories. I'd also get on a diet, but not a severely limiting one, just watch what you eat and teach your body to enjoy a salad without a dessert, and so on

You like the Press Up (push up)? Well, here to do it:\nFor Beginner:\n1. Kneel down on the floor with your hands spread on the floor out in front of you, fingers facing away.\n2. Slowly lean forward so that your body weight is slowly transferred onto your arms.\n3. Bend your arms at the elbows, move closer to the floor.\n4. When you have got down to a comfortable position, slowly straighten out the arms and return back to the starting position.\n5. Repeat this exercise a further 3-5 times, making sure that you hold your abdominal muscles tensed throughout the exercise. \n\nOnly do as many beginner press ups as you can do so comfortably. You can build up the repetitions as your arms begin to get stronger. When you are happy with the Beginner Press Ups then have a go at the Full Press Ups below.\n\nAnd for the "not" beginner, Full Press Up. Feeling though-eh?\n1. Lie face down on the floor, elbows bent and hands up by the chest, palms facing forwards.\n2. Raise your body up by straightening the arms, keeping your whole body straight.\n3. Once you have reached the top of the Press Up and your arms have straightened out, hold for a second and slowly lower back down to the starting position (do not lie on the ground, stop just above the ground.)\n4. Repeat this for 3-5 repetitions, more if you are comfortable, making sure that you have your abdominal muscles tensed throughout the exercise. \n\nIf you want to make it a little harder, slow down the speed that you raise and lower your body. The great thing about Press Ups is that you can do as many as you like before you tire yourself out, and keep a target score that you can aim to beat tomorrow and then the day after.\n\nTry to visit this site, they have lots of information about fitness. In this page, they also have the Press Up one minute test, try it if you want. Hope this can answer your question.

Do some light weight lifting. Not serious heavy stuff - but enough that you feel a burn in your muscles. Strength training is the best way to tone - and you won't get huge muscles! Start with 5 - 10 pound weights and progress from there. It is a common misconception that women will get huge muscles by strength training - it's possible to do that but only if you want to. I work out at Curves - where I do cardio mixed with strength training. Yes, I've built some muscle - but I don't look muscular! I still have all my curves! I've lost over 50 pounds this way. Experts say that strength training is what is missing from women's workouts - but it's what we need the most!

You could do 5000 situps in a day and not get the results you want.\n\nResearch has come out that if you want to tone up, do cardio. Try pilates. Run.

how old are you? I do not recommend using free weights or machine wieghts for anyone under age 15. However, you can do some very good exercies that can buildup the upper body ro at least give you a great tone/beginning. 1) push-ups. 2) Hand stand push-ups, get next to a wall and flip your feet up to the wall so that you are standing on your hands. This is like a military lift. Only do a few of these at a time, blood rushes to the head.\n\nAlso, there are a great many iso-kenetic exercises you can do to isolate certain muscle(s) and groups. Don't forget the abs.

you should definately consider getting a membership at the gym if you dont have a weight set at home. just doing pushups and pullups just doesnt cut it. if u do have a membership and weights, you wanna create a weekly 4 day split.\n\nmonday= chest (incline, decline, and flat bench)\ntuesday= back (pullups, reverse curls, pulldowns, rows)\nwed=rest\nthurs= legs (squats, leg press, extensions, curls, calve raises)\nfriday= shoulders and arms (military press, lateral and front raises, bicep curls, dips, tricep pushdowns)\n\neat calorie dense foods and a lot of protein. for a lot more info than i can give you here, read some articles on www.bodybuilding.com good luck.

start out with those "girl pushups" where you put your knees on the ground, but your feet in the air (balance on your knees)\n\nso that your arms can get used to them and strengthen up.\n\nDo push ups and weight lifting every second day (as you need 1 day to tear muscle and one day to heal).\n\nTry 10 "girl" pushups every second day for a a month, then start increasing it by intervals of 10 for a few more months. \nthen you can gradually move on to regular pushups... start with 10 and increase each week.\n--------------------\nyou can't just strengthen your arms with the weights in order to get better at push ups because weights are strengthening just your arms but pushups strengthen your arms as well as under your arms- armpits which is why its hard to do pushups if you dont practice... and is why your armpits hurt the day after.

If you do crunches properly, you should not be able to exceed 30 reps.  Slow is key for abdomonial contraction.  Think of rolling a carpet.  If you're doing 50, 100 or more crunches, you're probably not doing them correctly.\n\nRegarding pushups, it depends on goal. For power, you will need ballstic and explosive fast movements.  For strength, 8-12 rep range at a moderate pace (2 seconds for a full rep).
