Avatar f tn There is no injection that I am aware of that will "fix" this, however, I would suggest that you look at your workout routine and reduce the exercises you are doing for the obliques. You may also want to consider some band stretching exercises, pilates or yoga to help lengthen those muscles while also keeping your core in shape. The transverse abdominal muscle is a most important, yet many times gets overlooked.
Avatar f tn Running, tennis, kickboxing and rowing all use the core to stabilize the upper body during the workout. The abs engage, and at the same time get stronger and more defined. Doing ab exercises is the best way to sculpt the six-pack. While the rectus abdominus is the muscle that forms the washboard look, you don't want to ignore the other muscles, especially the internal and external obliques, which are used in rotation.
Avatar m tn I can't help you greatly, but maybe a little...? Are you doing "different" ab exercises? "Abs" aren't just 1 set of muscles (your abs are actually a group of 6 muscles)...so you shouldn't just work them 1 way. It is very good that you are resting at least a day between ab workouts - ALTHOUGH some experts say that abs are the only muscle group that can be worked every day. The rectus abdominis muscle is the one responsible for the "6-pack".
4347624 tn?1353481573 On weekdays i do 20-30 mins of high intensity aerobic workouts daily and i mix up 3 days a week 20 min abs,obliques and thigh and butt workouts. On weekends i usually do a 20 minute high intensity aerobics in morning and a 50 minute in the afternoon. But i keep feeling dizzy and sometimes feel too weak to follow through the end of the workout. Today i almost fainted and i don't know why.
Avatar f tn I really feel motivated to exercise and workout the muscles that haven't been used in probably 8 years. lol! Back when I was 14-17 I would join my father in the gym, but his trainer gave me different things to do to just be fit and toned. I do have some equipment at my house and my husband works crazy hours so we can't just go to a gym. Plus, I would like to look semi-decent to be able to even show up at a gym. (Yea, I've let myself go that bad.
Avatar f tn Abs aren't really the core -- those are the muscles beneath the ones you can see. The only way you're going to get there is to work hard at training. Do you have access to a good personal trainer? Also remember that women have a harder time getting the definition men can get because of lower testosterone. When you see anyone, though, with those really tight abs they either work incessantly at it or they're taking steroids, especially the women.
Avatar n tn I'm kinda out in the boonies, no town large enough nearby to support having a gym. What I would love are some exercises to do at home....I don't really have equipment.
Avatar m tn Generally, you should take breaks when working on specific muscle groups. Give your abs at least a day of rest between each session, and you'll get better results. It gives your muscles time to heal, especially after an exhausting workout. I hope I helped!
Avatar f tn I lost 25lbs un 3 months and i got pregnant. I workout 3-5 days a week. I want to stay in shape throughout my pregnancy so i can bounce back to normal after giving birth.
1107486 tn?1258400832 Before I go to bed everyday I do 50 situps for upper abs, 20 side crutches for my obliques, 20 knee raises for my lower abs. But, I try to do different exercises each night. Like one night is all about abs and the next night is all about legs. I'm doing everything right but I'm not getting the results wanted. HELPP!!
Avatar f tn I ate healthy and did crunches and obliques along with lemon squeezers. I went down to a size 2 and I was a size 5 before that pregnancy. I will be doing the same after this pregnancy.
Avatar n tn It is known that you have to do abs exercise everyday or at least 6 days a week. So I'm thinking, should you workout your abs after all other body parts during that day or you should workout the first thing before any other body parts?
Avatar f tn Repeat the motion on the right side. Work up to two to three sets of this movement. Aim to tone the abs at least two times a week. Leave a day in between muscles strengthening sessions to allow abdominal muscles to rest. The pelvic tilt is another exercise that strengthens the love handle area. Lie flat on the floor with your knees bent a little. Slowly lift your buttocks towards the ceiling, contracting the abdominal muscles. Hold the movement for 10 seconds and repeat.

Avatar m tn I have a routine for what I workout weight wise (whatever workout the coach gives us) but I want to be able to see my abs... I have a layer of fat over them.
Avatar n tn It has helped me immensely educating me about the best combination of foods paired with the best use of weights. You can workout at home with a minimum of weights and fitness equipment. By making some (not a lot - mostly cutting back on added sugars) necessary diet changed you will feel awesome by July, on the right path to a fitter you and healthier lifestyle. I know you can do it even if it takes longer than my time frame you'll learn so much during your journey.
1292438 tn?1276120904 Im just wondering.. what are the best work outs for abs/lower body? i'm already pretty fit and im a soccer player. i play competively and im just wondering what the best work outs are for abs and legs?
Avatar n tn When I did crunches I always put my fingertips behind my ears without any pressure. Your abs should be the only thing working your body during an ab routine. So definitely try again but maybe try a more recent workout. There's a GREAT ab workout routine at s park p eople (no spaces) and the trainer will talk to you about how to do them without straining your neck. Good luck!
8793709 tn?1409594060 hi ladies I'm 8+5 now, and try to hit the gym around 4 times a week. I stopped using the hip abductor and adductor, which strengthen the hip and inner/outer thigh muscles. I'm equally uncomfortable/insecure about doing the ab-machine (crunch thing) ... even the rowing machine seems a lil too rigorous. as of now I only do the cross-trainer for around 50 min which burns 500cal.
Avatar f tn Not that anyone knows how to best work the abs, though, as far as I can tell. For six pack abs, quite frankly, most who have them don't get them through exercise -- it's a sure sign of steroid use, since the belly should have some fat. You'll never see agricultural or hunter-gatherer cultures with flat stomachs. Other than this, the above post is right on.
703362 tn?1427766328 The exercise that I would like to talk about today is called "Plank". It requires no equipment, not a lot of time, and you don't have to be at a gym to perform it. Looks quite easy, but looks can definitely be deceiving....I would like for you all to give it a try and tell me how you did. Plank Exercise (see photo above): Works: Core How To: Assume a push-up position, then rest your forearms on the ground and hold for 30 seconds. Repeat as tolerated.
Avatar f tn 1. Eat more calories than they burn during the course of the day. Take 200-250 calories over maintenance. 2. Go to the gym on a regular schedule. 3. Lift heavier weights. 4. Drink half of your bodyweight in ounces of water daily so your muscles stay full and saturated.
Avatar f tn Whenever I do abs exercise, during workout I notice sticky transparent fluid discharged from my penis. Is it normal?
