Avatar n tn Hi Everyone, I have been trying these for months and months but it doesn’t help me anymore. I am talking about six pack abs that I am trying to get. I joined a gym for this and the trainer told me that I would get them…but NOOOO!! That did not help me and later on I have tried a few tips that I have been suggested by my friends but that also was of no use (the whole thing helped the abs a little…but not as I wanted).

Avatar f tn I'm a nice guy when people aren't trying to flummox other people. What are we here for but to help other people instead of spreading misinformation, which is something you do a lot -- I don't think you do it unintentionally, I just think you do it because you read a lot of things and like to report them as if they're fact and not theory based on limited research.
Avatar m tn m a recently turned 18 y/o male, skinny, and my question is, how can I get my stomach in the picture shown below to a six pack? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Avatar n tn However, the length of time it takes to get-six pack abs depends upon your gender, how consistently you train and whether or not you have an excess amount of body fat. Strength train consistently and follow a hypertrophy, or muscle building, program. That's a high frequency of training sessions, with each session being of high volume. Rectus abdominus muscles like all muscles in your body require a rest from strength training, so allow 48 hours of recovery time between training sessions.
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.
Avatar n tn Im 16, female, i train allot and ive been trying to get a six pack for a while now and its not really working i can see some definition but im getting really frustrated, im not going to lie i do eat chocolate like around 2 chocolate bars at the weekend, do you think thats why im not getting my goal because of my diet? During the week i eat healthy foods though? Help!!
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".
Avatar f tn Unfortunately there isn't enough information about what you're exercise routine is. If all you're doing is cardio and legs...... You're not necessarily going to lose weight and it definitely won't get you a six pack. You're nutrition is going to be about 90% of it but if you want to see those abs you're going to need to change up your routine.
Avatar n tn For a six-pack to show, you must reduce body fat. The body fat percentage necessary to reveal a cut torso varies according to your genes and body type, but for most men, a percentage of 6 to 8 percent will reveal abs, while for women require a percentage of about 11 to 13 percent. To reduce body fat, reduce calories below what you burn daily, which can be determined by finding your basal metabolic rate. A 250- to 500- deficit daily will lead to a 1/2- to 1-pound weight loss in a week.
Avatar f tn 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. Strength isn't seen in big muscles, it's seen in the results of what you do and how well you move your body into your activity.
Avatar n tn Just wondering how do u tighten your lower abs cause crunches do the upper but not so much the lower,
Avatar f tn I got my six pack back after my first. After my 4th, it was harder. I was able to have definition but always had a bit of a pooch in the lower area. I'm sure it will be the same after babe 5.
Avatar f tn Diet is # 1! women have four abdominal muscles. Your ab workout has to be done very slow! Only diet and exercise can get rid of the fat that covers them. For women in particular, belly fat is an issue that gets more challenging with age. But even with flat abs, to build strong sculpted muscles requires eating a balance diet.The diet should include proteins, whole grains, fruits and vegetables and limiting or avoiding refined foods and sugars.
Avatar f tn Many articles written about the flat abs fantasy. One geneticist stated its all in the genes for having a six pack. The goal should really be to decrease belly fat. I work out a lot, but my body just will never have the Hollywood abs mythos and I am fine with that. You are right. Its not normal.
Avatar m tn A push-up not only helps you to get a stronger upper body, but also a stronger midsection. It incorporates the stabilization muscles of your core, combining an upper-body pushing movement with a plank. It is, in fact, one of the best and most basic exercises for your midsection. Push-ups are a higher value plank.
Avatar f tn People start asking, that never happend by my first pragnancy. Closer to the duedate, its becomming to be the same belly, it stopt growing (luckely).
Avatar m tn I just want to get better and not have to feel anxious every time I have to wait on testing and feel depressed knowing how weak I am right now. I've also been very self conscious because of my physical health.

But for now, I havent found that strength, and instead I find that I keep giving in to my delightful addiction, and find myself needing to open that third pack of cigarettes every day, and feeling guilty that I might have been born in the wrong time.

Avatar f tn I have read various articles that say to drink six to eight glasses of water a day while others say to drink twelve to sixteen glasses a day. What is the recommended amount? How much water do most people usually try to drink per day?
1156914 tn?1300571629 s great practice to force myself in a straight line so that if I ever get pulled over by the cops I know that I can do it *Turning your head on its side every now and again is also great, it helps you get a different perspective on things *Feeling tired 24/7 no matter how muchh you sleep trains you well for you need those extra hours to do something which results in less sleep but the same level of tiredness anyways *Moderately quickly declining eyesight is a very good way to get a new loo
Avatar f tn t get that flat stomach you seek however. Nutrition (diet) is the most important component to working towards a flat stomach. Good luck!!!
Avatar f tn Hey ladies, This is my first pregnancy. I am 7 weeks today. I am nauseated pretty much all day but what bothers me the most is that pre pregnancy all I usually ate was fruit veggies and proteins with some healthy carbs. Now I can't even look at veggies without wanting to throw up! I can eat fruit but I am going into carb overload I swear. I used to never eat fries or hamburgers, but that is all I can stomach now!
