get on a good clean diet, keep up the cardio

and find a good hardcore ab workout,to really blast ur midsection

[workinhard811]

what Ab excercises do you do ??

[Nemra]

I did cut alot of fatty foods down, but i still eat alot of bread, does that have any affect on my abs? I need alot of carbs but at the same time i need to burn alot by doing cardio any suggestions?

ha ha i shoul dnot be posting here. Abs are not up to par with a lot of these/you guys/gals. As the good man before me said Diet cardio and some some good abb workouts. Diet being #1

[Nemra]

I do mostly decline bench sit ups, i work on my side abs too lower abs also, Leg raises for example.

[workinhard811]

looking for good cardio, look into HIIT

High Intensity Interval Training

burns a lot of body fat

[Nemra]

HIIT is great man. Remember to keep a clean diet though to get those chiseled abs. A wise man once said, "Abs are made in the kitchen, not in the gym. "

Why the heck would you cut fat? What do you think your body turns into fuel? Fat... what do you think your body turns into fat? Sugar, IE, carbs.

Why the heck would you cut fat? What do you think your body turns into fuel? Fat... what do you think your body turns into fat? Sugar, IE, carbs.

Your body uses mostly carbs for energy, followed by fat, and then distantly followed by proteins. eating more than the body needs of any of these 3 will result in getting fat.

diet, cardio is key.. good genetics is also key. i do alot of cardio and have alright abs. but my bodyfat is 12% i like to eat.

i always found though a diet is key. having a good ab routine will make your belly tighter.

crunches
leg lifts
side leg lifts

plank holds-- these are great... i feel it makes my tummy tighter...
