Flattening your stomach, Advice please... Options

[Guhk]

get used to jogging.
a brisk jog, you can burn hundreds of calories in minutes. the only problem is building the endurance to do so.
if you can jog regularly, youll see definite improvements in your body/endurance

well it might be different for you since im a guy, but it DID work for me.

[misz_ica]

yeah i know imma guy...in the girls locker room....get over it....
I've been working out for about 3 years now....it takes time your not gonna see results in one day....do a series of half way lifting sit ups to work your lower abs to define them. then make your elbows go toward your opposite knees in a pattern regular sit up, left leaning sit up ,right leaning sit up...regular, left, right..do this about 50-150 times..(This depends if your a beginner you should gradually work your way into more).Then do the full lifting sit up. regular, left, right...regular, left, right, in the same manner..to work on the upper abs..(50-150). after about a  month - 3 months you'll see some nice results....trust me. if your only gonna work out one day...don't even bother.

Hint: Make a schedule M- W- F- Sunday... give your muscles a chance to heal the day after the workout. without the proper healing you won't get any results. But you will gain strength. for definition on your stomach you MUST LET YOUR MUSCLES HEAL.
well need any more tips let me know...
later

he`s right. for me i do taebo & pilates & situps every other day when i have time & also job a mile or so whenever i can *that really did my legs good `=D*. but you have to put yourself into it and not do it without wanting to do it coz then you get tired more easily. also eat smaller portions, eat right and no more junk food! wells no more but dont eat that much junk food. drink lots of water too. it`ll work too wells.. for me `=D. take cares & God Bless

u can always roll a bottle of wine on it while watching tv for about an hour a day...sounds wierd but it workz...

[weirdness]

wow i think i'm going to start doing crunches and sit-ups :p

[dreamerOi]

sit ups . you know those weird crunches where you put one elbow on the opposite knee or whatever i heard that helps too.

[simx]

situps... and do cardio workouts... just doing situps and crunches won't really do much unless you do cardio...

[sexi mami]

hah same here 

yea me to.

[vampireduster]

crunches. i do those

[jyim]

this is a good topic. ;D

[EmmalieV]

^ no spamming.

Im going to take some of these things into consideration , i have a pouch-.

[Xprezsion]

I have a similar problem, but I have been eating healthier, drinking a lot of water and working out (abs, arms, legs), it seems to be working at a very slow rate.

[*mishyerr*]

Run. or get lipo.

[jue]

i guess just start excersing and eating healthy(=

[lilangelolove]

eat right, exercise (like everybody else said), and avoid starving yourself and avoid the commercial diets and diet pills. most of the time, u end up gaining the weight and fat back after you end a diet

[alliegrl_x]

don't listen to me. starve yourself.

lmao hate to admit it, but yeah that works too, to some extent. its terrible, dont ever do it, you mite get hooked and become some anorexia creep. When i stay up late to do hw and stress myself out i usually loose alot of weight. but im not gonna recommend you to stress yrself, thats idiotic. i bet crunches work..but i dont want any lady abs or anything..its kina gross.

[shortiiex]

do 1,000 crunches..not all at once...like break them to like 100 crunches per 30-minutes
do jumping-jacks

[toxic_s2]

sit ups and crunches.

in addition to that..you also want to lose the layer of fat covering your abs.

cus if you don;t..then it wouldn't really matter if you do all those sit ups if you have a layer of fat covering them.

so eat healthy, drink water, don't cut down on like..ALL foods...protein is essential if you want muscle...and fluids..are..VERy important.




but everytime i tell others that..and then i start thinking about it..i say to myself "i should really do that...." but then..after a week..i forget and become lazy.

blah...

[bad_girl]

hula-hoops x']

[sammi rules you]

not only situps work. that tones the muscles, but doesn't get off the fat from on top of the muscles.

last summer, at the beginning of the summer, i weighed 140. now i drink a LOT of pop, so this may not work for you, but i switched to diet pop and lost 20 pounds. o_o

i still have a little pudge and i don't like it either..somehow i'll lose it before summer.

[lauren5848]

ahaha starting from today; im doing sit ups ;p

lol so am i and i started following the food pyramid and drinking lots of water

:boxing:TAKE THAT FAT:boxing:

^another topic.

[iminlovewithTomD...]

crunches --> nothing more to say!

just do like 4 rounds of 25 crunches every day..

that should help.

also maybe eating healthier? haha... i should do these things..

[Becca Pearl]

ok well your best bet is to start out in a walk jog type deal. Like go to a track and walk one lap to get warmed up then jog one...encourage your self to keep it up...and not to stop. After you have at least one lap jogging start on a second around...walk one and jog two...then walk one more. Keep this up until you can go for a full job through out the whole time your out there.

In addition to jogging you may want to start on some sit ups. To make it easy on your self (so u don't have to have someone to hold your feet) put your feet under the edge of your bed and use that to hold your legs in place. Start off doing reps of 10...and keep working yourself up.

Another good thing to do is drink A LOT of water...no soda (pop or coke depending on where ur from) ...And you may want to look into a diet of some sort...I have a friend who did some kind of diet where she only ate chicken and drank water. It worked well for her.

To be honest getting in shape takes a lot of dedication. There are many times when u will want to quit. Remember this though...NO PAIN NO GAME...if that doesn't help...think of hot guys...cute bikini...no having to strain in order 4 ur stomach to look sexi...

GOOD LUCK!!!

bleh, it may cost you money for this, but you can try out DDR or Pump it Up . but if you don't wanna try it, then sit up, crunches, running around your neighborhood (maybe with dog, cat, whatever), sports like bball, cheerleading, etc . gah, i know people don't even read this anymore, but maybe some will . (:

[Die romantic]

There's some exercises up there, I'm just going to tell you to eat good too. Fruit and vegetables help your muscles to heal :]
