Trying to get flat abs.?

2007-12-03 5:38 pm
Alright so I asked a question about how often one should do ab exercises to achieve results and many told me to do cardio as this will get rid of fat overlaying my abs. Here is my plan, 4-5 days of cardio for 20 minutes a day and 3 days a week of ab exercises 15-20 minutes each session. Would this be enough? Or would I need to push myself more.

I think you may consider extending your cardio to 30-45 min a session. I've done some searching online, most of the info points out our body will start burning fat after 15 min of Cardio. And you can maximize it by keeping your heart rate within your Fat Burning Zone 65% to 85% of your max heart rate (220-age, 223 for female). As for ab exercises, most experts suggest no more than 2 days a week, in order to give the ab muscles to be repaired from exercising. But the most important factor for abs is dieting, abs are from kitchen not from gym. Low carb high protein diet all the way. Good luck!

It really isn't just about exercise. You need to be eating the right fat burning foods also. Go to http://www.Get-Flat-Abs.com to see a great program.

Variety of exercise is the key I have found. For example..an exercise called Mountain Climbers.

Mountain climbers are done by starting in a pushup position
and then shuffling your feet in and out so that your knees are
moving in under your chest and then back out to starting
position. It sort of resembles climbing a mountain but flat on
the floor. If you want an advanced version, you can also shuffle your hands 8-10 inches forward and backward in
addition to the leg movements. This really makes it a full
body exercise and MUCH more difficult than standard mountain climbers.

After finishing each exercise, rest about 30 seconds before
starting the next exercise. Rest about 1-2 minutes after
completing each "tri-set" before repeating.

This will give you one of the best ab workouts you've ever had
without even doing any direct ab exercises. You'll see what I
mean after you try it!

Once you get away from the myth that a 1000 crunches and 500 situps a day is all you need to do for great abs, then amazing results can be seen.

There is a completely free 65 page ebook about exercise, nutrition and abs and stomaches in particular at http://www.projext.co.uk that you can download (no catch!) and it is excellent.

It helped me greatly.

I would go with at least 4 days of ab exercises. I do abs everyday for warmup, before I start my weight training. They bounce back fast. Don't overdo it though, it depends on your limits and capabilities to heal after workouts.
