If your body fat percentage isn't somewhere around 11-12 this is a bit irrelevant

Planks?

I have an idea...11 minute abs
Thisismy1stposteveriswear
Well, why not just do 10 minute abs? (please dont murder me and stuff me in your sleeping bag)
speakonlytruths
Do these workout posts always make it to FP because we all favorite them and forget? Haha

You want rock hard abs in 12 minutes? Swallow a bag of cement. Otherwise, fuck off and learn some discipline.
TheMerryScandinavian
I'm fairly certain the 12 minutes part refers to how long this exercise takes each day.
FeelTheMightyCrotch
Well i have diferent ways to get hard

You can't spot reduce... eat less get abs. Stop posting this crap!
AriBerri55
Read this as "eat less abs"
therarestofpepes
Please don't eat my abs either!

But there's nothing wrong with wanting a stronger core!

Absolutely not. But misleading posts help no one.

As someone who's biggest drive to improve comes from smash bros, my go to excercise is planking while playing 3DS. For glory timer's great.
electrovir
I used to do pull-up during loading screens in games. Ever since I've switched to PC gaming though... the loading screens are gone :D... :(
dracomageat
Alternative then. Find your limit, push yourself as far as you can, then divide by five. Watch an entire anime series doing that between eps
dracomageat
Doing push ups like that every day through summer a few years back, I dropped a Tshirt size.
IFoldlyGo
Shut down your computer each day, then exercise during Windows boot screens. ;) Unless you use SD cards for your OS :(

I've got a SSD :/
ufosundercover
But can this work for a man who is pudgy?
nikseen
they'll be rock hard, yes but actually seeing them is another subject.
onemanagainstheodds
..sort of. You'll strengthen the muscles below, but if you have a layer of fat, it'll be hard to see the results. Higher cardio.. (1/2)
onemanagainstheodds
Down excess body fat.
onemanagainstheodds
Regimens to raise your heart rate will burn body fat, like running, swimming, or low resistance hi-repetition strength training to trim
spicefreak
Does chilli eating count?
onemanagainstheodds
Gotta eat to recover. part protein. lots of carbs to restore energy. and 10 parts delicious

I was never good at yoga and i found a bunch of instruction videos. kept going at my own pace and now im able to do the moves correctly.
mrsbraundor
Everyone has abs. Just have to lose enough flab to see them.
Xeynid
If you work to get big abs but don't eat really well, you'll just end up skinny-fat. Don't be like me.
dracomageat
Yep, you get what's basically a beer belly but going in at the sides, showing exactly where your abs would be.

Step one: quit drinking
ThaFoeHammer
Bruh. Just do 3 sets of 30 sit ups, and 3 sets of 30 leg lifts. 4 days a week. If you diet and work out normally, you don't need more 1/2
ThaFoeHammer
2/2 doing a shitload of ab workouts does nothing if you have a lot of fat on top of them... You just get strong and that you can't see.
SeanTheAlex
Instructions unclear. Cat is on fire.

Abs are made in the kitchen
ImgurPlz
They aren't to lose weight. They're to develop core strength. To lose weight you need to clean up the diet (for life) and lift heavy things.
Awiks
Anyone else heard the term abs are made in the kitchen? Cause its all about diet....everyone has abs its just hidden under a layer of fat
Cerapocalypse
In 12 minutes? Who knew it was so easy? Stupid fucking post, fuck you OP and fuck whoever made this.
Thirstraffe
Train to get rock hard abs, proper nutrition to actually see them.
Wibblywobblytime
Yeah training them hard will get you abs maybe 3% body fat higher. Which is still 20% lower than the ppl who do this are at.
MrDevilsAdvocate
That's why all I care about is having big enough biceps and chest, that way people know you workout without having to see your abs
meeksmcgee
Amen. I'll take proper nutrition as the top priority, too. It just feels better long-term
MoonBaseClavius
Yes! Spot-reducing is bullshit. And you won't see your abs until you're way low on body fat, no matter how hard you work them.
ThaFoeHammer
Thank you! Glad other people actually know this.

kevinallover
I'm a 105+ weightlifter. My abs are as big as your biceps, but look like a beer gut.
BananaSquid
"Abs are made in the kitchen" as the saying goes
SpaghyetiWagon
Honestly, nutrition is about 90-95%+ of your physique. I spend about 2-3 hours exercising a week if that. But if my diet fails I do.
Thirstraffe
Exactly
TheSauceGuy
I eat junk food and play video games all day, and my abs are visible as fuck, something tells me I dont deserve this blessing
6313326
Nah, just enjoy your youth (even if it's just relative youth at this point).
TheSauceGuy
I am :)
mrdead089
Isnt part of it having a low enough body fat percentage
BlueStringsAttached
Yes. Fat mainly stores in front of your abs. Burn it to actually see them. Train to give them more definition, but some might not want that
Thirstraffe
That's why I included "proper nutrition"
Corrections101
Yep, your abs are made in the kitchen, and defined in the gym.

Camoomoo
Any tips on what to eat and what not to??
bingotown
Eat fewer calories than you burn. Beyond that, just make sure it's a colorful variety of stuff with decent vitamins and minerals.
ohlongdongjohnson
Got u fam. No carbs (rice,bread,grains), plenty of fats (meat,avocado,oils) with a moderate amount of protein. No sugars also yo
Camoomoo
Yea! I seem to be getting the message of no carbs and sugars... cheers!! I appreciate it :)
Thirstraffe
I could give you exact pointers if you told me about your daily nutrition..pm me if you like
Camoomoo
ahh thank you, I will take you up on that!!
AFuckingBazooka
Can I bug you too? I am SO bad at eating, I eat TV dinners on almost a daily basis for my work lunch...
Thirstraffe
Of course! Feel free to PM me
CopperWench
Running will do more to show them than crunches will do to build them. Reeeeally wish I could run.
SpaghyetiWagon
Most runners have higher body fat to muscle mass ratio than lifters, sprinters etc. Generally you need to be fit to run, not the other way
IThinkIMightBeABadPerson
I know your pain. I have to bike and its just not the same.
pobody
Try cycling. I lost more weight riding my road bike than I ever did running. Like 30lb in two months and it stayed off.
mondayaddams
That didn't work for me, I did a workout program and ate better. 20kg off.
HopelessHatter
How about swimming? Would that work?
CopperWench
Nope. Triggers brain issues and lands me in the ER. Not sure if it's related to the water treatment or muscle use. Joys of disability.
CopperWench
And the boobs are still an issue. Bikini tops my size are about $200 each. There's plus-size stuff here, but not for reg size ribs.
AnHonestlyPleasantTurtle
30 pounds in two months? Holy shit snacks! How often did you ride and how long?
BagpipesRule
Someone answer this Turtle's comment! I must know!
thetrainfiasco
On top of that a few pushups and crunches in the mornings and evenings, but that's more to tone up than anything. Cycling is beast though
thetrainfiasco
Admittedly, with that, I cut out snacking, count calories (2000/day) and stopped drinking fizzy drinks completely. And drank green tea a lot
pobody
One other possibly important detail, I was doing all my rides on PowerCranks to build running muscles while on the bike.
pobody
They are a training tool that separates the right and left leg, forces you to lift your legs on the backside of the pedal stroke.
thetrainfiasco
Well I cycle about 10k to work each day, and from about February to April this year I dropped from 97kg to 81kg.
pobody
I was riding 3 times a week, tues thurs after work for ~1 hour around town. Sunday rides were 2-4 hours to the boonies and back.
pobody
Was also aqua jogging Saturday mornings for 1-2 hours and doing core work classes on Monday & Wednesday.
CopperWench
Cycling is also difficult for me. The position is no good because even with a compression bra my breasts are too heavy and damage my neck.
OmgOptimized
Maybe you could try talking to a bike fitter about the position. Not sure what can be done in your case, but I assume generally a more 1/2
OmgOptimized
upright position would be better. Different frames are made for different positions, but even then there are adjustment possibilities. 2/2
zeshoopuf
How about swimming? It's great cardio, very easy on your joints and good especially if you have neck and back pain. Gym works, too.
TheDuke0fHazzard
What about power walking? Go on a treadmill on a high incline and walk at a moderate speed. I do about 3.5mph. Helped to lose 40 pounds.
CopperWench
I walk a lot. That's why I'm not overweight. I'm not looking to lose weight. I'm just sick and wish I could do things when well enough
CopperWench
I can ride horses because the posture has to be soooooo perfect. But until I can get covered for a massive reduction I'm stuck.
politelyinsulting
That sucks! I have a friend whose insurance wouldn't cover until she lost weight. She did, they still declined. It was mostly in the tits!
pobody
How about a recumbent bike? Way nicer ergonomics!
iBoughtThisUsernameOnEbay
this is not true.
forevercatsrainbowsandsunshine
I don't do cardio I just lift faster. :) seriously though unless you really love doing cardio weightlifting is better or even hiit.
gripARN
It all comes down to eating below your maintance. You could eat only burger king and go down, wouldnt be healthy, but would still work.
Guges
Use a elliptical trainer/machine...will give you the benefits of running without the pounding/damage to your knees/hips & joints.
GreatTeacherMichael
I use a heart rate monitor. I run, eventually I get a warning that too high but keep running for 60 seconds. Then rest a bit and repeat.+1
GreatTeacherMichael
I started only able to do 60-90s. now I'm up to about 10-15min b4 resting. Total workout ~40-60 minutes. Used to hate running, love it now
gripARN
When you say running, do you mean jogging or actual sprinting? Or a bit faster than jogging? :P
GreatTeacherMichael
Usually I jog in one direction for about 5 km and then loop back for 2 km. Remaining 3km are the best HiiT I can with my remaining energy.
espressoandpostrock
Running is garbage cardio. HIIT and circuits are way more effective.

Sprinters lift weights.
TheLurkIsReal
Any cardio is good cardio for non athletes.
kraeftig
try focusing on muscle building i also lost 30lbs in two months and did less than 3hrs cardio total per week cause im lazy. It's still gone.
ThaFoeHammer
Same here
CopperWench
I'm working within the limits of a neuro disorder and large breasts. Personally I don't care about the weight, I just wish I could run.
IFoldlyGo
I tried to google a "cast iron bra" for you, but only found regular bras and cast iron brackets. Sorry.
gripARN
Cardio is nothing compared to actually eating below maintance. Which I assume you did since you lost weight.
kraeftig
Actually I increased the amount of food I ate by about triple believe it or not...
ThaFoeHammer
Honestly if you do high rep sets of weightlifting with very little rest, you'll burn a lot of calories. I did this because I hate running.
coobi
Why with very little rest? The afterburner effect is what makes you burn calories, so the more you tear the muscle = more calories
ThaFoeHammer
The afterburn effect works best with minimal rest. Ex: 10 reps incline db bench, 10 reps flat db bench, 10 reps decline db bench, THEN rest.
coobi
yeah but with very little rest you cant put in your maximum effort, so there is less tearing on the muscle
TheMumbler
Same here, newbies google stronglifts 5x5.
ThaFoeHammer
5x5 is for advanced lifters who can use proper form with super heavy weight. Beginners need way more volume to prevent injury.
forevercatsrainbowsandsunshine
Bonus to lifting is that muscle you just built helps you burn more fat all the time. Also stronglifts 5x5 is the best
ThaFoeHammer
5x5 is better for advanced lifters. Super heavy weight and low rep ranges. Beginners need way more volume.
forevercatsrainbowsandsunshine
I started at body weight on squats (couldnt do 3 sets) and 20lb bar on everything else. Hit 100lbs on Sq last week
forevercatsrainbowsandsunshine
Where do you figure beginners need more volume? SL5X5 is a great beginners program. I've been on it for 4 months now. 1/?
MyFaceEyesAreBrownToo
Yeah but what happens when someone makes 10 minute abs?
MrSwivelz
Then your abs will look 2 minutes better than theirs
Corrections101
And here i am doing an hour of high intensity lifting designed by a doctor for an hour! What a waste of my time.
Snurple
No! No, no, not 10! Nobody's comin' up with 10. Who works out in 10 minutes? You won't even get your heart goin, not even a mouse!
SuperDuperSkateTeam
You can definitely work up a very good sweat in 10min.

In the early nineties there was a series called 8 minute ______. It started out as 8 minutes abs, but then expanded to butt and thighs.
