If you do the crunch reeeeeeally slowly you can work out every inch of your abdomen. don't forget to go slowly in the descent too.
yesyesbananahands
I'd rather drink beer.
beaubrent
Or you know, you could just eat sensibly.
blandstreetbloom
Fact 1: The rectus abdominis muscle is 1 long muscle. Fact 2: For that reason you can't train "Lower abs" without the rest constricting.
blandstreetbloom
So stop thinking you have to work different parts of the abs for max aesthetics. Do it for the variation.

imhungry4444
Remember, abs are built in the kitchen, and sculpted in the gym.
Natsumori
So what I get from this is if I throw a 20 minute flutter kick tantrum a day I'll have sexy abs?
BigBootyCoCo
Whenever I do a lot of these it hurts my lower back more than anything. Any advice guys? Am I doing it wrong or is it normal?
chut7
Exactly the same with me. I could do situps forever if it weren't for my back giving out after about 30 of them.
PurpleHydrangas
When I do crunches it feels like my ribs are rubbing together...how do I stop that?
blandstreetbloom
Try another exercise if you feel pain or discomfort, like leg lifts.

Those are super hard to get the form right on. I think everyone does them wrong :/

Can you link to a good guide?
retunedspider287
Go slow is the best advice I can give you. Honestly I don't do those because I just can't figure out the form so I can't help a lot :/
BlinkMild
i just do them wrong and do them for long periods of time. works either way.
srs00
Range of motion exercises are better to start with. Otherwise you risk back injury. Source: I'm a personal trainer and I teach a core class.
ReallyChadical
Links to some maybe? Or a recommendation of one of your preferred exercises?
srs00
twist and reach, side bends, toe reaches, side steps, lying side reaches, knee raises
srs00
Twist and reach, Side bends, knee raises, non-weighted deadlift. Basically take any full body movement and subtract major resistance.

I had a color blind buddy and when he would go to print documents for school, we would change the paper to a neon color. He didn't notice.

Start doing front levers. Dragonflies are too easy for anyone with 2+ years of training under their belt.

My arguement is kinda biased because I did sports so I already know most of them, but the image and name together explain most of these.

Oh yeah? Well how am I supposed to do this so called "sit up"?

I figured it was more of a reference chart than an instructional for novices, but I couldn't resist being snarky.

First few days it was tough to finish the set. Now I'm looking for more difficult motions. I can do the entire first image just fine.

YES! GO YOU!! I will be in some kind of shape this year, I've decided.

Step 1: Lose fat. Abs don't show up from doing hundreds of these different little exercises. They'll appear once body fat is around 6-10%
soadfan13
It was my understanding that muscle burns fat. So strengthening your core with exercises like this would make you lose belly fat faster.
clippersravensfan
Can these exercises help lose fat though?
BachelorGourmet
I work out to make myself feel warm and fuzzy inside, not for "showing of gains"
Focusi
Actually it can appear as high as 15% it's all about genetics and how well built they are. Personally I get mine at 13
IAlwaysDownvoteLindaDee
You're lucky! I'm at 11 right now from the winter and I'm slowly getting down to my goal of 9% for the summer
sadnessandcake
Doesn't have to be as low as 6%
IAlwaysDownvoteLindaDee
I know but that's the percentage of the unrealistic guys with bodies of greek gods. It's pretty unhealthy for the average guy
whyiseverythingupsidedown
Around those levels you're on a knife edge. The commitment required to stay healthy at such low levels is immense.
BillyHoWCR
When I was in high school I was measured at zero body fat. (yes zero) I was thin but was very defined and had huge calves. Now at age 50?ha
TheBurninator
I've been to 4% for a comp once. I wouldn't recommend anyone ever go under 7% under most circumstances.

Jesus that's low. If you did that natty, your physique would have been ruined no? Auschiwtz mode

Even if you are fat ,training abs can help you get a better posture, and put less stress on your back.

Sooo true! Pilates made my job as cocktail server so much easier.

Right on, I believe you. It just seems like overnight some info gets disseminated and people talk like they've know about it for years.

Not never. It takes time and dedication. Anyone can lose weight. It might be easier for some people but everyone can attain a set goal

That's definitely true. - and nothing's more rewarding than making progress toward that goal. My comment was simply in jest : )

looks solid... ive been trying some of those exercises lately.. defo leave ya sore
HereInDuckburg
absolutely. My first week was so rough but it's been so worth it
theringmasterrrr
yes. this.
Asherdash
But do they help to burn fat? My stomach is the toughest place to lose anything! Idk what to do. :(
JayeRod
youre probably doing it right.. you just have to be patient and consistent.
moinonplus
Not really, since you don't consume that many calories doing abs. You are better off with cardio and working big muscle groups, ie. thighs.
Raknorak
I was always told to burn fat first, get abs second. If you get abs with a lot of stomach fat it'll make you look bulgy
TheBurninator
No. Nutrition and sleep will. Cardio if you want to speed up the process.
thelonepig
I got in my very best shape, after 30, doing heavy lifting, very low cal, and little cardio. (For a work gig. http://imgur.com/ENnRale)
thelonepig
Knowing I had to wear that also lit a fire under my ass and I took diet pills, but yeah, focus on legs to lose belly fat.
IAlwaysDownvoteLindaDee
No. Eating right, doing cardio, and keeping your heart rate HIGH when working out will burn fat
Asherdash
Okay, that is what I've been doing (more of), just gotta watch I'm eating better! Thank you for responding
gayorstraightboobsaregreat
Can confirm watching my diet worked the best for me.
IAlwaysDownvoteLindaDee
You're welcome! Keep up the good work and you'll see progress that keeps you motivated!

Cardio. And a very strict diet.
Asherdash
Like how strict we talking?
thelonepig
Clean eating, my friend! "Clean eating IS ingredients, not HAS ingredients." Avoid carbs and processed foods!
wheredoesthetimego
Hella strict, indeed. An ouside mag online post says 1 to 2 lbs of body fat per week is a healthy rate of weight loss & recommend eating 1/2
wheredoesthetimego
500 fewer calories than spent per day. I'm too lazy to find the sauce, but Google "how to get a six pack ouside online" and it'll be there
Asherdash
Thank you, dude.
Aenian
They don't help burn fat other than the calories that you burn doing them. You can't target areas to lose fat.
Asherdash
Dang alright. Yea, I've been doing cardio and I lift weights. Just gotta watch what I'm eating better. Ty for responding!
kraeftig
Eat a lot of fish. Can get ~1g protein / 10cal, or close to, but only with fish. Can of tuna has as much protein as a shake but less cal.
kraeftig
Cardio is more effective at burning fat if done in a fasting state. E.g. when you wake up, BEFORE any breakfast. 2/2
kraeftig
High protein low calorie diet combined with hard weight lifting will build muscle and burn fat. Low being ~1600-2000 cal 1/2
kraeftig
The more muscle you have the less cardio you need to do to burn the same amount of fat in a day. To burn fat fast, push cardio hardio, but
kraeftig
Chicken is a close second if you get tired of fish, but fish will always have more protein per cal than chicken. Until you add shit ofc
