Ok, only u guys wanna have great abs? I'd like to just have a flat stomach and just loose the baby fat. I'm trying 100 crunches, reverse crunches and some other stuff. I'm on my bike for about 30 mins. I exercise atleast 3 times a week for 1 hr. So is that good and am I gonna eventually have a flat tummy?

as long as you eating properly as well. small portions. lots of salad. lots of water. calaloo, bagie, ochroes are great. try not to have too many carbs. late at night if you hungry drink water or tea (with no sugar) instead.

[strombo23]

cardio is very very important. i wish i took it more seriously when i started weight training. i'd be ripped.

[sylvestter]

i missed two days at the gym this week from sheer exhaustion from work. such a lame excuse. need to go todaya nd do 2 hours!

[Aurea]

Thank u. I do eat well, not to much carbs and don't eat after six.

Aurea

[strombo23]

so, like when is alluh deadline? early Feburary? ah tink ah go join alluh :D . December ent lookin too promising for me.

Gosh that sounds really sexy for some reason.
I musbe lost an inch off meh belly. Doin dem blinking sit ups everyday though. Meh gym man say we'll go a lil more intense now that ah get over the baby stuff. lol

[sylvestter]

i swear that achieving muscle is that point - the fine line between pain and injury.

[strombo23]

how alluh six pack mission going? thanksgiving mash meh up. plenty good good food and family dat can cook. ah put on 5lbs :)

[sylvestter]

i on a serious cardio drive at the moment. apparently although i have a relatively ideal weight for my height, my body fat content is kinda high...

but it going well...

[serenity]

Visible 6 pack eh happenning anytime soon. I might be seeing back muscle before anything resembling an ab muscle makes an appearance. I feel great though.

[guardian39]

what "thing" looking flatter?

[guardian39]

Oh! u mean your stomach!

[serenity]

Ok, I have a question. We making headway with the warm, soft middle area, aka belly. But this is how its hardening> Obliques first. So the the sides are toned but as u move inwards to the bellybutton area it gets softer and pouffy. Uh...ah hope allyuh understand what ah mean. I was just wondering if allyuh chubbiness exhibiting the same type of behaviour.

[strombo23]

daiz d front waist area? yeah, dat normal. daiz why if yuh wanna see all dem abs...yuh body fat % needs to be in single digits. glad so see alluh two stickin to alluh programs. i threw off my back sunday :cry: so thats 4-5 days delay.

[sylvestter]

i skipped all week last week because my knee was hurting. but i still have my carnival deadline.

[serenity]

daiz why if yuh wanna see all dem abs...yuh body fat % needs to be in single digits..


WHAT??!!! :shock:
Oh geez, I think I need to extend meh deadline to next year Christmas...

[Aurea]

Ok been working on my abs for about a month, but how long does it take before u see any visible results?

Aurea

[strombo23]

depends on yuh current body fat level. what category yuh in? thin?medum?fat? if yuh have real dedication to diet and program...12 weeks is the minimum.

[Aurea]

Ok I have the dedication, seeing very lil results - but atleast I know it's working! I'm ... petite. I'm 5'2" 110lbs, which is my ideal weight but just want to loose d baby fat around d tummy.

Aurea

[neilrmp]

The only sixpack i have is in the refrigerator, sad to say.

[dancerboy]

Ah didn't go to the gym today. we had company last night, and i had a few drinks of grey goose and OJ. That's good once in a 'WILD' . DANCERBOY

[sylvestter]

i'm invoking a new commandment:

"thou shall not eat in january"

[serenity]

OK, so we back square one. The belly didnt suffer too much from the overindulgence. The butt however....

[strombo23]

nuttin wrong wit dat. it essential for Carnival :lol:

[sylvestter]

hahaha

strombo - so you chiseled now? i was bad with gym this month, but not unhappy with the general state of affairs.

[strombo23]

chiseled? nah boy. not yet. but 1 month left so we go see. :)

[strombo23]

[serenity]

Ah find as the deadline getting nearer we eh getting updates.
Whappen fellas?

[strombo23]

ah was just tinkin dat. how ALLUH results going :lol: . ALLUH should have a 5 and a half pack now.

[sylvestter]

i will let you know carnival monday....
shortpants and vest or shortpants alone - that's the question....

[serenity]

Strombo, why yuh dodging boy? :lol:
Ah know yuh well on yuh way so it eh have to reason to play shy now.

Syl, ah'll be looking out for u! :lol:

[bluenote492000]

My goal was to get a 27” waist by Carnival .I measured today and its 28”. Originally my waist was 37” (yeah big huh) so being anything less that 30” is great. My goal looks in sight now; I think I’ll make it. I’ve been doing my 100 sit-ups on my exercise ball. Since my surgery which left me with a scar on my lower abdomen like a C-section my lower abdomen looks weird at least to me. Any women here who had a C-section know any exercises to tone back the tummy? It’s taking me forever to get any kind of definition or anything in that area. My upper abs are starting to come in but what’s the thing with love handles? I’m doing the broomstick twist often my gym instructor has me doing 400 of those and it’s barely helping.

[strombo23]

from 37 to 28. thats great. i don't know for sure about the C section part, but i think leg raises will help tone back the lower abdominal muscles. and getting rid of those love handles...means getting rid of somemore body fat- meaning more cardio and reduced carb diet. spot reduction dosen't work.

[strombo23]

carnival here and i ent seing no pics? dem in d pictures section or?

serenity? sly? :lol:

[serenity]

I'm off the programme Strombo. I on the lose the butt programme. Those pics will be posted once the desired results are in. :lol:

[strombo23]

[sylvestter]

[serenity]

Six habits for a six pack. from mensfitness.com

http://health.msn.com/fitness/abs/artic ... 206&page=1 (http://health.msn.com/fitness/abs/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100204206&page=1)

1. Wake up to water
2. Eat breakfast every day
3. As you eat, review your goals...
4. ...and then pack your lunch
— An apple (to eat as a morning snack)
— Two slices of cheese (to eat with the apple)
— A 500- to 600-calorie portion of leftovers (for your lunch)
— A premixed protein shake or a pint of milk (for your afternoon snack)
5. Exercise the right way
Everyone has abs, even if people can't always see them because they're hidden under a layer of flab. That means you don't need to do endless crunches to carve out a six-pack. Instead, you should spend most of your gym time burning off blubber.

The most effective strategy is a one-two approach of weight-lifting and high-intensity interval training. According to a recent University of Southern Maine study, half an hour of pumping iron burns as many calories as running at a 6-minute-per-mile pace for the same duration. (And it has the added benefit of helping you build muscle.) What's more, unlike aerobic exercise, lifting has been shown to boost metabolism for as long as 39 hours after the last repetition. Similar findings have been noted for intervals, which are short, all-out sprints interspersed with periods of rest.

For the best results, do a total-body weight-training workout 3 days a week, resting at least a day between sessions. Then do an interval-training session on the days in between. To make it easy on you, I've created the ultimate fat-burning plan, which appears on this month's workout poster.

6. Skip the late shows. (Sleep is important)

[sapodila]

3 more days to June 1st ! :lol: :D

[strombo23]

oh crap. June? i thought it was July.

[sapodila]

[kebs]

It is hard as hell for a woman to develop a six pack, right now i'm working on meh 2 pack we, lol, seriously woman are the hardest to lose weight in certain areas, unless you do like an hr a day on the thread mill, no cardio, no aerobics, no pilates... then when you lose weight, and have a whole bunch of saggy skin you'll be all mad...lol dey doh tell yuh dat in those commercials by the way... the way to go is to get a personal trainer, or see a doctor before you lose any weight, (by the way cardio, aerobics, and pilates is really good for you, i LOVE me some PILATES!! Men try it, it works!!) or attempt hint hint try to kill yourself to get those 6pac abs!!... Fellas know what i'm talking bout, you know you got a kag but you want wash board abs..LOL!!


Oh this is the lazy me, i doh want to read what i just wrote, so if i made any mistakes uhmm doh blame me nah, i doh care, that pilates got me drained lol :P

[strombo23]

wha! all you hadda do is pack on muscle horse. 3 sets with weights you can do only 4 reps with. and yuh fix.

[sylvestter]

wha! all you hadda do is pack on muscle horse. 3 sets with weights you can do only 4 reps with. and yuh fix.dat hard! i doh need to lose any fat. i just need to build muscle, but i can't seem to do it...

[strombo23]

you might need to use weights in the form of a medicine ball (5,8,15lbs) when doing your crunches, leg raises, twists etc. tension is good too eg. cable machines, and to an extent- elastic bands. But continiously increasing muscle overload safely will force your muscles to hypertroph as long as you eating enough protein.
for d rest of yuh body, try the 6 clean (no cheating) reps using max weight for 3 sets and see how ur body responds to it. when you can do 4 clean reps for 3 sets, increase the weight each time.

[strombo23]

EEK! 7 weeks left.

[sapodila]

Sylvestter, wat about yuh diet man?! You need some boost or some protein shakes. You need to build and fast too. Sorry bro.......dat pic looking too dam anorexic fuh me oui! :o

[strombo23]

About 5 weeks left. Been consistant with my cardio for the past 3 weeks. Clothes are getting baggy (good sign) but not seeing those abs yet. I know they're there.

Sly, you might wanna cut down on your cardio if you're doing weights but not putting on muscle or weight.

[robsurrey]

When yur stomach used to be fat you cannot expect to have perfect abs right away!! There is gonna be some flab and loose skin where the paunch used to be!! To get there and stay there reqiires a long term commitment! I have been workin hard on my abs for 2yrs and I believe this is just the begining!! I would consider advanced to be when someone can take a sledge hammer and break bricks on yur stomach or other feats of equivalent difficulty!! Too much processed foods and sweets is the main obstacle one encounters in ab sculpting. One has to continually scrutinize one's eating habits!! It has to be like a work in progress that is continually evolving!!

wuh! great job maribunta. yuh right about the sweets obstacle. When ever there is chocolate in the house, I just can't seem help myself. So I avoid going into the pantry- period. To exist is to be percieved. It really takes allot of discipline (and cardio). Every thing you consume must be a conscious effort towards achieving your goals.

riteeee
so how it going?

[strombo23]

It going good. But d closer it comming to Dec 2nd I ent think I go make it for picture time.

8 crix whole grain
a thin 1/4" slice of cheddar cheese
1 bottle water

4x a day between breakfast and dinner really cuttin meh calories without feeling hungry. Crunch helps the psychological, and fat slows digestion and lengthens "fullness" feeling. Iz ah 36 waist now.
