Answer 1

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, 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.

Answer 2

10 situps

10 V-ups (Touch your hands to your toes, but crunch your body so that they meet midway in the air)

10 lemon squeezers (Position yourself sitting up, put hands at side, and move your torso back into a laying position while extending your legs straight ahead. Now just row your legs to a bend while crunching toward them w/ your torso, then go back to laying position. repeat process)

10 back hypers (lay on stomach, basically a reverse cruncher)

10 Leg lifts (Lay on back, lift straight legs to 45 degree angle, then bring back to ground)

30 seconds of bicycles (Lay on ground, and mimick a bicycle pedal motion w/ your legs)

10 side crunchers each side

10 regular crunchers

30 seconds of flutter kicks (Lay on back, keep both legs straight. Lift them up bairly, now alternate between raising each leg a little bit and brining it back down. This one is tought at first, but after a week it will be easy. Try to think of being a swimmer while doing this one)

10 kick ups (Lay down, bring knees up toward chest, then kick legs upward to become straight in the air.)

10 side double leg lifts (Hard to explain, basically lay on side, and lift both legs simultaneously as high as you can. Will feel weird at first)

10 Forward Rows (Way too hard to explain, google it)

10 Russian Twists (Google it)

10 Scissor Kicks (Lay on back, spread leags apart in air, bring them back to center with one leg above the other, then alternate to mimick a scissor kicking action)

Finish with a bridge for however long you think you can do it.

Once this routine becomes easy, don't up the reps, just do the whole routine twice. (Left a few out for explanation's sake)

Then also do your run at night. Cut excessive fat out of your diet, but you can have a little still.

Do it and you will have some abs.
