Answer 1

So right now you are at a healthy weight, but you have some wiggle room to loose weight and now be considered underweight, your BMI is 20.5. So I'm guessing maybe if you lost 7 lbs. of fat you could get a six pack, but remember muscle weighs more than fat. I would recommend eating lots of veggies because they help people who want to get to their ideal weight lose or gain weight depending on which way they need to go. As for exercises you could do, planks and crunches are good. I don't know of any machines you could use but I know pilates and ballet (I know you're a guy but still) really work your core. Hope I gave you some suggestions. Good luck. :)

If you want to lose weight, the key is to burn more calories than you take in. to do that, exercise and a healthy diet are the things you need to do. For a healthy diet, you should be eating 6 small meals a day. A breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, and a dessert. When you have 6 meals a day it keeps your metabolism up and is actually healthier to eat more. But, the meals should be mostly healthy, but for dessert give yourself a nice treat every once in a while. For exercise, you need to make sure you don’t overdue it. A good exercise I enjoy doing is Pilates for weight lose. You can buy that DVD at target. It works great. Also, you can run, power walk, do crunches, sit-ups, a sport, swim, an exercise ball and just having your heart pumping and making u sweat is when u no the workout is working. You can even walk to get your mail at your mailbox, climb stairs, and even walk from room to room and it is a workout.  Keep doing this and you will see results. Also, if you want to build muscle lift weights. But just remember that muscle weighs more than bone so if u get rid of fat and end up getting muscle, you will gain more but still look good! Hope I helped!!! Thx! (:
