i do crunches and sit-ups.... i get tired from it though, and my neck starts to hurt.. i was wondering if there was anything easier to do to help my stomach stay flat (because i have a really flat stomach and i want it to stay that way) considering the fact i am thin and stuff... :?
-
don't eat
and
don't have kids
that's my advice
-
lmfao
If I work out, I will get so skinny, you will be able to see through me, literally!!
:D
*never eats, and never has kids
(good advice, lol)

I just do sit-ups mostly and I heard that if you want to keep your stomach flat or whaever your supposed to push yourself...As in, not to your limit, but increase your excercise. Do 30 sit-ups one day and the next day do 35 for example...
-
You should do cycle pumps. They're like sit ups but you take the opposite elbow to your knee each time for about 25 times, gradually you get faster and faster.
Believe me, i used to be a ballerina and me and my whole class did this kinda experiment to see what worked best- sit ups failed miserably. lol

FYI... doing crunches doesn't actually make your stomach any flatter than doing pushups or jumping jacks. What makes you stomach FLAT is burning calories and there is no such thing as "targeted weight loss". You just burn calories and your body decides based on genetics which calories get burned first. So doing crunches wont neccesarily burn fat around your belly.
Doing crunches WILL make your abs bigger which can make you look FATTER if you don't do fat and colorie burning activities as well.

Interesting Andrew!

I don't do sit-ups, crunches or moves like that. They bore me before I start to sweat. As you also don't seem to like them I'd advice to do something you actually enjoy..., running is great to keep your stomach flat. I cycle 200 to 900 km each week..., works well too.
Oh and stay away from beer!
-
I run 10 feet and then pass out...........I just need a couch with wheels, that'd be fun

Now that would be nice!

I use to do sit ups while watching t.v so I wouldn't get bored. I don't anymore.
I did go walking around downtown today. We ran a little but it is so hot.
And now I am waiting for a friend to come over so we can all sit around and DRINK BEER! ;) Hopefully it evens out!

I use the "AB SLIDE". Works very well. Yup uh huh. The next day you feel it in your stomach. I think thats good!

Well yeah, that is true but you defintely can make your stomacn look flatter and tighter doing cycle pumps- because i witnessed it myself! I really don't believe that girls can get fatter stomach from it (unless you're a body builder!) but i do get your point because it happens with men- all you end up with is a cool stomach you can punch but it doesn't hurt! hee hee

I got one of them.. after six years of hundreds of situps every week.. works eventually lol =)
Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but if you want to tone your muscles, then do lots of small reps, with rests in between, and make them hard (by doing crunches for example). So instead of doing two sets of fifteen, do three sets of ten. To build up stamina you have less rests and just keep going. So you'd do one set of thirty. This is why body builders lift huge weights a few times or maybe even once and then have a rest and then do it again, whilst stamina training is more constant with less stress on the muscles.
Hope some of that made sense. It's all stuff I learnt doing karate and going to the gym.
Andrew speaks the truth. If you want to lose weight off your stomach, then toning the muscles won't do anything. The muscles will be toned but you won't be able to see them! The trick is to burn off calories and get the body to burn off that fat. It's mainly down to finding a good healthy balanced diet that suits your body. Whatever you do, don't go on the crappy crash diets, because as soon as you go back to normal eating you'll just put the weight back on again. It's all about finding a healthy eating lifestyle that suits you that you stick to.
Or you could be one of the lucky ones like me and you can eat whatever you want =P
*evil cackle*
Anyway.. I'm out before my monitor dies again lol
