i would like to ask abt Abs.

My details below-
BMI: 21.9kg
Body fat: 17%
Lean body mass: 59kg

Im a slim type. I wan a six pack but i got tummy. I know that in order to see the abs i have to lose my fat first right? Since im a slim type, do i need to do cardio or just full body workout to lose the tummy? if i do cardio, i will look even slimmer right?

Another question is, abt the cardio...how long should i run? should i stop once reached the Target Heart Rate (THR) or continue to run and maintain the THR and stop until the the time that i set to stop?

If you're limited by the ROM on floor presses. stack old magazines in the shape of a bench, a voila. Same ROM as a benchpress.

nice one.

but, i made bench with chairs (the type without back). Three chairs in a row.

I agree with GameFr3ak ... it is much more effective.

ABS ... *sigh*, it's a tough one.

ok ... will try . 10s !!
sound uneasy. i used to run once per week for about 30 minutes. i guess it's not enough.

will try with skipping rope to see how.

chest training seems much easier than abs. after training 2 weeks, the chests already "expand"/  tongue.gif

you need to really burn off quite some calories every single day.
not js on a weekly basis.

go for a 30mins run daily + lower down your carbs intake, especially for dinner.
you will see result within 2months.

For ABS, I hope to have the muscular six packs, not the slimy type. Exercise too much will make muscle smaller.

Running daily is impossible for me due to work, maybe can try with once every two days.

I'd recommend to train abs the same way you train any other part of your body.

And your nutrition consumption if FAR more important than doing 2 hours of cardio everyday. In fact, you can get abs without doing cardio at all by just adjusting your nutrition (read: caloric) intake.
