hey syd G, i love ur journal nice nice.. yoga nice ma... join yoga dun compare with others.. or else u will hurt urself, dats da 1st thing u must remember in mind. i think ur yoga lvl quite high d, sounds so difficult.

btw, wanna ask bout 6packs
1) if i do ab crunches everyday, in 5 months time will i able to get 6 packs? coz i really got tummy
2) will ab crunches reduce da size of lower abs? donno where i heard from, ab crunches will cause lower abs larger.

i dont think u'll get 6 pack by doing crunches alone...maybe flatter tummy...

Thanks thanks

Yah I actually like doing weird asanas, its just that today was only my 2nd Yoga class so am a beginner, u see - but I could do a lot of asanas that involves the spine / back. I can even do these with no problem at all->



Sangkut at leg poses only - cant do any of these yet *except for child pose lah* -

Answers :

1) Depends on the intensity of ur crunches. Yes you will get 6 packs but will they be seen or not? There are 2 factors involved - muscles n fat. By doing crunches ur only shaping ur muscles but if there's a layer of fat on top, you'll look more pot-bellied
So do both - crunches n cardio. There's no way for you to reduce ur abs fat by just doing crunches (spot reduction aint possible) so get that body moving n get ur heart rate up .

2) yup, larger. muscle wise. back to basics, burn all the fat AND pump the muscles.


The almost pinkish thingy are ur muscles, if u make them bigger without reducing both intra-abdominal (visceral) n subcutaneous fat of course ur lower abs will be bigger

can. 200 sit ups everyday. slipt it up to 70 70 70 or how ever u like. everyday for six months. u'll get your abs.

but if u lift weights and do weighted crunches u'll get in 4 months ++

lol..sorry dint c ur siggy...haha

Hehe look @ siggy lor. I didnt lose that much of kgs but I can wear most of my old clothes !

Im updating it daily cause its easier to print out and show to PT. Besides that, am debunking myth that girls need to starve themselves in order to look good.

Not wanting to bump the other topic so I'll respond to ur "big improvement" comment here :

I think I look even better now
