Working aerobically on your abdominal muscles for over 7 minutes stimulates the capillaries in this area. These in turn increase the blood flow. A greater blood flow means a greater flow of oxygen – and fat only burns in the presence of oxygen. Toned muscles need more calories (kcal) to stay active. Our organism tends to release these calories from the area nearest the muscle, in this case the waist area.

a subscription to mens fitness is 1/2 the price… but is that b/c it sucks?
I prefer men’s health because it’s a little more well rounded than Men’s Fitness. Has alot of diet and other information that is missing in Men’s Fitness, but they are both good.
You can read more about them and compare prices at Subscription.com.

I am working on getting a six pack. I have been doing 200 situps consistently every day. anything else i should do? any food i should eat or lay off?
Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu’s even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck 
Basicly I’m looking for ideas to get flat abs , sexy legs & arms by the summer , any tips ? I’m not overfat , but I do have some fat over those trouble areas . I would love something that’s easy to stick to & will give me good lasting results before summer , so I can look great in a bikini .
well, the good thing about those areas is that target excercices (meaning the ones you see in all those articles) arent going to do THAT much. What will make a significant difference in those areas, excpecially because you are saying you are not overweight, but are carrying some weight in these specific areas is this: cardio. If you have access to a gym, try the different cardio machines, most people find the eliptical much easier then a treadmill (yet just as effective). They usually have classes, which, while indimidating at first, can be very un if you take it all with a grain of salt. If you DONT have access or cant get access to a gym, then running is your best option. Its free.
A gym is a good place for weight machines for arms and legs (I find free weights intimidating myself) you will NOT get bulky, but you will not see much results untill you lose some overlying fat from the cardio results. Same with cruntches. Do as many as you want. Thats fabulous, but you arent going to see results untill you burn away the fat.
Has anyone read the e book The Truth About Six Pack Abs? Does it really work or is it just another scam? If you have read it what were your results? Should I buy it or will it just be a waste of money? When will i start losing weight?
I have found some very valuable information on this site. You can easily check it out for yourself.
I’m a skinny kid. I’m in shape and i swim 2 hours and 15 min on an advanced swim team 4 times a week. This summer im life guarding and would like to have a six pack or at least a more well toned body. What exercises should i be doing. I’m 15 years old 6 foot 3 and weigh 150 pounds. I’m planning on lifting weights this summer but in till then what should i be doing to get a six pack; or more in toned abs?
A "quick" way to get abs is in the combination of diet and exercises.
It depends on body fat with males it starts showing under 10%.
These exercises much more effective then push ups or sit ups:
Ball Crunch
Lie with the ball resting under the mid/lower back and place hands behind the head or across the chest. Contract your abs to lift your the torso off the ball, pulling the bottom of your ribcage down toward your hips. As you curl up, keep the ball stable.
Crunch & Reach
Begin with body straight over the ball, light weight extended behind you (not shown). Contract the abs to lift and bring the weight over the head, crunching up and twisting to the right, contracting the right side of waist. Repeat for all reps and then switch sides.
Modified Plank
Begin by placing elbows on the floor and resting body on the knees. Pull the abs tight to hold your body in a straight line from head to knees without sagging in the middle, eyes looking naturally forward. Hold this position for as long as you can, relax and repeat 3 or more times.
Knee Tucks
Start in plank position on the ball, with the ball under the shins/ankles. Roll the ball towards you with your feet, tightening the abs into a crunch.
Woodchops
Attach one end of a resistance band to something sturdy and wrap the band around your hand a few times for the right tension. Grasp the band in both hands and begin in a lunge position, reaching down with the arms Keeping the arms straight the entire time, rotate and lift the body towards the other side while sweeping the arms on a diagonal. Return to start and repeat before moving onto the other side.
Hip Extension on the Ball
Lie on the floor with feet heels propped on ball. Keeping abs tight, slowly lift your hips off the floor (squeezing the buttocks) until body is in a straight line. Hold for a few seconds and lower
Ball Taps
Sit on the ball with strong abs and straight spine, hands behind the head. Contract your abs and lift the right foot, tapping it on a medicine ball in front of you. Lower and repeat with the other foot, alternating sides. Use your abs to keep your balance.
How to Work Your Abs
* You can effectively work your abs with 3 non-consecutive workouts a week
* Do 1-3 sets of 12-16 reps of each exercise. If that’s too easy, make sure you’re doing each exercise correctly and using perfect form. You can add a dumbbell or plate to crunches to add difficulty.
Hope it helps!
I’m 14 and I know I’m heavy, so I do six pack abs workout, but can I ask that how many times I need to do a day and how long the six pack abs complete (sorry if my English cause you any trouble)
couple hours a day
I have a pretty strong core, like i od my sets of crunches with 40kg/45kg resistance on the machine, i have relatively low body fat and a flat stomach, as in not pot/beer bellied and im a fairly skinny yet toned individual (5,10 11 stone).
heres the question, what can i do to "bring out" my abs and have the six pack area visable?
thanks for any answers in advance regards nick
You need to hve a very low body fat to see your abs. BUT, ive come across a very cool ab exercise. Take 2 pretty heavy dumbbells and lie down flat, legs flat on the ground. Hold the dumbells up above you – arms straight above you as if you’re going to start dumbell flies and keep them there and then do leg raises while your arms are like that. The dumbells keep your back pressed into the floor, totally supported and your lower abs won’t know what hit them, its an awesome exercise. Do 4 sets of 10-15 to start and build up.
i just started trying to get a six pack and i was wandering if anybody had any good suggestions for my diet cause i heard that’s a BIG part of it.
To get a 6 pack you need to get your body fat percentage down to around 8%. High protein diets are good because while you are reducing the number of calories you take in, your body won’t compromise its muscle mass. Think of food you already associate with as being healthy. Foods like chicken breast, protein shakes, fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc. It will take a lot of self-discipline not to order that pizza or pig out on potato chips and beer, but if you really want a 6 pack, the quickest way of doing so is eating as healthy as you can and exercising.
