4-pac or 6-pac?
will many crunches or sit-ups a day do it?
please
Answer:
first off u need to run, to get rid of the extra fat (if any) in that area. then yes, crunches and sit ups should define ur abs
Besides doing abdominal exercises you will need to reduce your body fat percentages or no one can see the 6-pac. You need to do more than just crunches and sit ups since the abdominal muscles function in 3 different parts. So exercise the full range of motion and trim down.
if u really want absu could do crunches and sit ups until u feel a burnin slighly painful feelin in ur abs this means ur muscles ar regeneratin and would get bigger and harder durin the process also try push ups to get muscles on the arm and a strong chest.
Having well-defined abs is difficult to obtain. A large part of it, unfortunately, is genetics. Some people are just better suited to it, whether through a higher metabolism, storing fat in areas other than the belly, etc. I read once that in order to really see a six-pack, you need to have less than 1/8 inch of fat over the abdominal muscles, which for most people is below 12% body fat, usually more in the range of 8-10%.
Best method of obtaining this - a combination of watching your diet, doing cardio exercise regularly, and of course doing some exercises that work the abs such as crunches or sit-ups.
As for the 4 or 6 pack, that's entirely genetics. The lines that create the division in the abs are actually from connective tissue in the muscle. Some people have an 8 pack, others might only get 4 well-defined.
Diet is more important than the exercise for most guys, and I would say that 12% is still going to be too high for a lot of men to get a 6 pack since men have a propensity to have their fat accumulate in the stomach and waist first, and can be the last to go away too.
just do as many as you can don't over do it.
Also you probably have a layer of fat over your abs which will prevent them from showing. Eat right and run alot to get rid of it. look up other ab excercises also
Lay on your bed, lift your legs, straight without bending as high as you can. They will probably fall and bend as you workout, but that's okay. Cross your arms over your chest and start crunches or sit ups.
Don't do too many ay first. I usually do 10, 15, or 20 at a time.
I wait until the burn stops, maybe a couple of minutes, then do 10 crunches with my feet flat on the bed.
This has really helped me, I had a small round gut starting. After 3 times(days) doing between 60 and 80(about 4 sets) of those, I can see results. I usually do a set then wait a little bit and do another.
You could do a million crunches a day and not have a 6-pack, or rather you could have a 6-pack that neither you nor anyone else could see because it's under a layer of fat. You have to lose weight and get down to 10-13% body fat before you can see your ab muscles.
yes crunches is very good for ya. My weight teacher tought us to hold a dunbell (like 10 or 15 lbs) on our chest while doing them and it helps a lot.
you have to first get fit. then i do crunches with weights you decide the weight. every day will help you get it faster. if you are young though, you can not use weights.
