What is the best all around Ab exercise?

Question by Michael K: What is the best all around Ab exercise?
First let me say I’m not some big headed 8th grader who wants to do this for 20 minutes expecting a washboard stomach to show off to the ladies. I am a Senior in high school and have been working out for 4 years and know that for muscle to be cut and easily noticed takes months upon months of intense workouts for that.

Now with that known, what is the best workout for abs. The whole thing, upper, lower, obliques, everything.

I also have access to a gym so I can use a lot of equipment there, but I don’t want to buy a special thing that can only be used for abs and I have to order off TV.

It would be helpful if you had either a
- Picture of how to do the exercise
- A video showing how to do it
- The name of the exercise so I can look it up online how to do it
- Or a very descriptive “How to” on the exercise

Thank you very much in advance

Ever heard of a sit-up? Your body type plays a lot into it. I competitively weight lift and even after I took a year off, my 8-pack can still hold coins. Some guys who lift and weigh just as much as I do can’t get good stomach definition. Look at Cain Velasquez (UFC Fighter). That dude rocked Brock Lesnar while looking like someone’s chubby uncle.

Achieving Six Pack,reducing body fat %, sculpting arms?

I am a 16 year old male, 6 feet tall, 200 pounds, 14% body fat, I play linebacker on my football team and am in great shape, I can run a 40 in about 4.8 secs, which is fine for me, but my main concern is how to lose about 3% of body fat-I have a pretty balanced diet and work out every day-I know that in order to achieve a six pack, a person has to have around 10-11% or under body fat- I have strong abdominal muscles and can feel them, but i want to get that extra tone so the muscles look defined-basically the “cut” or “washboard abs”-any tips or workouts would be appreciated

my other question is how to make my arms,(biceps, triceps, and forearms) look more defined, when i flex you can clearly see the muscle and definition, but I’m trying to achieve the “cut” look-any help would be great

Will I lose weight relatively fast this way?

I’m 16, 5’1″, and around 116lbs. I’m not fat, I just want to slim down alot. Like, the Victoria’s secret models are my ideal weight. I know, this may not be realistic. I’ll NEVER look as good as them and that’s fine, it’s just some inspiration. I want to be able to see my abs without the layer of fat on top. For instance, now I can kinda see the line of my abs, but I know they’d look better without the fat there. And my inner thighs still kinda rub together. I also have kinda big boobs for my size so I’m pretty sure they contribute alot to my weight (I’m almost a c-cup).

So, this is my plan. I’ve started track (I’m a sprinter), but I broke my foot a couple months ago and I’m still recovering. I’m not quite sprinting 100% yet, so I have to go slower than normal during my workouts. We have a track workout like 3 days a week and lift 3 days a week. On lifting days I’m planning on going home and doing some kinda 20 min workout on the treadmill (if my shins hold up alright, I get shin splints every year), which will burn hopefully 100+ calories. On my off days, I might do 30 mins of jogging or some kinda workout on the treadmill, plus an ab workout, and butt and thigh workouts. I also ride horses 3 days a week on the days I don’t have track. I usually ride 1-5 ponies each of those days about 20-30 mins for each pony. I’m riding at least one of them without stirrups just to build up my inner thigh muscle, so that should give me a pretty good workout. I’m still pretty out of shape from not working out with my broken foot.

For food, I’m going to try to eat 5 times a day and like an amount of food the size that would fit in your cupped hands. Example:
6amBreakfast:
Cup of coffee w/2 tbsp of milk, 1 tsp sugar
Orange and banana
9ishSnack:
granola bar (90cal Special K bar)
11:30ishLunch:
100cal light yogurt (yoplai)
Luna Bar
or
egg and cheese salad with ranch dressing
Snack:
granola bar probably
Dinner:
whatever Mom makes

I hate being hungry during the day so that’s why I want to keep my meals small, but eat when I get hungry (ever few hours). Back when I weighed 110lbs, I ate like half a breakfast cookie for breakfast and hot cocoa, nothing for lunch usually, and then I’d go home and just pig out. I know that was super unhealthy so I wanna do it right this time, but get back down to that weight. I’ve been trying to eat like a healthy normal person and I do during the day. It’s just when I come home, I can’t stop thinking about food. For instance, today I had a small dinner, then had like 1/4 a bag of chocolate chips… now I feel guilty!

My goal is to be slimmer by the first week of January. I know I should probably be eating more for every meal, but I think that if I eat often I’ll be fine with how much I’m planning on eating. I’m trying to cut back on bread, cheese, milk, and sweets. Should I not have ranch with my salad? Will I lose weight like this? Can you give me more ideas for healthy snacks that I can bring to school?

Thanks to anyone who is taking time to read and reply. I really appreciate it

Critique my workout, recommend me what to work more on, on my body. (pictures included) (goals added)?

I’m 15 years old. 5’3” and 110 pounds. I currently work out every other day. Here is my workout in order of what i do. I drink a protein shake after each workout. I usually take 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete the workout. I’ve been doing this workout for about 3 months now. I’ve added weights to bells and made my workout harder when it gets too easy. This is currently what I’m at. Feel free to critique my workout and recommend me what to work on.

My Goals: I’m currently bulking up and have been doing so for about 3 months. I’m going to cut sometime before the school ends so I look good for summer. I want to have a 6 pack – 8 pack by summer’s start. A good “sex line” showing. And good looking arm and legs muscles (nice size and defined.)

Here is my workout
legs….
- lunges where i jump up each time i switch legs. set of 40/30/30/20
- Calf raises while holding 30 pounds in each hand. sets of 40/30/30/20
stomach….
- medicine ball workout where i sit on the floor at 45 degree angle with legs bent and feet flat on floor. i hold 10 pounds and move to the right and left slowly 10 times then fast 40. i do this 3 times. (going to the left one time and right one time is two times.) (short breaks between each set)
- the bicycle crunch ab workout. same as above. 10 times slow 40 times fast. x3. (short breaks)
- crunch workout where i do a crunch and raise my legs high in the air at the same time. I do it 15 times, short break, then 10 more times. (sorta like v sit ups but a little easier)
- Oblique workout where i lie on the floor on my side. Legs stacked and fore arm down for balance. i put pressure on my obliques. 1 min 20 seconds, break, 1 min, break, 1 min. i do it for each side.
arms…
- Bicep Curls of 30 pounds. 8 on my right arm. then 8 on left arm. 8 on right. 8 on left. 6 on right. 6 on left. I do them right next to each other but i only use one bell at a time.
- Deltoid raises where i lift 30 pounds above my head while standing up. Exactly as i do the bicep.
- Tricep raises except these are two handed unlike my other arm workouts. This is 40 pounds and i do sets of 8, 8, and 6. I hold the bell two handed behind my head, and lower as low as possible and raise as high as possible.
After workout excersises…. I do these after im done with all the rest for some reason
- 20 lunges hopping up and switching off
- 20 calf raises with 30 pounds in each hand.
- v situps… i do 15, short break, then 10
- pulls ups. i do 3 – 5

Would i build more muscle if i did this set workout or just worked out every other day (pics provided)?

I’m 15 years old. 5’3” and 110 pounds. I currently work out every other day. My old workout is on the very bottom. I drink a protein shake after each workout. I usually take 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete the old workout. I’ve been doing this workout for about 3 months now. I’ve added weights to bells and made my workout harder when it gets too easy. I want to switch up my routine now though. Also either way i workout, it will be a home work out. I have a bench i can set up if i want, but im kinda lazy. I also have a pull up bar that allows me to do all kinds of ups. Please check my old workout before recommending exercises because i want it to basically be completely different.

I have a question about muscle, ab muscle and being toned, like the rest of america?

But Im on my way home, and Im trying to fit workouts when I can before I get stuck in a place without a gym.
Something I normally don’t do, is and Ab exercise everytime, like P90x one day, just random the next, and a mixed version of P90x today. I know they are suppose to rest, but I just want to make sure I keep them tight, tomorrow I might not be able to, and then 3-5 days with out working them….
Am I safe to work them one more day or did I already mess them up?

I was also wondering about, fat cutting pills, at the store here, there is, Stacker 3, Hydroxy, “ripped”<—I think, redline, N.O2 or something, ah I can’t remember them now, but are any of those safe and effective?
