Getting good abs?

[Drewboy]

I'm about 5 foot 3 and 85 pounds and i really want abs. i hate my body and want to be fit so maybe people will like me :/ good tips? right now i do about 300 sit ups everyday, 2 8 minute abs workouts, and try 2 go on a run everyday. help please!

that seems like a lot. skinny people have so little body fat that their abs are already defined. and with all the things that youre doing you seem like you should have extremely good abs..just keeping working, theyll come with time my friend!

You're doing good! Remember, it's also what's inside that counts :bigsmile:

Also, I wouldn't recommend strictly training your abs. You'll look weird with a ripped body and lanky arms and legs.

When I started working out i was 5'8 and 115 pounds. I was really skinny with abs. Trust me, Go to the gym. Eat right put on a bit of size then get a six pack. You don't have to become huge just put on a few pounds of muscle and you'll look amazing man! (no homo).

Ever heard this quote? - "Abs are made in the kitchen". To a certain extent its true, If you're just eating loads of crap and not getting proper nutrition your abs will suck. Because it's just fat over your abs. If you lose the fat then your abs will pop. But don't make the same mistake my friend made. He done loads of exercises then went on a "Diet" when he was 5'10 125 pounds, It done him no good. you don't want to lose weight when you're that skinny.

If you're a decent size then do some sit ups, bottom ups, crunches, Hanging Leg raises and Gorilla chins. And stay away from crappy foods.

Hope this helped. If you need anything else just PM me bro :)

Kid.

1. Eat, eat, eat, eat
2. Eat, eat
3. Continue to do 1 and 2 until you are a good weight of at least 110. 85lbs is way too low to worry about muscle (of all things.)

but my stomach is still like not flat :/

You really do need to put on some weight people tell me I'm super skinny and I'm in the 128-135 lbs. range so listen to the guy who posted just above you and gain weight first before you try to gain muscle

How old are you? In puberty yet? You should definitely work on gaining muscle through out your body

Also volume doesnt train visually appealing muscles. Intensity does. Situps arent a very intense abs excercise you should look for different excercises to try.

[HahaWaitWhat]

Since you are very skinny, definition shouldn't be much of a problem. From what I've heard from a few of my friends, gaining muscle itself will be a struggle.

You need energy and calories to burn off to turn into muscle mate, if you eat a little bit more than you usually do and still maintain all this fitness you're doing you should get bigger (in terms of muscle, not fat) and should get pretty good abs. If you go the gym, you could see if they have an Ab Cruncher machine, they're pretty good

good job

[The Fitness Guy]

That's a pretty good workout. Just make sure your eating healthy foods to it's good to say that you wanna work hard just like I did and still do :D

doing 300 situps a day is going to build up you ab muscles, but not lose the fat ontop. It's going to make you more fit, but you have to do cardio exercises and not just focus on your stomach. Running is good and will help. But overall you will probably have abs in no time.

Drew are you really obsessed about how your body looks - ur not wearing a shirt in ur pic.
:eek:

He is right about abs-only training. my suggjestion is krav maga. it will enhance all of your muscles, but does usually do extra for you abs
