I really like your website and the cool descriptions of different Ab routines. I have done P90X twice and lost 23 pounds and Ab Ripper X has a few moves that you explain on your site. They are a killer! You will never get any sort of Abs unless you watch what you eat. Stay away from the carbs or these exercises will not do you any good.

Thankyou for this site. I have been looking for something to strengthen my stomach muscles. Will see if it works.

Hi Millie,

I prefer to just hold one dumbbell. I do 12 on one side, lowering that dumbbell as low as I can then rising up to a normal stance, then I swap the dumbbells over to the other side. I repeat the 3 sets on each side without stopping.
Hope that clarifies things,
Amelia

With the standing side raises-is it holding a 5kg dumbell on each hand?

Good point muscle building. You only grow when you are resting.

In order to grow, muscles must fully recover from their last workout, every workout. If you are over-training and work the muscles before they have fully recovered, you will break down the muscle tissue before it has rebuilt-making it impossible to build muscle

Hi Amanda,
I would suggest ramping up the cardio a bit. Why don’t you try some short jogging spurts throughout your walk. Pick some landmarks (streets, trees, letterboxes) and do around 5 x 1-2minute jogs. The fastest way to lose the belly flab is through cardio not fitball work.
Yes I think that 2 abs sessions per week is great and definitely continue those, but increasing your cardio intensity will make a huge difference. Remember not every day has to be a hard day, you might pick every second day as your “hard” session, and stick to walking on the other days.
If you exercise in a gym, join in some cardio boxing classes or hire a trainer to give you a boxing/cardio session. That way you work your abs AND burn fat all at the same time!
Keep it up, your tummy will get flatter, the last 5% makes the biggest difference!

Hi there

I’ve lost 12 kilos over the last few months, only because of a recent health scare. I’m actually at the weight that I should be but can’t seem to get rid of my flabby stomach. Since managing my illness (Hyperthyroidsm) with medication, I’ve changed to a healthier food plan and have walked a lot more than before. I’ve kept the weight off. If I continue to walk for 30-40 mins a day and just work my abs 2 days a week (I have a fit ball), will that help me lose some fat around the middle? and if so, how many reps do I follow? my stomach is my only problem at the moment. I’m looking forward to using my fitball.

thanks
