I want to know how to get a good looking body with nice chest, shoulders, and abs, but not get buffed up or get biceps, etc?

if you lift small weights but alot you will get toned up and cut if you do to many pushups your chest will pump up so dont do pushups just sit ups and lift small weights that will get your body cut and toned

In march I’m going swiming, so I have to get toned, I do have some ab muscles right now but I want really toned abs… What should I eat, what exercises and for how long (Less then ten minutes a day)

Same for legs.

Eat less fat
Do cardiovascular exercises jumping, jogging, running, cycling.
Avoid doing to much abdominals crunches.

I’ve had a this girl as one of my friends for about 4-5 years now. We’re pretty tight, hang out quite a bit. The way in which we hang out is kind of as if we’ve been dating for 5 years, although we really aren’t really dating (she’s just flirty, and we usually hang out just the two of us when we’re together).

The problem is i’m really looking for a bit more from her. She’s very attractive, and i’ve liked her on and off for the entirety of our friendship. She’s knows that i have liked her at points, and probably knows i do now. She really only liked me in a more than friends way at the beginning of our friendship. I’m looking for a relationship or anything (we’re both going to college in the fall (at different schools).

She seems to hook-up with lots of guys (just kiss), and i often hear about it, the problem is i want to be the story. I think of myself as pretty good looking (although she’s very good looking). She’s pretty flirty with me (as she is with lots of ppl however), but i just don’t know how to get her to feel the same way. Should i play hard to get, that seems to work sometimes, just any ideas would be great. Thanks

P.S.
I have seen her look at my abs and stuff at times when i come out of the pool and stuff, but she usually avoids eye contact when we’re in proximity to each other.

I have never seen a friend turn into a girlfriend, NEVER. I’ve heard of it happening, but it only works when you leave for a long period of time and come back a new man. (New attitude, car, home, career). My advice is to use this friend to help you meet new women, you don’t come off as creepy to other girls if you hit on them and she’s with you! (You to your friend that is a girl: Wow, she’s really hot don’t you think? Friend that is girl: Yeah, she is! Hey, what’s your name?) Remember, girls love other hot girls!

today i did some crunches, about 300-400 with my arms behind my head and legs straight in the air, then some to the side and things like that. will this help, and how long would it take till i c results? i really want my abs to show, and wanna no what i could do to make that happen

Crunches definitely work. If you do this many crunches continuously for about 4 weeks you will start to see results.

Ok I’m 17, 5ft7 and I weigh 145 pounds *unfortunatly it’s all fat weight so I look like I weigh around 180*. I watch my calorie intake everyday and have been drinking only water. Iv gone from 185-145 pounds this year just from watching what I eat but did no exersize so I have strech marks and I still look pretty large. If I do 150 crunches and about 100 situps and 50 pushups a day how long will it take to actually show improvement?

about 3 weeks

i want to get abs and muscles fast..

If you don’t have any fat to work off first, the best way to get muscles fast is called Drop Sets.

Start off with you weights heavy do about 6 to 10 reps lower wight, do 6 to 10 reps, lower weight again do 6 to 10 reps with very little rest time in the middle.
Warning, if you are not already in pretty good physical shape this can cause a lot of strain to your muscles.

I go to the gym often it used to be every day and i have only 2 routines

1st day Back-biceps-shoulders and abs
2nd day Pecs-Triceps-abs and running

Are these good workout sessions? i do it with alot of weight but on some days i am just too tired am i doing way too much? should i give one day of rest between each workout session? Will more rest give me better results?

Each day do 1 pushing bodypart with 1 pulling so as not to prefatigue the 2nd bodypart and not get full benfits from your work out. Try Chest & Back and Bi’s & Tri’s. This is a time tested proven way to do it. I do it this way. You can place your weaker boypart 1st too. What about legs?? Never skip right out on legs! That is 1/2 of your body. What about Forearms & Traps? Each bodypart should get equal consideration. Never do tri’s with Chest or Back & Biceps. That is very self defeating and your progress will be much slower.

Do it right the 1st time and get much quicler results. Running/Cardio should be done at least 5 x per week, same as abs.

P.s
How to burn fat around my hips ( if necessary)

Hour glass figure? wouldnt you mean more pear shaped where your slim up top but wide at the bottom part?

Its genetics most guys get an apple shaped look where they hold most of the weight around their gut and girls get it around their hips but sometimes theres people like you that completely trash that rule.

You could still be holding on to some baby fat so just simply hold out the girly look you have atm might disapear.

How to burn fat around hips… same as burning fat any where else, simply eat less theres no exercise that will do that for you.

Im a girl. I have a LITTLE tummy flab. If I do crunches/sit ups (or what good exercises are good for stomach?) an hour each day, how long will it take to flatten tummy and maybe even get a lil abbbss?
haha i’m thirteen (:

A few weeks to a few months, depending on how much fat is covering your abs and how hard you work. Just don’t over work it by exercising too much/too often…once a day sounds a bit much, try Monday/Wednesday/Friday, or Tues/Thurs/Sat, for example. Never work out your muscles if they’re still sore from the last time you worked them; they need time to heal (which also means growing). You will actually make faster progress if you let the rest all the way, then if you rush it all the time and keep them damaged.

And drink water before and after you work out. Eat afterward, too–I know it seems like eating is the wrong idea if you’re trying to LOSE weight, but if you don’t eat and drink enough, you’ll just lose body water instead of fat. You’ll lose muscle too, because your body will try to adjust itself so that it doesn’t have as much muscle mass to keep up after.

So, a good idea is to try crunches like every other day, at least 8 crunches (depending on how much you can do, you can slowly work up to 50, for example–SLOWLY AND GRADUALLY >:|, over several weeks). Do groups of 8 or whatever for about 15 to 30 minutes. For example: 8, break for a few minutes, 8, break, 8, break. Water. Eat a good (HEALTHY) meal within a few hours.

You can also try "pyramids": 8, 9, 10, 9, 8. Or 8, 8, 10, 10, 12, 12, 10, 10, 8, 8. Whatever works. If anything is hurting you, stop doing it and change what you’re doing–you don’t want to have early arthritis or a badly torn muscle.

Oh, BY THE WAY: Since you’re a girl, it’s natural that you have some fat (a little more than boys). I don’t know how old you are, for all I know you could be 5 or 25, but it depends on your age–if you’re around hitting puberty (9 - 14 or so) then know that you’ll probably end up losing some fat areas naturally pretty soon, since your body will be reshaping itself. If you’re not a teen yet then it’s really not a good idea to work out too hard. Remember to #1, eat healthy. It is more important and more effective than working out.
