Females; what is your story on how you got abs?
what was your body like and how did you feel, your age. & then how you got those abs you have now! i want to have abs by the time my next school year starts up, and some motivational stories would help, and tips, pointers, and exercises!
thanks!
Getting a nice set of abs is such a misunderstood process. It’s actually a lot easier than most people think which is why most people are in a never ending quest to get that perfect six pack - it’s because they’re doing all the wrong things.
When you eat more calories than you burn, your body takes those extra calories and stores them as fat somewhere on your body. For some people, the #1 fat storage area is around the thighs and for others it might be around the stomach - it differs from person to person. Sometimes the fat is perfectly distributed around the body so it’s not as big of a concern.
If an excessive amount of fat is stored around your stomach, the reason that you’re not seeing your abs is because your body fat percentage is too high. What you need to do is create a calorie deficit (take in less calories than you burn) so that your body is forced to use its fat stores for energy. After a few weeks of doing this, you’ll notice that your abs will start to show.
You first step is to figure out how many calories you burn each day. Use this calculator http://calorieneedscalculator.com for an estimate. Now you need to increase the amount of calories you burn by exercising more and decreasing the amount of calories you eat. Cut out junk food such as fast food, candy and sugar. Eat foods that are high in fiber: bread and pasta made from 100% whole wheat, brown rice, oats, fruits and vegetables.
You shouldn’t ignore targeting your abs with sit ups, leg raises and twists but doing hundreds of sit ups won’t do anything about the layer of fat that is covering them. Cardio and calorie restriction should be your main focus. If you need more details on getting a six pack, visit The Straight Health Forums - http://forums.straighthealth.com

i am not female but i have abs, i use the AbSlide, which i bought from an infomercial. i didnt think it would work, seriously tho, after 2 days i noticed results, and have been using it for about 2 years now and have awesome abs. dont do situps or crunches, most people do that, but it will kill your back and you will have nice abs but a hunched over back when you are 30

I don’t have abs, but I have an outline. xD
I’m 13, and I do 150 crunches per day.

Cardio and fat burning exercises, a low fat diet as well this will remove excess fat. Exercise must be consistent and as much as you can manage.
