im skinny but still have that stupid belly fat! i was thinking of starting the gym but will it make a difference,
Want to get fitter
or is there anything i can do at home to work out and try to get abs?

i love threads like this

start with cardio,, i.e working your heart and getting you fit. you could try running, cycling, swimming. swimming is also great because it will tone your abs.

then you could try lifting weights. start off gradually if you dont usually work out. along with this try some good old fashioned exercises,, e.g. push ups, crunches

this ^ along with a good diet and lots of hard work might get you on the right track...

good luck hun

I don't wanna be namelous,

I wanna be famous.

The exercise ball crunch is very effective in my opinion - you will need a exercise ball.
Vertical leg crunch is also effective you just need to know the position
a long arm crunch is also effective as it's streches your abs.
and the reserve crunch
full vertical crunch
The plank and elbows is also effective
(Check internet images for the positions)


or buy a a ab roller there only like £10 i think :/

yh exercise ball and planks kick ass ... or kick abs i should say

It's good that you can laugh at yourself spencer

Thanks for the advice, I'm gonnah start gym soon

in only 4 months i gained almsot 18lbs and look at the dif

im gunna see if i can find a before ab pic :p

What stuff did u do at gym? Like what did u use

phase one: make a plan, dont expect to do a couple curls, a set of squats,a dn a mabye some bench to get big

id do full body to start you off.

Heres a decent workout which works full body

pushup, blurpie, chinups (youtube them) best thing since sliced bread
clean and press (dumbells of barbell works)
bent over rows/seated rows (cable)
incline press (dumbells or barbell)
Squats or lunges (dumbell are best)
then do planks

do 3 sets of 8-10 reps at a comfortable weight and once you get used to it do 4 sets of 4-6 reps at heavey weights, for planks just do it as long as you can for 3 sets

in 6 weeks of doing this mondays, wensdays, and fridays, inbox me and ill give you something a lil more complicated, and muscle specific

i also recommend a decent whey protein powder, dont go soy protein unless your lactose intolerant, dont sue creatine, of L-glutamine yet.... you will in time :p
