You can get ripped abs real quick. Pablo has abs, even if he can’t afford the bowflex.

Use an exercise ball and do crunches, or look up how to do bicycle crunches. The captain’s chair is another effective way, all three of those exercises are really useful in working the abs. If you have a flat stomach, you will be able to see them in no time. Losing all the fat from the stomach is actually half the battle in getting visible abs.

If you’re going to do strength training, you NEED to pair that with cardio to even become ripped. It’s a must, actually. or else you’ll just have muscles swimming under flab. So you’re doing the right thing. Give your muscles a rest from lifting for 24-48 hours, but the cardio can be continuous. Good luck!

i was told abs can be worked every day because the blood supply was very good for abs. i would work legs one day, and upper body on alternate days.

What kind of workouts could give me the abs I want so badly
Im walking/jogging 4-5miles a day, doing 100 situps a day and I know it doesnt help alot but also 100pushups a day, If I tighten my stomach when I do the pushups I can feel it working.

Could what Im doing get me the abs I want or should I do more of sittups? If not what else can I do?
I want to have ripped abs not just alittle show, Ive been working hard for weeks to lose the the fat covering my body and Im finally to the point where I can start to work my abs and get what Ive been working for.

Im a 17 year old male so from what Ive heard at my age it is not as hard to get abs at this age as it will be when Im older

Sounds like you’re already addressing the body fat issue, so you need to just put in more work on your abs. 100 situps a day are good, but also add in planks (also called elbows and toes). Try and work your way up to 2 minutes at a time holding in plank position. These tighten the transverse abdominals, which pull in the lower abs and highlight the rectus muscles above them.

Another killer ab exercise is “knees to elbows.” This is where you hang from a pull-up bar (or doorway, etc.) and basically just raise your knees (bent) and touch your elbows. Do 30 of those 2-3x a week.

For best results should I continue this every day, or like every other day?

Any other tips to getting a decently-ripped tone would be appreciated.

[Fyi i'm 5'8'' and only wiegh about 125 pounds, so no fat needed to lose and I already have some abs kind of peaking through. I feel I have a good bodytype for this.]
Oh and this isnt the only exercise im going to do, this is just my scheduel plan, I may mix it up on days such as lift some weights, wear out the punching bag, etc.

I just want input on this plan as far as fastest/best results
*Well when I mentioned adding additional mix-it-up exercises i wasn’t talking on an extreme level, was moreso just a littlebit here and there, and i would realize pushing myself to the limit would require some recovery time, but speaking in terms of just the pushups/crunches im wondering if rest-days are necessary.

*Thanks for the dumbbell tip, and yeah ill up the reps as I get stronger.

It’s really impossible to give you any advice if you don’t tell us the whole plan or what other exercises you are doing. If you were only doing push-ups and crunches, you could do them pretty much every day with no problem – we did this in Basic Training, and lots of people got great results.

However, once you start adding other exercises, especially with weights (as opposed to weigh-bearing exercises), then you really need to give your muscles a day or two to rest between each workout, depending on the amount lifted and the intensity.

To get ripped, you have to lift heavy with low reps (just doing lots of reps with low weight isn’t going to get you anywhere – I see women make this mistake all the time with their 3-pound dumbells – really, what’s the point?). Lifting heavy means at least one to two days between workouts on any particular muscle group, as well as low cardio. You might want to check out Muscle and Fitness magazine. I like their plans a lot and use them even more than the Women’s Oxygen fitness mag (also produced by Robert Kennedy).

In order to get a “decently-ripped tone,” you are going to have to do more than just “mix it up a little here and there.” At 5′ 8″ you could easily add 20-30 pounds of muscle, although 10 pounds would probably be a great goal for you. Hey, you asked for advice.

Cardio, Cardio, Cardio. Most people have abs, but they’re hidden under a layer of fat. Exercising your abs will not make them visible.
