Roadwork and crunches, with and without weight are the most effective.

YOu wanna know what works.


Hard work.

Plain and simple and lots of cardio. Cardio is more important in getting great abs than actual ab excercises.

Why??

chances are you already have developed abs but they are hidden by a layer of fatty tissue etc. YOu would ahve to do 10x teh ammount of ab excercies to burn this off and it may still stay. Crunches with weights are good. There are many ab excercies but diferent ones work for different people. FOr example crunches didn't really work for me so i found som other excersies which did the trick. Be patient though. IT can take months for your abs to show. Just stay at it and think of the eventual rewards. ONe day you'll way up look in the mirror and realize all that work wasn't in vain. I would suggest doing ab excersises 3 tiems a week and cardio everyday if you can (even if it's only a jog or a quick bikeride.)

*Disclaimer*

I am not a medical profesional (at least not yet ;))

THerefore take my advice with a grain of salt and please please please consult your doctor before starting on any diet or excersise program. Also i cannot gurantee results as this method didn't really work for me but it does for 90% of the population and therefore is the best advice i can give.

Heh, thanks for the advice, but I was just watchin' the ABSlide infomercial and it seemed really hyped up. I was just wondering if anybody has had any first hand experience w/ it yet.

I agree about the abs under fat thing.

I have a bit (ok pretty good amount :p ) of fat on my stomach, but if I sorta suck it in a bit when I stand fully upright I can tell that I have killer abs under it. Right now I'm trying to find ways to get rid of this fat now, because I'm really sick of this fat on me :)

Same here, Piku. I had to gain a little weight to play football, and now I can't seem to get it off.. :(

I'm 17 and I started doing crunches with legs up in March and I did 100-200 a day all the way until now. 90% of the gains were in the first few months...and now, no matter how many crunches I do I can't get sore. They really don't seem to be benefitting me anymore

Haha funny how I just saw this post, 15mins after receiving my AbSlide! My sis ordered one for me and it came in today. I was a bit surprised but oh well. I do a minimum of 640 crunches a day (320 weighted, 320 reverse) and workout 6 days a week so I'll see how effective this sucker is after a couple weeks (I'll use it after my workouts, when I come home from the gym).

Infomercials are funny...

I would say a good majority of us (myself included) could benefit from a little exercise and healthy living. We are up till god knows when posting in the forums, eating and watching tv(late night TV=Infomercials). Staying up late and eating is very unhealthy. Then we see an infomercial and get all worked up in the head, plan a work out routine and order whatever fitness exercise equipment around. In the morning we are tired, a week later it comes and u have no clue why u got it. Then it sits in the corner. This is not true for everyone but as matmax said

<< it probably works great if you use it.... >>

Yep, I guess you guys are all right upon saying: &quot;It works great if you use it&quot; most of us have a hard time keeping our commitments up, but from what I hear (from those who have it) is that it works great. I guess I'll find out when my order comes in :)
