How can I get and without doing sit ups?

Im a girl and I realized I gained some weight over the summer. I'm 110 lb and 5'2. I have a flat stomach when I'm standing up but when I sit down my stomach looks so gross. I want to work on my stomach but I have no abdominial muscles to start with. Sit ups and crunches are really hard for me to do. I could only do 10 sit ups and 30 crunches and it hurts like crazy. What other excercises can I do to get abs?

Recommended Answer:

If it hurts when you do it, that means you are training your abs. No pain, no gain. Keep doing the crunches.

Other Answers:

• Well first you have to stop rushing yourself or starve. You could lose the baby fat before. But look on the internet there are many videos that might help you to have abs :)
• Everyone is born with abdominal muscles. Therefore, you already have abs. You're welcome.

Losing weight with a mixture of liquid and reduced calorie diet?

How does this sound for a diet. Drink as much as you want to - mostly reduced calorie beverages though some full calorie - and then eat a lot of fruits and vegetables with some whole grains, fats, and lean meats mixed in. You can go off the diet once a week and eat crap. Does this sound like you could sustain it for a long time and do you think you could lose weight on it?

It doesn't sound odd at all. Although you'd have better luck if you just drank water and ate whole grains, meats, and fruits and vegetables while being careful not to overdo it. That sounds like a fairly healthy and normal way to eat. Aspartame, preservatives; and the fact that low calorie is not no calorie. So you'd get less calories if you drank water over drinking a low calorie drink. "Dieting" doesn't have to be a revelation, you're not unlocking some secrets of the gods with a diet. You got things right, your diet is a good idea because you are smart and you figured it out. But you still have to come over the idea that a 'diet" is some complex plan and hard and fast, black and white rules and boundaries. Yes, you will lose weight if you eat some cherries vs a cherry flavored fruit pie. How many? IDK. That's between you and your body. Junk is not the status quo, leaving whole grains and fruits for some sort of freaks. Junk food is some sick marketing play on food. And if you don't want to play along with the marketing, that leaves you with... just food. Things that grow like fruits and grains and meats.

How to EASILY Lose Weight Fast

Recommended Answer:

You're probably doing many things wrong. However, from your post we can know that you're taking supplements and that's wrong. Stop all your supplements...shakes, creatine, whatever. All US federal health agencies warn against using supplements without the recommendation of a health care professional because supplements are not approved by the FDA, are virtually unregulated, do not have the protections afforded foods and drugs, are not recommended by the US National Institute of Health, do not require any testing, are often contaminated, may not even be what the label says, usually contain cheap ingredients, are often over priced scams, have been known to be dangerous, and can have numerous adverse or unwanted side effects.

If you're taking bodybuilding shakes, you are just loading your GI tract up with a bunch of crap (who knows what). Apparently you've been spending too much time reading stuff on the internet without realizing that almost all of the major bodybuilding websites are just out to scam you. Here's one example.Don't use bodybuilding.com. It's a scam-site for the purposes of selling supplements and is full of bad information. They recently paid a $7 million fine for selling illegal drugs. Check out this list of over 60 dangerous supplement products sold with bogus advertising claims which scam-site bodybuilding.com was forced to recall and take off the market here --> http://www.usrecallnews.com/2009/11/bodybuilding-com-supplements-recalled-may-contain-steroids.html and here --> http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/CriminalInvestigations/ucm305494.htm .

Their information is bad because they don't screen it so they have a ton of information to attract the suckers. Now, remember this. All you need to be all you can be is a good and proper diet of food and optimal training. So, now is the time for you to study.Your body has no choice but to follow your brain. So, you should feed your brain a steady diet of good information if you want to be all you can be. It's YOUR body and it has to last a lifetime so it's worth the investment. Don't ask questions of random strangers with no credibility in this or other online forums. Use high quality resources for information instead. The basic principles of health, fitness, and nutrition are not that difficult or hard to understand. Avoid the internet unless you're using trusted sites in dot gov or dot edu domains. The dot coms are usually driven by profit motive and you'll find bad information in most websties including WebMD, Livestrong, Bobybuilding.com, etc. and especially in this forum and others like it. And, avoid magazine and other cheap commercial informational products about fitness, glamour, muscle building, fashion and fads. Don't be part of the "herd" unless you want to look, feel, and perform like the "herd".Use books, especially late edition text books on subjects such as nutrition, anatomy, kinesiology, and physiology...especially exercise physiology. You can find excellent information resources at your local public or Uni library or for sale cheap online at Amazon.com and Ebay.com. Always follow the science. Use critical thinking. Be skeptical and do not believe anything without cross checking it with trusted sources. Grow your personal knowledge base and everything else will follow with relative ease. You have one body and it has to last a lifetime. It's worth the investment to learn how to care for it properly. Good luck and good health!!♠

How to Lose Weight Really Fast in 3 Easy Steps

Recommended Answer:
You are just looking at a painful and drawn out way to empty your entire digestive tract.
The lemon detox/master cleanse diet is a calorie deficit program.
You will lose weight on this diet whether you are attempting weight loss or just trying to "cleanse". The average adult has eight meals in their digestive system. Five more than they should. By going on a deficit diet like this you can lose up to 10 pounds just by not eating. But it is only the weight of the food in your digestive system. Plus the weight of the lost glycogen stores, excess sodium and associated water. This can add up to 15-20 lbs depending on your build. The signal these starvation diets send the body is that there is no more food available. The body immediately stores any fat it can and begins to convert muscle and even organ tissue first for fuel instead of the stored fat. Sadly metabolism actually drops. And all the weight is replaced when you start eating again.
There is no build up of bad plaque, toxins, or sludge in a normal, reasonably healthy system.
If this was the case we would have people dying left and right from malnutrition since their small intestines couldn''t absorb nutrients.
The majority of the water from food and what we drink is reabsorbed through the colon, if our colons were clogged we would all be walking around looking like sponges right?
Detoxing is ridding the system - liver, kidneys, and intestines of toxins both internal and environmental. Our liver and kidneys aren''t clogged with toxins. Otherwise we would be dead. The liver does in fact get layered with fat if we become overweight.
We "cleanse and detox" naturally 24 hours a day through respiration, sweat, liver, and kidneys.
We can help by eating a healthy diet with minimal added sugar and salt. Lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grain foods, beans, peas, and brown rice keep a system as healthy as it can be.
Minimal alcohol, caffeine, soda.
Read food labels. If you can''t pronounce it, don''t put it in your body.
A healthy high fiber diet works every time.
Increases the speed and efficiency of the digestive system and helps the body rid itself of both internal and environmental toxins.
Cleanses actually flush out the beneficial bacteria and enzymes in the digestive system.
Search "gut flora" to learn about the beneficial bacteria we need in our colon.
We have more beneficial bacteria in our digestive systems than all the cells in our bodies!
The digestive system is one of the largest contributors to our immune system.
They don''t tell you about the gas, cramping, and bloating you will experience when you start eating again and the body has to rebuild this bacteria population.
Spend your money in the produce department.
Good luck.

100 situps a day???????

Hi! I do 100 situps and 2.5km of running/walking a day. I started the sit ups 11 days ago but just started the running today. I''m going to do this until the 26th of February. Results? And don''t say "You gotta eat the right things" I''m only young so I''m trying my best.

BQ If I can''t get abs or anything with just that for around a month, how long then?

Three Reasons Why You Should Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
The results are that you will maybe sweat a little during the exercise depending on the temperature.



100 sit ups a day won''t get you anywhere until you actually learn to workout your abs at the right intensity so your abs gets the soreness a day or few days after. When you workout your muscle tissue gets torn apart from the stress that is added to the muscle, then they recover to adapt to the new stress added which makes the muscle bigger and stronger than before.

Cardiovascular exercise is not ideal for those wanting to lose weight. Though doing so much cardiovascular exercise will show effect, like those who are in a marathon, or loves to dance, etc. Most people whose mind set is to "lose weight by doing some cardio" won''t see much progress, because it can be one of the most time-consuming way to see progress, and the results can fade away quickly by just eating out of the strict diet for a day for some.

Most people who does everyday cardio are just losing water weight through sweat. Drink a sip of water and it''s like you did nothing. If you want to burn the fat, actual fat, you may need to concentrate on weight training. Build muscle, increase your metabolic rate. Increased metabolic rate means your body will be burning more calories, and this burns away the excess body fat.

If you''re a female and are worried about getting a body like a bodybuilder, don''t be. As long as you don''t eat like one and train as intense like one, you wouldn''t get bulky.

Unless you''re clearly overweight don''t quickly judge your progress by just looking at the scale. You could have gained a pound or two, but it''s possible that you could have actually lost few percent of body fat and just have extra weight added from muscle, waste, food in your body. If you''re still growing, you could have gained the weight through weight from organs, and growth in bones.

• You won''t get abs in a month, but you shouldn''t kill yourself trying either. Its a life time effort and you can''t expect over night things like this. People train for years to get rock hard abs. You not get it in a month
  
  Keep working at it and stay healthy and dnt be discouraged
  
  Cheers
• that sounds good enough. you should add some pushups too, maybe 50 at least.
• Abs r like any other muscle and u got to work hard and diet well and drink lots of water ! Train it just like ur biceps! But not the same excercises of course
• Incorporate cardio in your workouts to burn fat on top of your abs.
• Once you get abs, they won''t stay forever. You have to keep exercising right so that the abs will stay.
