   planks wallsites

   planks lay on the ground put your forearms on the ground and put your feet like your doing a push up. then lift your body up so its straight like a plank hold for 20 to 30 seconds until you get a stronger core and when your ready you should be able to go for 1 minute to a minute 30

   wall sites put you back against a wall feet about shoulders length apart slide your back down the wall until your legs are bent 90 degrees basicly like your sitting on a chair and hold you hands straight out or you can get a ball basket ball if you want a challenge but a vollyball or anything about the same size will work to and hold the ball straight out hold that for 30 secoonds to a minute and once you get a stronger core 1 minute to 1 minute 30.

   good luck

   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
