After that review I wrote on that Sit Up Bench, I have received a few email that said thank you for the review and a couple said that they were looking forward to working on their six pack.
However this is a common misconception about six packs.
Many people think that in order to get a six pack you need to do lots of sit ups and stomach crunching. Well even if you do all of that 24/7 you still will not get a chiselled six pack.
Doing these exercise will definitely increase your abdominal muscles but the thing is, these muscles are located underneath a layer of fat.
If you have some belly fat over these muscles, as the majority of people do, then this layer of fat will cover up your muscles.
So if you want a six pack, crunches and sit ups may help, but what will make the real difference is losing that layer of fat.
An all round fitness regime will help combined with a healthy diet. Especially sugary fatty rubbish should be avoided and be replaced with protein, fruit, veg, and you will see your stomach fat reduced and a nice six pack revealed.
Any comments on getting a six pack, leave them below…
Good point, I do a load of abs work but I’m not seeing the results. Does anyone know of any good fat burning products out there. I’ve only got about an inch or so of fat to loose but the bloody stuff won’t shift despite all the cardio I do.
BTW, I do eat too much sugary stuff.. but there ya go!

I dont know of any products that coud help you.
I would just try to cut out that suagry stuff and fatty foods in your diet. Also just try and burn off the fat by running or something else that burns off a lot of calories.

I`m trying out swimming and cycling,but running can increase onset of cartillage wear and arthiritis.

LIES!
Well, I am pretty scrawny already, so I don’t really need to lose that fat in the first place.

I don’t really have any fat on me and I do this type of crunch exercise where my back and butt is on my bed but I have my legs at a 90 degree angle off the bed. From this position I do crunches and I gotta tell you, it hurts like hell but I have got absolutely FAB results.

hiya i’m only 16 but i already am obsessed with getting the muscle . i used to do crunchs and cycling till i noticed that they didn’t effect me much BUT they did give my boday more of a lineout and nicer look . yet the feeling was still pathetic till i started doing 100 pushups daily ( 50-80 ) in a row.
the best method though and everyone should look it up as its been advised and that is the plank. do it for about 2-5 minutes per day and you will improve
I have a realy muscly body now .
aswell as this do as the guy said n eat proper stuff but make sure you eat as much as u burn off or you’l be burning off muscle instead of fat. your muscles will grow remember .

I always find when doing sit ups after a while my neck becomes very stiff and it feels like i am working my neck more than my stomache.
any ideas as to why/solutions? thanks
Comment by adam — February 6, 2008 @ 11:28 pm
Are you using your hands to support your neck?
If not, do.
If you are, then u might be putting to much pressure on your neck with your hands.

Guys….forget about doing constant sit ups. Forget about doing a million crunches. There is a countless amount of people who think a six pack can be revealed by just doing workouts that concentrate on the mid section. WRONG. There are two types of people who get six packs. Really skinny guys that do a million and crunches and sit ups, because their body fat percentage is low its not hard for them to reveal a six pack. However I call these six pack guy fake packs. Because they are not sexy looking. Think about it…we all know someone like this. Skinny guy that runs around a lot does crunches. boast that he has six packs but it almost doesn’t count because all he has is a few abdominal muscles showing.
And then there is the lean mean cut machine guy. The guy who always gets compliment from girls because of his body. The all around athletic guy, who plays a ton of sports in h.s or in college. The guy that every time you ask him how he got a six pack he always shrugs and says, ” I don’t know i just got them one day.” So why is it that he has a six pack out of thin air!? Well…think about this…. When you see his abs, and then look at his arms, what are they? Cut right? How about his chest? Carved in stone right? How about his back? Ripped isn’t it? You see where I’m getting here?
Skinny losers with fake packs that look stupid sporting around the only muscle on their body on their midsection don’t look lean. Ripped guy who has abs that are cut in stone looks like a stud.
So here my friends is the secret to getting lean ripped abs……Drum roll please…………………
Healthy Balanced Diet with no refined sugars or grains, or processed foods. And full body workouts. As a matter a fact you can six packs without doing a single crunch or sit ups. Sit ups and crunches are for guys who already have six packs to make them look cutter and bigger.
The abdominal muscles are located on the mid section of the body or the core. the core generally represents the over all fitness of your body. Because every lift you do, every pull, every push, every squat, utilizes the core muscles, and so in order to reveal those abs, you need to do full body workouts, with a fat burning routine. No pill or supplement in the world will get you abs. Simple as that. So do yourself a favor. Join a local gym, and a martial arts school. Go to the gym six times a week for lifting and strength workouts. Martial arts for intense cardio, and resistance workouts. With a good balanced diet of whole foods, in a few months you’ll be on your way to six packs. Countless crunches and sit ups will not get you abs. But hardcore workouts and diet will!

sorry about that I meant to say go to the gym three times a week, and then go to martial arts another three for a total of six days of working out. and then rest one day of the week. Happy Training.
