What is the quickest way to get abs?

[Gosselinfan]

I was wondering since I just joined the gym, I was just wondering what is the fastest way to get abs, which machines should I use to get the abs? How many times a week and for how long?

Don't worry so much about your abs. Especially as a beginner you want to train your whole body because it helps prevent injury latet on and allows you to safely and properly perform the more intermediate to advanced workouts later on which will get you to your appearance goals. Muscle imbalances are a very very bad thing.

well you already have abs, it's usually just covered by a layer of fat, making them less visible.

what you need to do is lower your body fat % and perform some abs/core workouts that will give them tone and definition

[Gosselinfan]

what machines should I use to help with that

[BertMacklinFBI]

in my opinion, less machines, more working with your own body.

crunches, bicycles, planks, side planks, and full sit ups.

the most important thing to focus on when performing these workouts is proper technique, a lot of people tend to use momentum to cheat 40% of their workout by throwing their hands and head forward while doing crunches or full sit ups, it's not good because your abs are not getting a full workout and benefiting 100%. slow and controlled movements are key.

Beginners should be doing full body workouts anyway and not focusing on individual body parts.

Crunches will build your abs. There's usually quite a few machines that do the abs.

HOWEVER!

You can have the most awesome abs ever and nobody will be able to see them if your body fat percentage is too high.

So you can't just go to the gym and abs abs abs, you should be building everything else too.

[Gosselinfan]

yeah but are there any machines at the gym that can help with that

[meatballs21]

Yes, I said there were. My gym have about four different machines that focus on the abs.

Like with most things, we should look to the 90's for the answer!

just dont get skinny to have them...

in my opinion, its better to be a little meaty and have lots of muscle.

if you want lots of muscle and abs, you're treading on a line with small margin for failure. can go up more or down more than 300 calories a day

Eat a lot of fruits and veggies, high fiber, eat about 60% of your weight in protein grams, and eat some healthy fat. Use free weights, calisthenics, and cardio of your choice. Use compound exercises. You'll get abs in time

[Gosselinfan]

how many days a week should I go to the gym and how long

[goretcki]

3 days for total body strength, 3 days for cardio. You can either combine strength and cardio days, do them separately at the gym, or do cardio at home

Buy a abs costume.
