For you male and female runners?

I have been trying to run everyday for the past while because I want my abs to show more I guess :) anyway right this second I weigh 127.5, I'm 5'8, and like a 9 or 10 percent bmi. A couple weeks ago I started running 3.2 miles, here are my times,

Thursday, 5/17/12- 3.2mi. 130.5Ib, in 30.7 minutes.

Friday, 5/18/12- 3.2mi, 129.0Ib, 29.9 minutes.

Monday, 5/21/12- 3.2mi, 131.5Ib, 28.12 min.

Tuesday, 5/22/12- 3.2mi, 129.5Ib, 28.48 min.

Tuesday, 5/30/12- 3.2mi. 127.5, 29.9 min.

How long do you think I will have to continue this before I have an amazingly defined 6 pack? Also I run this constantly and don't stop. Thanks for the help :) Oh and no treadmill.

Hey Your problem is not excess of fat. You have a 9 or 10 percent bmi.

Your problem is muscle development. Although your abbs are already defined you can sculp and develop them further by exercises that hit your abdominal muscles.

Here is a routine I like that hits every area of my core.

V sit ups - 30- regular sit ups -30 - ab raises or leg raises. What you do is sit on a ledge or table and just raise your legs 90 degrees and back- 30 - Then knees to chest for a set of 30 - like running in place.

Do this straight through and it will count for one set. Try to do 3 sets.

thanks ha ha I got one for you to try that I do, take a big bouncy ball like the exercise balls and your feet on it and your hands on the floor that way you are in push up position and then roll your feet forward so that your butt is up in the air and your hands on the floor and the tips of your toes on the ball, then roll back down slowly and keep going untill your back in push up poistion and then roll back fuurther so your arms are straight. :) try ten ha ha hurts pretty bad

Yeah that's like the same as the abb wheel or whatever they call it. I also use a turso track witch works very well and is the same range of motion.

Good lord, you don't define bmi as percentage. Percentage refers to body fat itself. Use the correct terminology, people. Also, based on the info above the actual bmi is 19.4.

[MyNameIsJonas]

I beg your forgiveness.

Excuse my terminology, Body mass indication is not the same as body fat percentage.

Although my answer still stands. You need more muscle development and it has nothing to do with your BMI or fat percentage because both are at a low.

Your failed attempt at trolling is obvious. Skinny guys with abs are like fat girls with t*ts...no amount of running is going to make them show anymore. Do some sit ups, and put a little bulk on, then you will have real abs and real strength. I'm 5ft 9in weighing 190lbs, but with a 32 in waist, and a killer 6 pack. That's what we call REAL ABS, yours are only there cause these no fat to cover them, gain 10 lbs of fat and there gone, promise.

well I do ab workouts daily, they are really hard so I know they are strong but I thought maybe if I was running everyday and working them out that would deffinetley help? Also I understand you have to eat a lot more at meals.
