How do I get abs?

[unknown______]

I'm unable to go to the gym but I do have some equipment. I have 10 pound ankle weights (which most likely isn't necessary for this), 5 pound dumbbells, 10 pound dumbbells, and an elliptical machine. I'm 5'2 and I weigh about 122.

Getting abs is two things. First you need to get ab muscle. You do ab exercises for that, with or without weight (with weights will increase the muscle tissue faster). Second is your fat layer on your stomach. You can have incredible abs, if there is a fat layer on top of it you will not see them. So you have to train fat down. Minimum below 20%, below 15% for a real ripped sixpack. But: be ready to accept that your breasts will shrink too. So up to you to find your best optimum.

You just need to get your body fat percentage down. In most cases the abs are already there but they are just not visible because they are covered by a layer of fat.

Cross crunches, reverse crunches, twists and planks is really all you need to hit all of the core.
But the real problem is the diet and eating habits, not the exercise.
More protein, drink more, eat more often (but less overall), cut sugars and simple carbs and eat more healthy fats instead. (fish, olives, nuts etc)
It is all about reducing the body fat, which is really the hardest part.

Honestly by don't need equipment for abs. Do a mixture of cardio to decrease ur body fat which is really important and do core exercises to enlarge ur abdominal muscles to make them easier to see. If u have a jump rope a highly recommend it because it burns calories faster then running and is safer for your joints. If u want any more advice feel free to ask

Do all of the normal ab exercises (sit-ups, v-ups, hollow holds, etc.) but use your ankle weights to make them more effective

Planks, ab rollers and push ups (they do target the abs). Proper diet and plenty of sleep are also important.

You have to decrease your BMI for them to show actually and then mostly just do a lot of crunches , you can't just increase the muscle or they won't show anyway underneath a fat layer

None of it!
You can begin with planking ;) pushups help too
Then sit-ups!

Next question. How do I do that?😂 I already work out, so I'm guessing dieting but there's like 100 different diets.
