How can I make my abs more cut?

[Anonymous]

Awhile back I started working on my abs a bunch and they got really cut .. but I stopped working on them so much because it felt like he workouts weren't helping anymore.. and now it looks/feels like they're starting to fade away...

but every time I do the work outs, it only burns for the time being.. and I doesn't feel sore or weak after the work outs like it used to..

can someone help me with a way to make them better or get them back to how they used to be? or give me any abdominal workouts?

Look up some ab workouts on a YouTube channel called "Passion 4 Profession" or P4P, or something like that. They have some excellent ab routines with varying levels of difficulty.

Also, as unconventional as it sounds, try to incorporate more stretching into your workout. I've found that stretching is it's own workout if you stretch a muscle group (that you don't normally stretch) for half an hour. For the abs, you can try the arced-back "bridge". And leg lifts in the supine position really work the whole ab region, and even more so if you lift your neck while on your back.

Our muscles get used to our workouts. So if your doing for example...crunches - after a few weeks, you need to add to it, throw in a medicine ball, or light weights. And keep adding weight to it, as you loose resistance. Another thing to keep in mind ... just as our muscles become immune to weight ... They also get used to doing the same exercise over and over. Go online, look up different exercises and experiment. Pick 3 - 4 that you find give you the most resistance and create a weekly schedule.

Well if you feel like the workouts aren't doing anything anymore you need to do more tougher workout The key is challenging yourself but also listening to your body and making sure you don't overdo it, if that makes sense. But I wouldn't take my word for gold since I am definitely no fitness guru!

just do like 100 push-ups or so (depends on u) everyday, and also sit-ups really help a lot to keep your abs ahaha.

I think whatever you do, you can't do the same routine when you go to workout. You need to switch it out. Maybe you can do something different every day of the week and then keep tabs of what you do on each day.
