Enough to make a six pack?

[Anonymous]

I'm 5'6 and about 128 lbs. I've gt a little bit of extra fat on my stomach. People think I'm skinny, but I do have some fat around my belly. I can see some definition on my top abs, but nothing around the bottom four.

I'm going on vacation in two months. I plan to run 2 miles every day, and do some ab exercises every other day. Do you guys think that will be enough to get a six pack?

Oh, I forgot. I've been eating chicken every day, for the protein.

It really all depends on how your metabolism is like. If you have a slower one the chances are that it will be very hard for you to accomplish that. If your one of the guys with a faster one your in luck though, to get the top 2 sets of abs anyways. Regular ab work outs won't cut it though, if your looking to get abs within 2 months your going to have to do resistant weight training. wich is like having your bodey leaning at a downward angle with your legs locked kinda like a decline bench press and then straighten out your bodey flat. with will help you work all the ab muscles. you can do crunches this way with medicine balls also to improve your results. You will also need to do exercises to work your love handle areas to make your abs look better. This is the basics that I know about the ab muscles, been lifting for about 5 years now. If you need upper bodey help you can ask me, I benched 500lbs when I was a junior in high school. Haven't maxed this year though.

I pretty much each fast food every other day and drink tons of soda but I stay skinny- so Id say I have a fast metabolism. I'm cutting back to like no fast food though. And like I mentioned, I will continue eating chicken every day that I can.

I've got one of though decline bench presses too.I'll try to utilize that.

I'm running everyday. Do you think I should work my abs everyday too?

I never exercise so hopefully with the cut back of junk, the exercise, and extra protein.. I'll get some abs

For you to build the muscle and for it to show in the defnied version you need the nutrients to do it. Fast food and pop is a no go. If your really serious about it you'll cut those out starting now. the 2 miles a day is decent run but you need about 30 straight min of abs every other day, no more or you risk breaking down your muscle instead of acually gaining it. you really need to try and iccolate your core so always try and hold it when its flexed at its peak. I would say more but no words.

Keep on.. ha

Ok eat 6 meals a day wich 2 of them will be protien drinks. keep the meals small if you want the pack you need just about 1200 calories a day. this is enough so the bodey knows your not starving and to keep you running. that's about 200 calories a meal. So it will be very small snacks throught the day. Your going to need a pure protien drink try WHEY they usually do a good job of this. look around to see which product bests fits what you need. try and drink over a gallon of water a day.

i don't like when guys are rock hard around their abs. do you go to the gym a lot though? because you're not going to get a real six-pack unless you workout a lot and pack on pounds of muscle. at 128lbs, when you lose that bit of belly fat, it'll just mean that you don't have enough body mass to cover your stomach, it'll mean your skinny, not built.

but I don't think you should do that, because I like a bit of tummy =]

Running gives people abs now?! Lol, kidding. Try some crunches.

[Asker]

You can do all the crunches you want, but if you don't burn off all the fat then your abs won't show through.. So yes, running helps a ton.

Everybody has abs, but everybody has body fat that covers them. You can show your six pack solely from running off the fat.

[adorkabletmtm]

Well I wouldn't know, I'm not athletic at all... Can you tell?

[jojojosephine]

Running DOES give people abs...

[adorkabletmtm]

Mmm.. To be honest I don't think that's intense enough.
