whats the easiest way to get your abs more defined?

Question:

Answers:
If you just want a little definition in your abs, all you really need to do is to watch your diet and do aerobic exercises. These will reduce the underlying fat that covers your muscles, which already has some definition.

To build much more definition, combine diet with stomach exercises. If you don't want to do stomach crunches, try holding your stomach in and tighten it every once in a while during the course of the day, and hold it for a 15 seconds each time.

Doing this is a form of isometric, which build's muscles. Doing it when you're bending over, for example to lift groceries, is a modified form of a stomach crunch, which further builds and defines your ab muscles.

Also, work on your posture.

Hi, I am a pharmacist and personal trainer from Oklahoma.

The best way to get your abs more defined has nothing to do with crunches or curl-ups or any of the other exercises that strengthen rectus abdominis. These exercises only strengthen the muscles not define them. To get them more defined you need to reduce your body fat composition percentage. Cardio (running, swimming, jogging, cycling, etc.) and high protein, low-fat and low-carb diets are the best way to acheive a reduction in the percentage of your body fat.

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)
