What's the quickest way to build abs?

Question:

Answers:
There is no such thing as spot reduction (targeting). What you need is a lifestyle change to a healthier way of living. Belly fat is a sign of weak abdominal trunk muscles but it is also a sign of weak core muscles and dysfunctional intestinal muscles. Now I did say core and trunk muscles as if they are different, because they are. Your trunk muscles are the outer muscles, the 6-pack as its called. Core muscles are below the trunk muscles and their job is stability of your body. Your intestinal muscles are dysfunctional because you aren’t eating properly, and it’s likely that you have so much undigested food in your intestines that the good stuff you do take in cannot be absorbed properly.

The problem you have is above no here is a solution that I advise anyone who asks.
Remember losing weight means you expend more energy than you take in with your food. Your body to lose weight and keep it off needs to average about 2 pounds a week weight loss. Anything faster and your body could possibly rebound and plateau or add more weight on. Just remember losing weight "fast" could cause you to put it back on faster. What you need is a lifestyle change, this is something I advise anybody that asks. Its kind of long but I think it will help.

There are 5 most important things that must go together in any workout program. These are part of changing your complete lifestyle to one that is healthier. They also help you to naturally optimize your metabolism. The faster your metabolism the better your body uses your food for energy, instead of storing it as fat.

I put them in the order of importance.

1. Eat more. Yes eat more. More meals that is. It is best to eat a small meal every 3-4 hours. The meal should be just large enough to where you are not hungry, as opposed to eating you are full. There is a difference. Eating 1 or 2 meals a day slows your metabolism down. You should have at least 4-6 meals a day.

2. Drink more water. Most of us don’t have enough water. This means our bodies are dehydrated. Two things a dehydrated body has trouble doing, one is releasing water. In order to lose fat you must be able to release water, because fat cells in your body are composed of mostly water. A dehydrated body cannot build very well. Muscle tone indicates a constant building state in your body. If your body isn’t building that means it is losing muscle and it’s never good to lose muscle that slows your metabolism and makes you look flabby.

3. Maintain a balanced workout regimen of cardio and resistance (weights). Cardio is good for fat burning and it’s easy to do and to progress yourself. Resistance is a little harder because it’s not as easy to know what to do. If weights aren’t your thing then try Yoga or Pilates. Both are very effective resistance and core training and can help you maintain lean muscle and increase your overall metabolism.

4. Smart supplementation of your diet is your best solution to making sure you get the nutrients your food doesn’t give you. Plus cleanses, as well as detox formulas are awesome for eliminating toxins we take into our bodies without knowing.

5. Sleep is a very important part of any healthy lifestyle regimen. When we sleep our bodies and minds refresh themselves and allow us to function at an optimal level. Sleeping allows muscles to rebuild themselves and when they do that, it speeds your metabolism.

You may ask why I gave you this long list instead of just telling you what exercises to do. The reason is if you think that exercising is all you need then you are mislead. If exercising were all we needed to look and feel great then everybody who works out at the gym would have great bodies and be healthy. It’s not true.

Other Answers:
Its important that you spend at least 30 minutes a day working out your abs. Make sure to work out all the parts of the abs. Here are some good ab exercises:
1. Bicylce - lay on your back, crunch towards the left knee with yur right elbow while having your hands behind your head, then the other side. Do about 4 sets of 50-100. The count starts from left to right which is one count and so on.

2. Crunches - layback, put your hands behind your head. lift your back off the floor while bringing your knees towards your chin. This works the lower and upper abs. Do about 4 sets of 50-100.

3. Dieting is very important. Try to avoid heavy carbs. Eat more protein.

4. Bring up the heart rate by doing aerobic exercise for about 30 minutes.

5. When you combine all the above, you will have a great abs after 3 months.
