how can i tell if he has a six-pack?

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

ok so i like this guy, and he likes me too.

i love abdominals. how can i tell without asking him if he has some?

his body type is slim, hes about 5′7 hes 14 or 15 years old, and he weighs around 145. ( lol. dont ask how i know im not a stalker, just known him for years now)

he says he works out twice a week during b-ball practice, and his chest is flat from his collar bone, down to his waist, when you look at him with a shirt on. ( no fat areas towards the stomach! or maN-boobs!)

lol. just tryna figure out if he has abs, do you think he does? no mean answers, this is just for fun! :)

Hey Diamond,

When a guy is 5′7, his weight needs to be in the 130s or lower for him to have a six-pack, unless he has lots of other muscle that adds extra weight. Your guy may just have a smooth stomach without the defined six pack.

HERE’S ONE WAY THAT YOU CAN TRY TO FIND OUT whether he has one or not:

If you’re ever having a causal conversation with him, try bringing up the subject of belly buttons. Ask him if he has an "inny" or an "outy". If he has worked hard to get a six-pack, he’ll LOVE to lift up his shirt and show off his abs to you. This usually always works.

Good luck! :)

You are eating severely less food than your body needs to maintain the energy & metabolism required to lose weight. Everything you eat your body saves out of a fear of starvation.

First, determine if you are overweight by using the BMI calculator below.

Secondly, you need to eat in a healthy manner to lose weight, please use the calorie calculator below to determine what you need to eat to maintain/lose weight.

how do you get ripped arms?

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

WHAT IS A GOOD WORKOUT FOR YOUR ARMS,THAT WILL MAKE IT MORE MUSCULAR AND RIPPED THAN BIG AND BULKY?

Do mainly dumbbell exercises such as dumbbell curl, dumbbell fly and lat kick back. These exercises must be done at high volume (reps) and low-ish resistance (weight) to rip your arms rather than build or bulk them. Press ups, close grip bench press and bench press will also play a major part in ripping and toning your muscles. Remember high Volume and low Resistance. Also If you are aiming to increase size with minimum fat gain try clean bulking. Bulk on high carbohydrate foods which when combined with a high protein intake will feed the muscle and meet your nutritional needs. (But minimise fat intake for a lean and muscular physique. Good Luck

Fast and easy way to lose weight and belly fat?

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Alright I want to lose my belly fat and make my stomach fat. How do I lose the belly fat quick and efficient? I don’t want to put any strain on my body so I really don’t care how long it takes. What are some good ways to lose belly fat?

You can’t just lose belly fat. You lose fat overall when you lose fat. You cannot target one area.

Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.

Make a few additional small changes – walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.

Start a weight lifting routine. It will help increase your metabolism and make you feel and look better in so many ways. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can’t get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. A couple of the links I’ve included explain how.

In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.

Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate – in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don’t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.

Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.

Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.

Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.

Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.

Six Pack Abs Workouts:-5 non-traditional training techniques

They start skipping workouts and then become discouraged because of lack of results. Sometimes it is more difficult to stick to your workouts if they become boring or stale but there is no reason for this to happen.

Slim Down Low Fat Recipes – Lose Weight the Hard Way or the “easy” Way

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Do people who are looking to lose weight need help while doing so? This can have but two answers, yes and no. To decipher who would need guidance and who doesn`t, would depend on the individual themselves. Some people have the ability, and quickly pick up on how to choose and follow a sensible diet plan, whereas others find it difficult to without assistance. These particular dieters need company for encouragement, and to help strengthen their weaknesses which may hamper their chance of losing excess weight; without aid these people struggle with being consistent with their diet, and effortlessly find they cannot control the temptation to give in, or give up.

Weight loss is a major issue around the world because of the dangers to one`s health that obesity can cause. Let us face it, while you are grossly overweight, you are never going to be able to sit comfortable on a plane, look good in a bikini or win a marathon. Aside from these pointers it is all about health and inner vital organs like the heart. Obesity can cause heart failure. Keeping your weight down and your body healthy will have you see a new change of life. Things like running for a bus and being able to “catch it,” walking up the stairs without puffing and panting, or playing with the “grandkids,” or sadly in some cases the “kids.” Mom and dad if you are obese then if not for yourself think of the children and lose weight.

Are you familiar with phrases like?

Spare Tire

Love Handles

Muffin Top

Pot Belly

If you are then something tells me you may be looking to lose belly fat. The above references are not very flattering but neither is a podgy or flabby tummy. For some there may be no real issue concerning true obesity only that of a sagging belly or other fatty body parts. To lose weight, not only do you need a diet that works or a brain that thinks logically, but more importantly believing in yourself that you can get your weight down,

Below is a couple of slim plan weight loss recipes for those who can go it alone unaided, however for the people that can`t and see dieting as a problem, then you can join other happy dieters following the weightloss4idiots weight loss program. Each recipe has been carefully chosen to help you lose weight and make your diet a success in shedding the pounds. Eating healthily isn’t complicated once you know the basics. The balance of good health will help you plan for a healthy diet. Not many people who look to lose weight know what healthy eating means – and is there any wonder why with so much contradiction over particular diets. People under medical supervision and with special dietary requirements, and maybe taking specific prescriptive drugs should never attempt to diet or take up exercise without consulting their doctor first.

If you are trying to eat more healthily in order to slim down then you’ll need to pay attention to calories intake. It is not difficult to diet as some people think. Dieting is about following the guidelines and doing as suggested by the experts involved with your chosen weight loss plan to lose weight. The hardest part about the whole concept of dieting is, once you have achieved your ideal weight, is to keep it that way.

Some useful advice to help keep the weight off

There are certain sweetened juices and sugary beverages that can add unwanted calories, so avoid and drink diet pop, or better still water to quench your thirst. Sometimes the body craves food because it is dehydrated and drinking water is the best solution to remedy this.

Eat small healthy snacks; this stops your body from crashing because of low sugar throughout the day. Take in fiber – fiber keeps you feeling fuller longer (whole grain toast instead of white) and it will stop you from snacking on junk food.

If possible, keep healthy foods (fruits, healthy dishes) in visible places such as your kitchen sides, coffee table or at eye level on other household surfaces, this makes you more likely to nibble on healthier foods. Keep bad foods out of sight. The amount you eat in one portion is vitally important, when eating; use your dinner plate as a guide for specific food groups. Half of the plate should host fruit and vegetables, one quarter for grains/carbs, and the final quarter for meats. Plan your meals ahead of schedule eating times. This gives you the opportunity to consider different nutritional foods for your meals. An unorganized menu will have you eat foods as a matter of convenience to fill that gap.

An easy way of getting a few portions of vegetables into your daily diet is to make a tasty and filling soup. Leftover homemade soups can be put in a flask to make a quick, easy, low cal lunch for school, work or o take way a hunger pang.

Leek and Potato Soup

Potatoes make a great base for broths since they boil down and thicken. Chopped leeks with a sprinkling of herbs and seasoning added to spuds will result in a flavorsome soup.

Ingredients

1 tsp Olive Oil

1 Small Diced Onion

450g Chopped Leeks

450g Cubed Potatoes

500ml Semi Skimmed Milk

500ml Water

1 tsp Herbs

Method

Heat oil and lightly fry onion leeks and potatoes together for 3 minutes

Add milk and all water, along with herbs and seasoning

Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Sieve vegetables, retaining any juices

Liquidize vegetables, and then mix in vegetable juice

Reheat, season and serve

Everyone loves to eat curry and the good thing is the dieters can too, only one that is low in fat.

Chicken curry recipe, how hot is up to your own personal taste.

Ingredients

1 tbsp Oil

10g Butter

3 Cloves Crushed Garlic

1 Medium Onion

2 tbsp Garam Masala

1 tsp Ground Coriander

½ tsp dried mint

570g Chicken fillet cut into chunks

200 ml water

Method

Heat oil and butter together in a wok. Add garlic and onion and fry for about 5 minutes until onion a light golden brown. Mix in the garam masala, coriander and mint. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the water, stir, and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked and sauce has thickened.

No matter how tasty a meal is after it has been cooked or prepared, many of us are still inclined to spice our meals up with sauces and relishes. Although these can add that extra zest, they can be threatening and upset the apple cart so as to speak in your attempt to lose weight. Let us say you have made every effort to make a healthy green salad, only to smother it in mayonnaise or salad cream. If you find the urge to strong to resist eating an undressed salad, then use low fat sauces.

Some guidelines below

What is the Best Ab Workout for Belly Fat Loss?

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

The answer to the age-old question of “What is the best ab workout for losing stomach fat?” is…

None! Ab workouts alone don’t create enough of a metabolic response in your body to create fat loss.

As a trainer, nutrition specialist, and fitness professional, I often get asked what the best types of exercises and workouts are for losing stubborn stomach fat in order to bring out visible six pack abs. The problem is that most people with excess stomach fat looking to try to uncover their abs are searching for some “miracle abdominal workout” that is going to slash the fat off their abs in no time.

The thing is… they are going about the problem entirely the wrong way! The truth is that you don’t lose stomach fat by doing ab workouts.

The problem is that focusing most of your time and effort on abdominal exercises and abs workouts to try to flatten your stomach and bring out 6-pack abs is simply wasting your time from doing the correct workout programs that will acutally reduce your body fat for good.

If I were to choose an answer as to what the best exercises are for losing belly fat, my answer would include full body exercises such as the following:

various forms of squats, lunges, deadlifts, clean & presses, snatches, swings, presses and pulls, mountain climbers, sprinting, etc.

These types of full body exercises would encompass a much higher percentage of the workouts I would design instead of abs exercises directly targeting the midsection. The way you combine those full body exercises into a strategic workout that maximizes your metabolism is also very important.

Don’t get me wrong… I do recommend a certain amount of exercises that directly target the abs and core, but these are only a small fraction of the programs I design for my clients as your time is better spent focusing on the full body exercises that stimulate the greatest hormonal and metabolic changes within the body. In addition, a side-effect of working out using mostly full body multi-joint combo exercises are that you indirectly work your entire midsection even though you are not specifically targeting the abs.

Keep in mind that the most important factor for losing belly fat to see your abs is actually in the nutrition arena. No matter how hard you workout, if your diet is full of junk, then your abdominals will be covered with ugly fat. Nutrition is without a doubt the “king of getting a six pack”.

So let’s clear this up for good…

Stop wasting so much of your time focusing on situps, crunches, leg raises, and all those silly worthless “ab contraptions” in your efforts to try to develop 6-pack abs. Instead focus on high intensity full body lifts using combination multi-joint exercises all strategically combined into highly effective fat loss workouts. Couple that with a healthy diet full of natural unprocessed whole foods as close to their natural state as possible, and those elusive six-pack abdominals will yours in no time!

How can a get a sexy six pack? What other abdominal excersises can I do?

Monday, March 29th, 2010

I am already physically ripped, and muscular as it is, however, I have to say, my abdominals are the weakest, and most undeveloped part of my body.

Don’t get me wrong, they aren’t bad looking, there’s some tone, but in comparison to the rest of my body, my stomach looks out of shape.

I done plenty of crunches and sit-ups and did them right, trust me, however, I can do literally hundreds of sit-ups everyday, and I never feel the burn, and never see results.

I brought machines, and that doesn’t work. The only thing that works for me is jogging.

There has to be another workout, however, I suck when it comes to other abdominal excercises, so anyone want to tell me any other workouts?

Thanks.

You could try the ab lounge which works great, and will give you something new. Your body gets used to doing the same crunches and sit ups over and over, which is why you are no longer seeing results from it. Also try doing those sit up and crunches on an exercise ball, you have to use your core abdominal muscles to balance yourself while doing the work out, so it requires alot more out of those sit ups and crunches.
** Very important remember to stretch out your stomach after doing the sit ups and crunches. A really good one is to lay on your stomach face down and lift up with your hands so you basically look like a snake, and hold that way. It stretches your stomach muscle really good. You need to stretch out those muscle so they become long and lean, and not all bunchy, which will give the appearance of being fat even if you are totally in shape.
Another thing is to make sure your back is in good shape which will help you shape up those stomach muscles!!
If you are in great shape you can try moon boots, you use a pull up bar and have these boots that attach to your legs, you then attach them to the ball and hang up side down and do sit ups from there. But that is an extremly hard work out, but will do alot of good.
Good luck to you!
