What are good workouts to get great flat abs for summer? 4 comments
I am willing to excersize and diet. I need to shed a few pounds as is and am VERY out of shape to any suggestions on a kind of workout to help with that as week as good. My body is not super thin but its iffy but my abs and stomach are really flabby and gross. Help?
By the way im also a teenage girl so keep that in mind with any workout tips.
For exercise: try 30-45 minutes of cardio and then do strengthening exercises for 30 min at least 5 times a week. I suggest a Swiss ball to do ab workouts and other exercises. It works many groups of muscles at the same time and helps to improve balance. And believe it or not, fast walking is really good cardio (if you hate running like I do…). You need to do cardio for at least 30 min to start shedding the fat, but 30 min is still good for your heart and burning cals). Just keep your heart rate up!!!
For Diet: try a balanced diet keeping calories at about 1500. Eat a LOT of veggies! Fruit is good because of the fiber and vitamin but it is made of fructose (a sugar more readily made into fat). Try whole-wheat carbs (each serving must have 3g of fiber or more), lean meat (only 4 oz a day cause any more turns into fat in girls), and lean dairy products (Dannon Light n’ fit yogurt is really good).
To help monitor everything, both diet and exercise, try a website like SparkPeople.com. It’s free, offers diet tracking, has workout regimens, and lots of support. 
Good luck!
