a 6 pack won't come from endless cardio and crunches...you need full body movements to build muscle and burn fat...building muscle increases metabolism which in turn burns fat while you sleep if elevated enough...bodyweight stuff should be your starting point with squats, push ups, burpee's and even bear crawls are good for distance...sled dragging or tyre flipping are even better cardio / endurance type choices for distance or time...a simple diet plan to follow is 2 meals of protein and fruit followed by 2 meals of protein and veg and 2 meals of protein and healthy fats with as much water as you can handle and then a little more
diet for abs
has anyone got a good diet plan for some kickass abs? thanks in advance cheers

a ggod food plan is dependant on the foods you like to eat... adiet usually consists of non desireable foods that you get sick of and then it doesn't work...i eat the same thing everyday basically and if you can do that your set...that being said 2 meals of protein and fruit, then 2 x protein and veg, then 2 x protein and healthy fats with salad is the simplest plan i could give...just insert your favourite foods of each into the meals and your off

Thanks alot !
abs are like any other muscles so you need to either do weighted versions of crunches or choose a variation difficult enough for 8 - 12 reps to build them up...one of the best one's i've done is to perform L Sits where you have your hands on the ground next to your hips and your legs straight out in front of you and you lift your body off the ground and hold...you'll probably be weak as a baby for starters but do them every 2nd day doing as many sets untill you done 60 seconds worth of holds gradually increasing your max hold until at a minute straight
you might be tight in the quads and hip flexors which will make it harder but it's mostly lower ab strength...start off with legs crossed and gradually straighten out your legs...if you have access to a dip machine than do the same in a top dip position and raise legs (bent than gradually straight) out and hold
first excercise on this video, that's the correct way to do it. body should sit only on shoulders and moves slowly and fluid.
