“1,000 Sit-Ups And Crunches A Day and Still No Abs!”
by Tom Venuto
After 18 years in the fitness business, “How do I get great abs” is still BY FAR the most frequently asked question I receive out of the 30,000+ emails that come into my office every month. No doubt, it’s because abs are the one body part that most people are the most frustrated with. Although their questions are often phrased differently and each person’s situation seems unique, my answer to “how do I get great abs” is almost always the same…and you’re about to hear it…
“1,000 Sit-Ups And Crunches A Day and Still No Abs!”
One question I received recently REALLY got my attention because a young guy told me he was doing 1,000 crunches and sit ups a day and said he still couldn’t see his abdominals. He wrote:
“Tom: I have been working out for around a year now and I cannot get my lower abs into any type of shape. I’m starting to see my upper abs a little bit, which is great, but despite doing 900 various crunches, ab roller, and 100 sit-ups four days a week, along with my regular workout on the weights, I still have a tire around my waist. What else can I do?”

What did I tell him? Well, I gave him the same answer I’ve given thousands of people over the years, which is the only true “Secret” to great abs…
It takes training to increase strength, build endurance and DEVELOP the abdominals, but to SEE the definition in your abdominals – or any other muscle group for that matter – is almost entirely the result of low body fat levels.
This may sound counter-intuitive, but if you can’t see your abs, it’s not an issue of “muscle development” at all. You simply have too much body fat covering up the ab muscles. The lower abdominal area also happens to be the one place that most people – especially men – store the body fat first.

Then I don't have big abs!!!
But targeting any area for fat loss never worked for myself!!!

But one thing that helped is slimmer belt and kick boxing with punching bag!
The slimmer belt locks in heat and wearing it to workout has helped loss in those areas!
Kick boxing on punching bag with thia clench wuth knees and front kicks has really sharpened this area but overall body too!! It's been a bit and need to do kickboxing again

The brown fat is a beast to get rid of. Some of this is due to poor circulation in that areas. I have heard of people using a lot of different things to stimulate heat in that area while using a slimmer belt. One that some may not know about is Vick's rub. It really opens you up and helps to get blood flowing in those problem areas.

if diets right and everything else is good and still have problems, then primo.
