Fitness/exercise/6-pacs?
Friday, December 18th, 2009Im a 13 year old Male.
Im turning 14 In March 09.
I’m trying to get a 6-Pac [ABS]
I’ve been exercising using this routine for about 8 months now:
Routine:
50 Push Ups a day
40 Sit Ups A day
I can see the out-come, I can clearly see 4 pac but 2 are barely visible
My fitness is pretty good,
I used to go kick the footbal [AFL] For a few hours
And during school I would get some exercise.
–
Now my neighbors have moved
and Im on holidays
So my exercise is only my routine up top.
Any Ideas how I can improve?
Any good fitness routine I could use?
Is it true that exercising daily [Push ups,Sit-ups] is sort-of-bad for my fitness due to this being good for me to lose weight but loses me muscle?
Is sleeping late bad? [Even if I have my correct 8 hours of sleep]
Weight lifting is bad for 13-18 yr olds? I heard only start at 21?
Thank you,
Best answer gets 10 points, instantly.
I check daily

Hi there,
Any Ideas how I can improve?
when u do sit ups,pause for a sec or 2 in between the extremes.
the bottom 2 abs take a lil bit of extra effort and mere situps wont be much helpful.
lay flat on ur back on a wooden bench(dont do it on floor as it may sprain ur back) with both ur legs fully stretched out not touching the ground and start moving them in a controlled way up and back to the original position.
Move them up and then bring them to the original position…Check out this site

it’s sorta bad in a way if u daily work upon the same parts.Work for max 4days a week on them
Is sleeping late bad? [Even if I have my correct 8 hours of sleep]
yes it is u hv to start living a healthy life as the best time to workout is in the morning or evening
Weight lifting is bad for 13-18 yr olds? I heard only start at 21?
Yes again.Pls dont start before 19 coz u might not attain the height ur body can attain if given the chance.So u hv 2 options either to look like Franco Columbu at 5 5″
or wait till 19 for weights and may be arnold;)

You shouldn’t be working out every day. People don’t understand that working out actually breaks down muscle. The only gain you will get is when you allow your body to rest and recover. Take at least one day off per week. If you add hill sprints 3 days a week you will lose the remaining fat and be able to see your abs. Sleeping late isn’t bad, nor is weight lifting. Weight training actually strengthens your bones by pulling on them. Other than that keep it up.

You could probably benefit more if you do cardiovascular exercise as well as weight training. Just run or bike a few days a week or go on a treadmill or elliptical machine if you have one.
You also have to make sure to strengthen your muscles equally. Do exercises for your back muscles as well as your abs or you will ruin your body’s balance and your posture. It’s good that you’re doing pushups because they strenghten a lot of different muscles.
Also look into different ab exercises: bicycles, that butterfly kick thing, and the one where you raise your legs six inches off the ground for a minute.
You’re also supposed to allow the tears in your muscles to heal after a day of weight training. What you’re doing now probably won’t hurt you, but it might be more effective if you were to do your routine every other day, and do cardiovascular exercise for 20 minutes on the off days with only about 10 pushups.
