I’m 14 and go to planet fitness like 3 or 4 times a week. There’s this machine for your abs and you kneel on the pad and you set the resistance and you hang on to handles and use your ab strength to turn yourself . I was wondering if anyone knew that if I did 3 sets of 15 on each side if after a while( while eating right and doing other excersises and playing soccer and lacrosse 4 times a week if this mchine will help me get a six pack ( not a rigid one) please help I want serious answers.

Well your doing cardio, eating right and working the ab muscles so of course it you will.

today I tried doing some crunches…but it is sooo painful! last 3 days my abs were in pain. 3 days ago I did 5 mins work out, I know I did not over do it…I shouldn’t be (because I followed ab work out through the ab fitness magazine…12 reps for each side…etc) simple routine…how long should I wait? should I still do my workout today? or wait until the pain goes away??
I know about 45-48hrs you should wait until your next ab workout (at least that what I am reading in my ab workout magz) but I am in such pain when I tried today…I couldn’t breath
any advice(s)?? thanks!!!

LOL I do 15 minutes of ab workouts everyday day.

What style of dancing is it? Not the chair or the pole, just the regular ab excersizes. Is it bellydancing? Or what is it?

its inspired by a striptease dance. thats the kind of stuff you see in strip clubs. its not bellydancing.

I sit at my desk at work for roughly 3 hours a day. I’m male, in good shape, but I want to know if sitting on one of those ab balls will give me any real benefits.

just sitting on the ball wont give you any advantages but if you secure it by putting a large object(a chair maybe) behind itand try a few moves on it(listed in the manual)

What I mean by this is if a person is an athlete, how much does good nutrition help performance and development?

What is the best kind of workout routine?
How often should one run to optimize endurance? (Is everyday the best?)
How often should one lift weights? Every other day for upper body and every other day for legs?
How often should one do ab work? Everyday or every other day?
What are the best types of foods to eat for becoming a better athlete?

Take into account that I am a female who is already very active and has good fitness, but is looking to develop more for college soccer.

Nutrition is everything. It will provide with amino acids, vitamins and minerals necessary for the development of muscle and having a proper balance of electrolytes.

As far as weights, I would say skip them. When I played soccer, running a couple miles everyday was more than enough to develop toned legs but at the same time wasn’t too much as to hinder ability on the field.

Lean protein like fish, chicken, turkey is always good for your fitness.

My favorite is a curl, suspended on the ball. Lay on the ball, with the ball at the small of your back. Then move up like you would with a curl, but as you’re isolating your abs to bring your upper body up (your face would be facing the ceiling, as with a floor crunch) use your lower ab muscles to stablize the ball and bring it slightly up, towards your head.

So think of a curl on a fitness ball, but instead of just allowing your upper and side abs to do all the work, also concentrate on isolating your lower abs and rolling the ball towards your head (away from your feet) very slightly. As you try it, you’ll understand the motion. Do 3 sets of 15 and you’ll be SORE the next day.
