You can crunch till the cows come home , but if your diet is not up to par, you are spinning your wheels. Try doing a full body workout along with some cardio and you will see your body change.

I have like a 30 pack now and look slicker than Spiderman :)) But seriously, one of many ab exercises I do is the decline bench with a 25lb weight on my chest, holding it in place by crossing my arms over it, then doing situps.

The new muscle will just push the fat out further. This is where diet must be in order to show them. First you have to build them, then diet to show them. abs are like any other muscle. To build them, they must be hit with resistance and rested. Then proper diet will reveal all the work. Crunches with just bodyweight will not build you the "six pack" you desire. -------------- As far as genetics go, the skies the limit. You are limited only by your mental perception of it. Ron

I've cut down most of my fat sources from my diet... and yet the flab is still there... although lesser. Any good supplements to help burn the fat, or does it take a longer time for the flab to go off?

Fat comes off where it wants, not where we want it. This is so many times where people fail in their goals. They think it isn't working when they may well be on the verge, and stop doing the diet. Patience is very key here. The body fights to hold fat, it is it's survival mechanism. Stay with the program, you will see your results. By the way, it is not just fat sources you need to cut. In fact, healthy fats can help you burn fat. -------------- As far as genetics go, the skies the limit. You are limited only by your mental perception of it. Ron
