Sit ups and crunches are a great way to tighten the muscles in your stomach area, but you must remember, you can't just eat whatever you want before and after you exercise, because it will be a waste of time exercising. Eat a lot of proteins, for example eggs, fish, liver, nuts, raisins, kiwi, chicken etc.

Here is a sit up - http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/beckersitup.gif
Lay on the floor, and grip your hands behind your head. Slowly lift your back off the ground, and then lower it back down. To get a good workout, do around 100. (Fast = fat removing / Slow = muscle gaining)

Here is a crunch - http://www.fitnessgenerator.com/imag...ses/crunch.gif
This is like a sit up, but is more affective. Lay on the floor, and grip your hands behind your head. Make sure your knees are bent in the air, or perched upon a high surface (chair/bed etc) Again, slowly lift your back off the floor, and then lower it back down.

REMEMBER - When exercising, always have a break inbetween. In this break, have a drink of water, or rest. Water is good because when you sweat, the body needs water to replace the liquids lost. Also, if you feel ill, or begin to hurt at anytime during the exercise, stop immediately. Finally, the next morning, or later on after you've done the exercising, if you begin to have a stomach pain, like it's been pulled, it's because you're not quite used to it, and it means you're doing the exercising correctly.

In a sit up, cross arms on chest to avoid lower back pain in lower life.

ty for post .. ive got the pack its just bit hard so see as i have tiny bit of fat and hopeing to loose :P

Thats the wrong way to do situps. Its bad for your neck to stick your hands behind your head. You can pull it and injure yourself. The best way to do it is to stick your arms crossed over your body and then sit up

Because they target the selected area more, in this instance the abs. Situps still target your abs, just not as much because there's a lot more motion going on.

Will Try, Not Fat But could Build More of a Pack :)

Cool ideas :) though eating too much proten can decrease bone densitiy, so don't eat too excessive in proteins, also drink lots of water, reduces bloatednes which could make you appear more fatter than you actually are.

50 Fast and 50 Slow? Best of both? Would that be good?

Nice guide xD Ill be doing them :P

Slight bumpage, but just so everyone knows, you don't have to do nearly as high as those images are showing. That extra ten or so centimetres does nothing. Concentrate on lifting your abdomen off the ground, that's where you're tensing the most, therefore using more muscle.
