So, recently I got some decent abs, really not sure how. I did swimming for a while, not much working out. Now, I'm out of swimming, and I'm losing it. Any decent, worthwhile work-outs I could do? Besides the common sense sit-ups / crunches? About a month back - http://img38.imageshack.us/i/picture023ai.jpg/

Cardio/running.. Kickboxing helps a lot too... Belly dancing would be really helpful but mostly popular for girls...

If you still look like you do in that pic cardio exercises are kind of pointless since you don't have a lot of belly fat. If you want your abs to bulge out more do weighted crunches.

[quote] alexwilson94 : Weighed crunches? Elaborate please? [/quote] Take a weight and hold it across your chest or behind your head and do crunches that way. Form is more important than the number of reps. There's dozens of great ab work outs you can do though, I recommend just youtubing it and you'll find some great ones.

Oh wow, never done that before. Thanks man, I'll give it a shot. What would be a good weight amount to try out? Edit: Curl ups don't really do anything for me ;o

Even 10 lbs would work though, just try a weight and if it's too light use something heavier next time.

Right on man, so, the form is all that counts? Using something to keep my feet on the ground isn't the best idea is it?
