i really want abs and i think im getting fatter. i really want abs.
p.s. im 13
At 13 you won’t likely get abs. Sorry, but its the truth.
What you can do, however, is try to control your weight so that when your body develops enough to start getting abs, it will be easier.
Stomach fat is some of the hardest stuff to get rid of. A good diet and lots of exercise will help, but it really just takes time.
Make sure you keep your metabolism up and avoid sodas and sports drinks. This will help your body use the stuff in your food instead of store it as fat. Eat healthy, low fat stuff like tuna, chicken, wheat pasta, etc.
Do LOTS of cardio. I mean LOTS. Get to the point you can run a mile without getting super tired and then go for two. Make sure your heart rate gets up and stays up. I’ve heard people say its got to be above 180, but I have never heard a legit source say that so I can’t tell you if its true or not. After you run, do some biking, either on a stationary or real, its up to you.
Crunches, crunches crunches. Sit ups, sit ups, sit ups. 50 or 60 at a time. Make sure your variate your routines or you will plateau. Look up bridges, reverse crunches, V-sits, cross-crunches, basically Google "ab workout".
Make sure you target your obliques as well so you dont end up with love handles.
It is also important to remember that you need to give it time to work and not get discouraged. Like I said, at 13 you will likely not get Spartan abs, but you can bring your belly fat down to a manageable level for when you turn about 16 or so.
Hope this helps more than the stupid acai berry BS does!
