I'm a 16 year old girl and I am doing 8×1 minute of planks currently and I'm working my way up to doing a 5 minute plank. I run 6 days/week for 50-80 mins. I'm 5'4" and 104 lbs. I have been doing the plank for 5 weeks now and I haven't seen any results. How long until I have a 6 pack?

Hey there Rusty,
I've been reading you're website for a couple of months now and I had a question about getting abs and the plank work out. I'm 19 years old and until freshman year in college, I weighed about 170 lbs. During my freshman year I lost about 40 lbs and I now weigh about 140 lbs(gained a bit of weight since). I am trying to get better abs but my issue is that I have loose skin around my abs which was were I used to have fat. I am wondering if there is any other work out you suggest, or if I should just stick with planks. I admit I haven't kept doing them that much but I'm just wondering if this will do the job seeing as my situation might be slightly different.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi. I just had a baby 3 months ago. I am trying to lose the rest of the fat and tone up. I weigh 135 and I am 5'5. I would like to get back to my pre preggo weight of 115 to 120. I mostly want to be tone. What great exercises do you recommend. I do squats, plies and lunges with the baby. He seems to enjoy it. What else can I do

I've begun doing situps and when I come to the position where my elbows come to my knees, my stomach muscles (for lack of a better phrase) appear to form a triangle, rising up from my thorax. Is this common among those of us who have let that area "go"?

PS – my abs don't show much at all. I don't really have much bodyfat on my stomach at all. What should I do to make them pop?

Hey, my name is chad. I have had trouble getting good abs. I have a 6 pack when i flex my abs but when im just normally walking around and not flexing there is barely anything there. Its just little outlines of curves not any definite outlines of a 6 pack unless i flex. Can you help me? I dont know what to do to make them show up without flexing.

I'm 16…5'8. about 130 pounds

Hey man. I love this exercise because I can feel it working. I was wondering if it is okay to have a regular sized restaurant cup with a straw under my face that I can drink out of while doing the exercise, or if water reverses the effect. Thanks

The video is not viewable. How do you do the planks? With feet on the floor or up on a ball or couch? Thanks!

Iam 18, just left school and I have to say, I am absolutely ripped, but since i left school, I have been doing more crunches and my abs seem to slightly stick out in front of my chest. Only ever so slightly. It aint fat cos I still run and all that.

Will planks fix this?

I just came across your site today, I know that the planks are great, and getting to 30 seconds, is hard enough for me.

I just had 2 children in the past year and a half… needless to say I have little to no abdominal muscles. Anyway, I'm sure you are familiar with cross-training- I've been doing cross-training routines 3-5 times a week, plus HITT 4 or more times a week for the past two months. I'm definitely seeing and feeling a difference from my former post baby body, but is there anything I can do to speed up the process? especially with my midsection! Will the planks be best to tone up a post baby belly? I'm open for any and every suggestions you have, even nutrition wise.

I like to think that i eat pretty well. clean meals 4-5 times a day.

Hi I am 17 yrs old and i swim competitively and have around 9% body fat. But i still have that little fat around my lower abs. My upper abs and v-muscle(sex muscle) show but i just dont have the 2 lower abs muscles. Do you have any tips on how to get them? Ive been working on abs every other day, and i only see little results.

Thanks,
Zlatan

Chris,

You are just two months away from being ripped if you tighten up your diet and increase your activity levels. I actually think that going from 12-13% body fat to 6-8% body fat is very rewarding! Once you hit 10% and below, each pound you drop makes a HUGE difference in the way your body and abs look.

This is going to be a fun time for you!

Hi Rusty loving the site, i've never really been someone who exercises all that much, but now want to start, i've always eaten pretty much what i want an still seem to stay lean, My body fat percentage is 13%, you can see my abs but not that great. How long would it take if i were to really go for it and try and get my body fat to 10% and below? Im a male, and 27 years old

Cheers!
