I'm confused! I was told using weights for ab muscles would make them bulk up and not give me a smaller waist. I used to do this very exercise and it feels so good, but then I was advised to stop it. You look good so I don't know.
For visible abs on stomach you need low % of body fat, that s the key. If you man you need bf about 8-10%, if you women for visible abs bf should be around 13-15%. You can have best abs and strongest abs in a world, but if you have to much fat your abs can t see, because they are under layer of fat :) I hope that I help you little. For low bf you need nice diet, 6 small healthy meals per day and you must work cardio, like running, fast walk and else :) Sry on my English
Thank you very much for this video, I tried it and I really felt my waist tighten. And after the workout, it felt really good. I wanted to ask you, can you explain what you mean by keeping your stomach muscles tight? I tried to keep it tight but I couldn't while doing the exercise. My stomach was just normal. Thank you once again! =)
Hi, it's basically tensing your tummy muscles as you perform the exercise. Practice doing it first without doing a sit up by pressing your lower back into the floor then releasing. When you press, you contract. Then add your upper body movement. I hope that helps :o)
Thanks. So I am thinking 10lbs is also appropriate. for me. You are suggesting about 20 reps rights? What are your thoughts on heavier weights fewer reps? Thanks and I appreciate your fast reply.
Hi, the amount of weight you use depends on your strength. For ladies, I would suggest more reps, but for guys you can use heavier weight and fewer reps.
I heard that these excercises , particularly using weights, will actually create a bulky , thick waist. Now i am confused. I stopped doing these years ago but have always missed that burn. What's the deal?
Hi, using weights to add resistance to your ab routine will not give you a bulky, thick waste. Using weights helps to fatigue your stomach muscles faster cutting down on the number of reps you need to do in order to benefit from the exercise. Weights helps to tone and shape and flatten. I have been using weights in my ab routine for years and I do not have a thick waist, nor is it bulky. I believe that thinking came about from people with excess fat in their abdominal area...continued....
assuming that using weights was making their stomach larger. Unfortunately, if you don't lose excess fat in your midsection, you really won't see the definition of stronger and flatter abs show. That is why ab work must also be accompanied by cardio to burn excess calories and fat. Also, the amount of weight you use in an ab routine is very small and in my opinion not heavy enough to product bulk, but just enough to provide resistance for those that are need to challenge their muscles more.
Hello, thank you for the video! I was wondering approxiametely how long does it take to obtain a small waist. And should we start with 20 sets and increase the number of sets everyday? Also should we do a set in the morning and one at night? Thanks!
Hello, thank you for the video! I was wondering approxiametely how long does it take to obtain a small waist. And should we start with 20 sets and increase the number of sets everyday? Also should we do a set in the morning and one at night?
Hi, how long it takes to obtain a small waist will depend on what size your waist is and whether you do eat a healthy diet and do other forms of exercise. Unfortunately, without seeing you or knowing more about you, it's hard for me to say. I would recommend doing this exercise once a day. You can start with 10-20 repetitions each side (however many is comfortable) and increase when you want more of a challenge.
Hi, you shouldn't feel any pain when doing this exercise. Are you referring to sore muscles after you do it, like the next day because that is normal. Not sure why only one side is sore, perhaps you did not do both sides equally with equal form. Let me know.
IMPORTANT - I have seen a variation with the knees straight and locked not bent the way you do it. Which one is the right way and does not over stress the knee overtime? Also why do you need to take one hand up while the other goes down? What does the hand going up help you with?
Hi, with knees straight, you cannot really move very far from side to side or you will injure your side. With knees bent you can control how far you go down that is comfortable for you. You have to move far enough to get the resistance. The other arm just naturally goes up as you bring the other arm down. You are simply adding a small extra movement to make a bit more resistance with the dumbbell.
Oh, my God, you're my hero! Thank you so much!! :D I'm training to get a really nice swimsuit body, but I'm a bit self-concious about my waist: I feel it's to wide for my taste. I wanted to shave off maybe an inch, and so far, I've been seeing excellent progress! Thanks again! :)
Hi i really LOVE your videos!!! i love how you always have an amazing attitude and ready to workout!! :) i started your workouts about a week ago and ive seen some good progress!! but i want to know if this workout gets rid of your love handles...i have small thighs and very big love handles and im trying to get rid of them and also my stomach fat...would this video help me with that??? please respond i really want to know.
Hi, yes it will. You should also do cardio exercise to help burn calories and excess fat. You will see results much quicker that way. This exercise helps shape and tone.
I'm really struggling with my weight loss. I was pregnant with twins and one of my babies didnt make it. My surviving little girl is almost two and Ive only lost 30 pounds of the 50 I put on. Workouts haven't been helping to tone my muscles much. My obliques are large and my waist is tiny, I need a little more help in that department. And the lower abs... Any advice as to how long this may take?
Hi, it definitely can be reversed. It won't be easy. It does take work, but you can get rid of the flabbiness. You must give yourself time though and you are only two months post partem so your body is still recovering from pregnancy. Stay committed to exercising and a healthy diet and you will see results. I know it's hard to find time for yourself with four children, but when you feel better and your baby is sleeping well so that you are more refreshed, begin a regular exercise program.
thanks for the great videos - your workouts are difficult but not impossible, and your perky attitude makes even the most strenuous exercises seem fun and worth while :)
Hi, I have always maintained my flat tummy, but I can tell you that after I had each of my children it took me about 1 year to get my tummy back to the way it is now. So keep working at it because it can take time, especially after pregnancy. Even though you may lose your pregnancy weight, the muscles take time to tone.
hi there! this is an awesoem excersize thank you so much! so quick question.. if i do this about twice a day for 20 min, 5x a week, how many days should i start seeing noticable results? thanks! :)
hi there! this is an awesoem excersize thank you so much! so quick question.. if i do this about twice a day for 20 min, 5x a week, how many days should i start seeing noticable results? thanks! :)
Hi, you will see and feel results with this exercise right away. Perhaps within one week. However, you only need to do it once per day every other day.
Hi, using a 10 pound weight can work your arm muscles as you perform this exercise. If you do not with to tone them at all take the weights down to 5 pounds. That should provide little resistance and shouldn't really build much muscle. It takes a lot of lifting over time to achieve muscular arms. Even if you do this exercise three times a week for a county of 25 on each side, you shouldn't see any muscularity that is too much for you.
@101ClaireRedfield do it without raising your arm, job done, or if u want a way without using your arms get in a sit up position, lay on your back.. put your knees straight in the air and put your hands behind your head and lay your arms on the floor, then lower your knees down to your side without touching the floor and repeat the other side
i am a mother of one and before i got pregnant my hip size was 10 and now its 14 . it would really help me if u could advise me how to get the size 10 back again would be really helpful thanks .
Running is a really good way to get yourself tonned again along with some yoga there should be afew yoga techs on youtube vids around check them out =)
You can completely egnore my advise if you like like to help people reach there goals im 18 and when im older i want to be nown for helping people =)
Hi, if you want to lose inches or excess fat, you really need to do cardio exercise at least 4-5 times a week for at least 40 minutes. Work your way up to that amount of time by starting with 20 minutes and as you get more fit, you can add more time. It will help you lose weight and inches. You will also want to do toning exercises to tone muscles.
hi i have a question,i barely dont have any hips(small hips) it dont have a shape at all.....is there any exercise u can recomend to get bigger hips?thank you.
@brielle1828 You could eat pastas and rice an stuff like that that makes your waist bigger ( 2 dumbells or any form of weights to each side of your waist and go down on one side an back up then down on the other an back up) the pastas will fill your waists and make them bigger wile the weights will build the muscle.
Be sure to do your research before listeing to other peoples advises though im no pro at this sorta stuff iv just been doing alot of my own research =)
I just always kind of followed fad diets - had no idea what obliques even were, honestly. I am going to try this exercise in an effort to get my stomach to be flat.
I like this! Gonna do it 2 or three times a day! I've got a lot of belly to firm up. This seems like the best way to get started and to get the energy going! My breathing acceleration just doing the first 5 reps! I was looking for something like this to get started with my weights. Thank you.
im 14 5'4 .5 ndd i weigh 131...i hav lik a small pouch i dnt really eat alot but i jst eat wat i like if i do this nd jst keep my daily life style how long will it b b4 i get a flat stomachh nd how many times a day do i hav to do this???
I'm trying to get a flat tummy or loose weight by August. I'm an elite softball player ands very active. But I still can't seem to loose the weight. Will this help me get that flat tummy and small waist? And how long till I see results? ..
Hi, this will definitely help you with your tummy and waist. You want to incorporate this exercise into your ab routine. For best results you should do about 10-12 minutes of ab work 3-4 times a week. This exercise can be one of the exercises you do in that 10-12 minutes. Please see my other ab workout videos for more helpful exercises.
This exercise is a magic bullett. I have been doing it now for 2 weeks and I cannot believe it! I have been trying to get a flat belly for TWENTY FIVE YEARS! Seriously, God bless you.
Hi, I love this workout. I think you have great abs, do you follow a special type of diet? I have two children, and I've lost a lot of weight, however i still have a little belly fat around my abdomen..don't know how to get rid of it..any tips will be appreciated...;))
Hi, I don't diet, but I do follow what I call a food-groups diet. Whenever I eat, I always try to have something from a different food group so that by the end of the day, I have had foods from all food groups. I eat lean protein, vegetables, fruits, low-fat dairy, nuts, and whole grains. I rarely ever eat processed foods or refined foods (i.e. white bread). You will lose your belly fat, just keep working at it. You may want to up your cardio intensity a bit, that can really boost things.
oh and sorry i forgot to ask one more thing, um does it matter if i dont squat for this excercise ? like if i do the same thing but just standind up ? or will this have a different effect. please write back asap thankss :)
Hi, as long as it is comfortable for you, you can straighten a bit more, but you will probably need some amount of squatting to keep the form correct.
hey :) um i have hard that this excercise actually builds up bulk on your sides is this true ? how long have you been doing this and did you get good results ?
Hi, these exercises are best done every other day. You always need a day of rest in between your ab workouts. That's how your abs get stronger and more toned.
Hi, no you do not. Several times a week is fine. You should, however, do something physical everyday if you have a job sitting down or you are a student and spend a lot of time sitting. 20-30 minutes of walking or cleaning; just something to get you moving a bit.
Quick question you said not to workout close to bedtime. Well I always try to work out during 6 or 7 and I'm usually done by 9. Would that be okay considering I go to sleep at 11?
Hi, that's fine as long as you don't have problems falling asleep. Some people have a hard time settling down to sleep because their body stays revved for a long period of time. You are probably used to your routine. My suggestion would be to do the higher intensity exercise first that way you get it over with earlier.
Hi, the best time is the time that works best for you. The only time I don't recommend is too close to bedtime. You want to reap the benefits of your hard work by enjoying your revved up energy and metabolism.
great for obliques, however what can you do for main abs, middle part and rear back, with eights i merlery do deadlift and jump rope, and shadow boxing, and squats with a bar weigts, great video by the way, great atitiude also! like people who are positive and real, bless u
Hi, this is just one of the exercises that I do during my sit ups routine. When you have time, please check out my other ab workout videos. I think you will find them helpful for exercises to add to your routine. I also have a very challenging advanced ab workout video available for rental here on YouTube. You can find all my videos easily by going to my channel page and browsing my uploaded videos. Thanks so much for your great feedback :o)
thank you for this! Just a question. I want to have a smaller waist, wittled waist, not a wide one. Won't this work the more deep set obliques and therefore widen the waist at the sides?
Hi, don't worry about your waist getting bigger from this exercise, it won't. You will tone your obliques and those muscles help pull in excess skin. Gaining weight would cause your waist to get bigger.
@MissLalaland89 They make this waist compressor called a "Squeem" you can get one from ebay or on their website. It acts like a corset, holding your stomach in place. Wear it when working out to get your stomach to sweat and it;ll eventually helpgive you a nice "dip" on your sides
Hi, this will not make your ab muscles bigger, it will make them stronger and tighter and more able to pull your skin in. Using weights taxes your stomach muscles more which causes them to fatigue quicker so you get more out of your ab routine without having to do hundreds of crunches, etc.
Absolutely! I truly believe you are what you eat. I try to focus on the healthy food groups including whole grains, veggies, lean meats, dairy and fruits and I practice portion control. When you have time, please take a look at my portion control diet video and my breakfast video. I think you will find them both very helpful :o)
Hi, you may be using incorrect form. Pay close attention to posture and go down only as far as is comfortable. If it is still bothering you, then you should discontinue doing it. Not every exercise is suitable for everyone. It's very much a trial and error as every persons body and posture is different. Hope that helps :o)
I'm confused! I was told using weights for ab muscles would make them bulk up and not give me a smaller waist. I used to do this very exercise and it feels so good, but then I was advised to stop it. You look good so I don't know.

@brielle1828 You could eat pastas and rice an stuff like that that makes your waist bigger ( 2 dumbells or any form of weights to each side of your waist and go down on one side an back up then down on the other an back up) the pastas will fill your waists and make them bigger wile the weights will build the muscle.
Be sure to do your research before listeing to other peoples advises though im no pro at this sorta stuff iv just been doing alot of my own research =)

I just always kind of followed fad diets - had no idea what obliques even were, honestly. I am going to try this exercise in an effort to get my stomach to be flat.

Hi! I have a question:

Not at all. You are working your quads as well to do this exercise. You just found another place you need to work on!

I like this! Gonna do it 2 or three times a day! I've got a lot of belly to firm up. This seems like the best way to get started and to get the energy going! My breathing acceleration just doing the first 5 reps! I was looking for something like this to get started with my weights. Thank you.

I'm trying to get a flat tummy or loose weight by August. I'm an elite softball player ands very active. But I still can't seem to loose the weight. Will this help me get that flat tummy and small waist? And how long till I see results? ..
liviah33 8 months ago
Hi, this will definitely help you with your tummy and waist. You want to incorporate this exercise into your ab routine. For best results you should do about 10-12 minutes of ab work 3-4 times a week. This exercise can be one of the exercises you do in that 10-12 minutes. Please see my other ab workout videos for more helpful exercises.

@liviah33 as the advise from her is good she missed out that you need to have a good diet =) but maybe you already no that.
Eating stuff like:
Bananas - People say there fattening but forget the fact they are good fats and would go perfectly with the fact you play softball
Green tea - helps loose weight easy also =)
my personal fav is (cinimon) put it on anything it is awsome for fat burning
Im not a pro so do your research before taking my advise ty =) and good luck with t.

Hi, I love this workout. I think you have great abs, do you follow a special type of diet? I have two children, and I've lost a lot of weight, however i still have a little belly fat around my abdomen..don't know how to get rid of it..any tips will be appreciated...;))
sisian1 8 months ago
Hi, I don't diet, but I do follow what I call a food-groups diet. Whenever I eat, I always try to have something from a different food group so that by the end of the day, I have had foods from all food groups. I eat lean protein, vegetables, fruits, low-fat dairy, nuts, and whole grains. I rarely ever eat processed foods or refined foods (i.e. white bread). You will lose your belly fat, just keep working at it. You may want to up your cardio intensity a bit, that can really boost things.

Hi, as long as it is comfortable for you, you can straighten a bit more, but you will probably need some amount of squatting to keep the form correct.

Hi, no you do not. Several times a week is fine. You should, however, do something physical everyday if you have a job sitting down or you are a student and spend a lot of time sitting. 20-30 minutes of walking or cleaning; just something to get you moving a bit.

Quick question you said not to workout close to bedtime. Well I always try to work out during 6 or 7 and I'm usually done by 9. Would that be okay considering I go to sleep at 11?
gabby1111able 10 months ago
Hi, that's fine as long as you don't have problems falling asleep. Some people have a hard time settling down to sleep because their body stays revved for a long period of time. You are probably used to your routine. My suggestion would be to do the higher intensity exercise first that way you get it over with earlier.

mclopez26 11 months ago
thank you for this! Just a question. I want to have a smaller waist, wittled waist, not a wide one. Won't this work the more deep set obliques and therefore widen the waist at the sides?
MissLalaland89 1 year ago
Hi, don't worry about your waist getting bigger from this exercise, it won't. You will tone your obliques and those muscles help pull in excess skin. Gaining weight would cause your waist to get bigger.
YouTips4U 11 months ago
@YouTips4U thanks very much for replying! You're wonderful. Starting those today :D
MissLalaland89 11 months ago
@MissLalaland89 They make this waist compressor called a "Squeem" you can get one from ebay or on their website. It acts like a corset, holding your stomach in place. Wear it when working out to get your stomach to sweat and it;ll eventually helpgive you a nice "dip" on your sides

but wouldnt using weights make your ab muscles get bigger rather than just burn the fat off and make your abs smoother and tight?
redsmooch989 1 year ago
Hi, this will not make your ab muscles bigger, it will make them stronger and tighter and more able to pull your skin in. Using weights taxes your stomach muscles more which causes them to fatigue quicker so you get more out of your ab routine without having to do hundreds of crunches, etc.

If it is hurting my back while I am doing this, am I doing something wrong?
rbuckner08 1 year ago
Hi, you may be using incorrect form. Pay close attention to posture and go down only as far as is comfortable. If it is still bothering you, then you should discontinue doing it. Not every exercise is suitable for everyone. It's very much a trial and error as every persons body and posture is different. Hope that helps :o)
