Can't Get SIX PACK ABS? Have You Tried This...

[LeonidSparky]

What music do you listen while you running? Write some songs please. (Sorry for my English if something is not correct)

[shakelightly]

@LeonidSparky give me some time and i'll put a music section up on my site :)

[charly0vm]

Man, where can I find your music??

[shakelightly]

@charly0vm LOL i'll try and make more and put a music section up on my site soon :)

[ssskkkiiibbbaaa]

what program do you make your music in?

[shakelightly]

@ssskkkiiibbbaaa garageband and FL Studio

[ssskkkiiibbbaaa]

@shakelightly how much did you get that treadmill for? How much would i need to spend to get a decent one?

[shakelightly]

@ssskkkiiibbbaaa buy them used from craigslist or a gym which is going out of business

[SurvivorXP]

Hi, nice video!. Should i do cardio every day? or twice a week is ok?

[shakelightly]

@SurvivorXP i try and get 20-30 minutes daily but everyone's different....up to you

[kokalti]

Man I lost 80 pounds in a year. Now two years later its slowly creeping up. I'm 6.5 was 280 went down to 200 now im at 220. Im trying to get that six pack like yours its just so hard to maintain. I say its harder then losing weight.

[shakelightly]

@kokalti the body's like a car; if you let it sit in the garage and never run the engine, it'll just just rust and collect dirt. gotta maintain it and take her around the block a few times each week :-)

[ShadowClashEx]

for anybody that's still in high school try joining the track team best way to get in better shape, most the time track is usually the sport that allows you to use the weight room the most, stay away from shot put or dont put yourself down if you cant throw as far as them most the time its usually heavy people in that team and thats there advantage. rarely theres actual fit people in that part of the sport.

[trikstar198]

i just watched a 6 in half minute video of a man more ripped than me running on a treadmill... my life has officially become boring.

[Robiblogs]

I like doing full body cardio rather than this because I works the full body not just the legs but from time I time I go on the treadmill

[KnightHero22]

Hey dude, just curious, what is your current body fat percentage? I'm like around 9% and want to reach about 7%. I love to run as well, and I'm currently doing the insanity program. But I also hear that nutrition is FAR more important than anything to get lean. Thanks man.

[shakelightly]

@KnightHero22 i have no idea, i don't pay attention to that stuff. you heard right, eating healthy is key!

[mkuebler5]

Hay hay! Happy new year Brandon, have an awesome year mate :)

[shakelightly]

@mkuebler5 a very happy and healthy new year to you too!! :-)

[milesrulezz]

how many calories do you take in a day? like fats,proteins carbs, a rough estimate would be nice. thanks.

[shakelightly]

@milesrulezz i have way too much to worry about in life than the amount of carbs, fats, protein, etc., I'm taking in. This is bodybuilding magazine type of stuff and I don't subscribe to that way of living. Read the FAQ on my site about how many calories I consume.

[milesrulezz]

@shakelightly oh okay. yes i know what you mean. do you know how many inches you have on your arms just wondering? And i have an idea for a video you could do :D it should be about bulking and cutting and your thoughts on getting stronger fast

[shakelightly]

@milesrulezz 17 i think, no idea?? that vid's on my to-do list :)

[sexygamer2121]

do you should be in a movie,

[shakelightly]

@sexygamer2121 haha i'm the male equivalent of a butterface though (urban dictionary for those who don't know what that is)

[michduncanhbk]

Hey shake I got my abs to where i want them to be and i was just wondering is it possible to maintain them through just cardio? or do i have to continue my ab exercises as well?

[shakelightly]

@michduncanhbk i don't work my abs just to have abs...i work the abs to have a strong core which plays a huge part in overall body mechanics. if you want to increase the odds of staying injury free when doing your cardio, work the abs.

[flipdog1022]

Thank you Shake! Great music and workouts of course:) Happy New Year and thanks for giving me the drive! The music is perfectly in-sync on so many levels!

[iwave2]

Yes, finally I found a video that proves that running is one of the best workouts!..I have a lot of friends that hit the gym 6 days a week, always lift heavy weights and never do cardio, they look like a King size cheese burger!..instead of that I only hit the gym 3 days a week but always include cardio (running) in my routine and my body looks more healthier, lean, ripped and sexy that theirs...Thanks Shake!! you are awesome, I'm also following your abs and shoulder routines!!

[shakelightly]

@iwave2 i call it "meathead syndrome" --- tons of new videos coming in february :)

[iamsuperfritz]

how much running do you do in a week and at what speed? Is it better to run long and slow or fast and furious?

[shakelightly]

@iamsuperfritz i mix it up week to week. too hard to answer your second question, many different combinations of doing both to achieve many different goals.

[monjhs]

Great song-you could run forever with it. Happy New year!

[shakelightly]

@monjhs thanks! Happy New Year to you too! :-)

[MD5]

Running has always been one of the harder things for me. One, because I've just never really liked it, but because I feel I have so little incentive to do it already being so thin. I've always been warned that my metabolism would slow down, but here I am in my mid-20's weighing the same as I did in high school, which I'm not satisfied with. I think this may motivate me more to do it, if even for heart health. I'm just afraid being 135-145lbs at 5'11" without doing any real and regular cardio

[shakelightly]

@MD5 try hill sprints :)

[pstarwars]

is running up and down stairs an appropriate form of cardio?

[shakelightly]

@pstarwars yep and it's one of my personal favorites

[jaejunie]

what is this delightful exercise called?

[shakelightly]

@jaejunie running :)

[jaqdudley]

@shakelightly ok thanks, really good song btw

[pooka573]

u rock shake! Does watching this vid count has by cardio for today? lol j/k. Wishing you well for the New Year!

[shakelightly]

@pooka573 LOL only if you ran in place while watching it! Happy New Year!!! :D

[jaqdudley]

This song on itunes? Whats the name of it?

[shakelightly]

@jaqdudley I called it The Hills of Silent Vincent. I made it myself. I haven't posted it to my site yet but if you search the Frequently Asked Questions page for "music" click on one of the links and you can find it to download.

[ContosdoCapeta]

I want U body naked *-----*

[SurvivorXP]

Hey shakelighty, do i have to do cardio everyday to get nice abs? or 3 a week is ok?

[shakelightly]

@SurvivorXP it's impossible to say...just eat right, workout to your own body's ability and give it time. doesn't happen over night.

[bkny11215]

I always laugh at people who think sit-ups make fat disappear.

[shakelightly]

@bkny11215 people make millions upon millions of dollars off of those people

[TheTerryE]

@shakelightly For me, it's the 1920s. That would have been an awesome time.

[tipsychi]

definitely gonna try this after the winter to get abs......finally lol

[shakelightly]

@tipsychi :D

[antidescent]

you got my thumbs up,, :D

P.S. 3 Lazy People thumbs down you, -.-

[shakelightly]

@antidescent thanks :-)

[damuslvr]

at the end, finally at my speed :)  happy new year,,,great shape btw :)

[shakelightly]

@damuslvr thanks...Happy New Year!!! :)

[ddf0dr1v3r2]

Plus ... if you have Hormonal Disorders, you Won't get soon a Lean Belly ... especially if you are A Teenager who is Still a Virgin (this is just one example, I recommend everybody to go to an endocrinology to see their hormones)

but, The Most Natural Way To Order Your Hormones To Work Well, is SeX ... ... No SeX, No AbS ... ... I do A LoT of Cardio Effort in 2-3 days per week (rest of days I am very busy) but I Still have Big Belly Fat, not even Frequent Cardio won't help me,cause i'm virgin

[creationgirl09]

My father, Gordon Pirie, was a long distance athelete in the 50's and he looked like he had escaped from a refugee camp - very thin and emaciated. My mother, Shirley Hampton, was a sprinter in the 50's and she had a much healthier body shape - she had amazing thighs and a six pack. She did weights as well.

[shakelightly]

@creationgirl09 i've always wished I could've been born to live in the 40's or 50s.

[Cannonlvr]

Crap. I've got a LONG way to go. I guess it all starts with that first step huh?

[shakelightly]

@Cannonlvr It sure does. Running, I believe, saved my life. It's help me kick bad habits, deal with stress and find hidden gems along the trails of my local community. Once upon a time, I couldn't run for more than 2 minutes with shin splints, cramps, blisters and gasping for air...now, like Forest Gump, I can run until I decide I don't wanna run anymore.

[Cannonlvr]

@shakelightly As a nurse, I can certainly understand that. I am not happy with the process. It's long, hard, takes effort and utilizes self control. But it's sooooo worth it and it becomes an invaluable gift that keeps giving throughout life if you keep it up. After being in healthcare for 8 years, I'd say eating a recommended balanced diet and excersizing regularly are the best and most important things for being and staying healthy.

[raven41179]

@shakelightly Very true Brandon! All the stress in the world can be pushed away with any type of vigorous activity. Thank goodness that my job has this because there is plenty of stress to go along with it. :-)

[shakelightly]

@raven41179 with our economy in the shape it's in, thank goodness you have a job! :D

[pbf2004]

Thank you so much for the link to freedieting- one of the most comprehensive sites I have seen. Our body has been very motivational and your videos fun.

[ctrone]

You're not even sweaty!! Huh???

[shakelightly]

@ctrone from that? that was nothing! :P

[riman2man]

You get a thumbs-up for validating treadmill use. Too many of the meatheads at my health club turn up their noses at it.

[shakelightly]

@riman2man it's endemic to meatheads everywhere

[HowsaBowsaYowsa]

LOL at the masturbation comment. Nice to see you back on this channel. Happy New Year!

[shakelightly]

@HowsaBowsaYowsa Happy New Year to you too!!! :D

[depfox]

Cool video

[shakelightly]

@depfox thanks! :-)

[faddycool]

@shakelightly

man i want abs like you please man can u help me..

i have slim body and i want to make v shape body like you and big biceps..

i dnt know what to eat and how much..

please man help me out..

[shakelightly]

@faddycool if I had $1 for each time someone's asked me this, I'd never have to worry about paying the bills again. keep watching my vids, more updates coming :)

[iraqismartheart1]

best thing to have 6 pack like you and me is : count calories , no carbs or fat or high calories in the night, do cardeo in the morning on an empty stomach for at less 30 min and train your Abs from all angels at less twice a week !

[shakelightly]

@iraqismartheart1 i do my cardio in the afternoon or at night---as long as you do it, there's no right or wrong time but you're absolutely right, counting calories is very, very, important! thanks for the comment!! :)

[G6600]

@shakelightly How can I learn to count colories. How can I know how many calories do I need during the day? Is there any formula for that? I am m. 175cm and 80kg. Thank you very much for showing us the right way ;)

[shakelightly]

@G6600 I put a link in the description box...I think it's pretty accurate. Definitely check it out! :-)

[Jonny300C]

sexy body

[ALPHAandOMEGA44]

I agree look at a sprinters physique compared to a cross country runners physique.

Great videos man

Keep on keep on

T

[shakelightly]

@ALPHAandOMEGA44 thanks! yeah, look at any athlete who requires endurance in their sport---they're ripped to shreds! and if you follow MMA, 99.9% of the time, the guy with better cardio conditioning comes out victorious.

I'm willing to bet the majority of people who dislike this video will be meatheads or people who bought the ab roller when they should've purchased running shoes.

[shakelightly]

@ALPHAandOMEGA44 just read this again...I totally knew what you meant but some people might classify endurance differently than me. Sprinters = ripped to shreds. Cross country/marathon runners = usually look sickly.

[TheTerryE]

@shakelightly Exactly! Marathon runners always look like their in desperate need of a pizza or at least a few more cookies.

[TimothyNDouglas0711]

hot

[sincereguy5246]

your hot

[zodiolestes]

Way to go, Bernard! Run off all those Christmas cookies!! Looking Good!!!

[shakelightly]

@zodiolestes thanks! slowly, the Christmas cookies are coming off to make room for the new year celebratory alcoholic beverages :X

[PigeonTech]

I used to do 6 minute miles in the army, but now I'm at about 10 minute miles and 30 lbs heavier. Need to get back to that...

[shakelightly]

@PigeonTech that's the purpose of this video---hoping to motivate people to start running! the time I get on my miles is how I balance my weight...when I first started running, I could barely make a full loop around the high school track without getting shin splints. I'm way more impressed with someone who can run 6 minute miles than someone who can bench a school bus.

[NAVIglorian]

i hate to run. Didn't see, ur speed is 8.0? I don't think about run realy need for good abs..

[shakelightly]

@NAVIglorian yeah, 8.0 on 3% incline. I'll just say running is better for abs than an electric ab stimulator...

[SpaaceeBro]

Do you own a shirt? hahaha

[shakelightly]

@SpaaceeBro LOL when doing these videos, whether I'm wearing one or not, someone always gives me shit :P

[SpaaceeBro]

@shakelightly haha im just playing, all in good fun. You're helping me a shit ton.

[MrKbronct]

i heard that it's not good this machine for the knees

[shakelightly]

@MrKbronct ...and people say running on sand or grass can increase injury too. people also say masturbating can lead to arthritis of the wrist(s)....both can be pleasurable and provide health benefits :D

[MrKbronct]

@MrKbronct hahahahahahaaha

thanks

[brunoema95]

too long! D:

[shakelightly]

@brunoema95 and I was gonna film my whole run...I did 3 more miles afterward :)

[brunoema95]

@shakelightly you are crazy xD I should die in the first 5 minutes of running
