  • But situps don't actually burn fat. They burn sugar. Your abs and stomach hurt after doing situps because the burned sugar waste can't be removed quickly enough from the muscle. It's a poor way of trying to loose weight, but good for toning muscle.

  • as much as you can do dont stop until you cant do no more and when you think you cant keep pushing yourself

  • so justin timberlake teaches sit ups now? ftw

  • 20 sit ups a day won't get you a six pack at all. You have to increase the amount you do as the muscles in your stomach get stronger. And just sit ups won't get you a six pack, you have to do cardio to burn the fat off of your stomach

    

  • What is he saying?

  • @bobbob12g What is "loose" weight?

  • If I do 20 sit-ups each day, how long will it take me to get a six pack?

  • @weedyak Yes but not entirely, when you are not exercising, just take your ipod and walk/jog for an hour.

  • I don't see you say anything in the video about loosing fat by doing sit-ups, but it's in the description. You also burn can burn fat by lying in bed and clicking the television remote. Don't advertise the fact that sit ups burn body fat, because the fact is it's probably the least efficient way to burn fat, and that is not the goal of the sit-up. Also,i would think you would demonstrate in your video how to effectively and safely do a situp rather than just sitting on a mat and discussing them.

  • @Thomisco7 Actually, since everyone has abs, a slim body is enough to see them. But, if you build the muscle, you can see it more easily at a higher level of body fat.

  • @DerrickSilk That is admirable work. Whether or not you will become slim or be able to view your rectus abdominis depends on your diet. Bicycling will increase your energy consumption. Combined with calorie restriction it can get you there. D+E combination often works better.
