Toning my stomach

[chantalyee]

[FONT=&quot]Hello- i have been working out 4-5 times a week. During these workouts i will do typically 1 hour of cardio. I have dabbled in the "ab crunch" machine and the "ab twist" machine. I will do 3 reps of 10.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I feel like this will not give me a more toned stomach..i'm not doing enough...i know my abs are still hiding under some fat but...i'm hoping once i lose more weight (12 pounds) i'll be able to not have the toned stomach?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]

[FONT=&quot]I know i'll never get to the point of a 6 pack- but i'd just like a toned stomach- nothing to crazy![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]

[FONT=&quot]Help- someone tell me what workouts to do! is there anything i can do with just situps/crunches?[/FONT]

yes you need to lose total body fat to be able to see your abs

you can crunch all day and night and it won't make a difference

Toned and defined stomachs come when you're lean....not from exercise. Work on losing more bodyfat. The crunches and sb exercises arent going to help you there

Ditch the ab machines! Ditch all machines and do compound movements requiring you to use you’re entire body while engaging the core, and diet! Look into a fast or juice cleanse that usually helps jumpstart healthier eating habits

The reps are too low for ab work - 20 at least

Forget the ab machines. They aren't great for you since they are on forced paths, but also they will never give you visible abs. Only your diet can accomplish this.

Make sure diet is on point. Working out with a crap diet will be garbage.

Abs are made in the kitchen. You could do 1000 ab crunches a day for years but you won't be able to see them if they are covered with fat.
