Totally Ab-sessed: Your favorite six pack workouts

 

Check these out, too...

  • Bella Thorne shows ya how to work it with WAAT-AAH!'s Move Your Body flash mob
  • 4 things that are killing your cardio workout
  • GL's Bikini Body Boot Camp is now in session!
  • Short shorts-approved moves for toned legs

When we asked GL readers to spill their favorite gut-busters, the response was overwhelming. You girls love to torch those tummies—here are your best-ever moves for getting a six-pack in no time flat.

 

 

Perfect Pikes

“Lie face-up with raised legs until perpendicular to floor, feet flexed and hands lightly behind head. Lower right leg so it hovers one or two inches off floor. In this position, do 15 crunches, lifting chest toward ceiling and lowering back to start. Switch legs and repeat.” – Taira N., 13

 

Get Pumped!

“I listen to one of my favorite upbeat songs while I lay on the ground and do about 10 crunches. After about 10, I switch to side crunches. It makes me feel good about myself, and, knowing that, I do more!” – Taylor N., 14

 

Roll With It

“My favorite is so much fun, you won’t even realize it’s an ab workout. Sit with your knees up and your arms around them. Next you gently fall back, the roll yourself back up! Do about 20 a day.” – Kaitlyn G., 15

 

Do the Hula

“My BFF and I discovered Super Hula Hoop for our Wii Fit. One night, we decided to have a competition with a couple friends. All the girls said it was really fun—and they totally got a workout. It’s a blast to play with friends, family or just beat your own score.” – Emily P., 14

I started working out, focusing on my legs, tying to get them toned. But I just gained muscle and now my legs are way bigger than before. I run a mile everyday with a small incline on my tread mill. Is that why? How do I get them slim again? Thank you

 

Hey girlie,

You built muscle down there and made your legs strong, so that's why! Try to swap out half your cardio each week with an activity to help your muscles get long and lean. Pilates is PERF for that! Smile

I am working on getting a little more fit. I am not pretty skinny but I have very little muscle. When I wear skinny near I get a fat hanging out the top of my jeans, it looks really gross and I've tried buying bigger sized jeans but the problem wasn't fixed, is there anything else I could try?




Hey girl--

Drink more water and avoid salty food to banish bloat that may be causing the issue. We can't control where we store our fat but why not trying the workout on this post to tone up a bit?




good luck!

i wanna lose some weight before i start school.i need some help with the belly area.i do crunches but they dont seem to work.i play basketball so im active but i never really see a difference.plzz help

 

Hey girlie! Crunches only tone, they don't actually burn fat.  The only way to burn fat is to get your heart rate up with some cardio.  Try going for a run or something else that gets your breathing hard and sweating.  There's also no way to target WHERE you'll lose weight, so your belly might not be the first place to lose weight when you work out.  xoxo
