Question by Alexanderthegreat: (Fitness question) My abs suck, any suggestions of how to improve them?
I’m a devoted soccer player, and pretty tone. Except for my abs. Its rather aggravating to have upper body strength, and lower body strength, but to not have strong ab muscles to connect it.
What are the best ways to exercise your abs? Especially ways that result in a 6-pack

You can get Ab-Lounge, I heard that works. You can also do simple cruches, they work also. It might take a while, but you will get them eventually. I mean, it can’t take long for a toned soccor player to get a six-pack. You can also go to a gym and hire a personal trainer to help you get abs.
doing crunches on an incline like in this picture will give your abs a great workout.

also, if you choose to do these incline crunches or even just regular crunches, make sure you are doing them correctly or you won’t see the results you want. Here is some information on the proper form when doing crunches…
Sit-ups can strengthen your belly muscles, but doing them incorrectly can hurt your back. Sit-ups should be done while you lie on your back with your knees bent enough for the soles of your feet to touch the floor. Place both hands on your chest and slowly raise your head off the ground. Then, slowly raise your shoulders around one foot and then lower them to the ground. Do this slowly ten times, rest a few seconds and then do two more sets of ten. After a week or two, this exercise will feel easy, so do it with a light weight, wrapped in a towel, held behind your neck or on your chest. As you become stronger, you can use heavier weights.
There’s no need to do more than 30 sit-ups in one workout. To strengthen your belly muscles, you increase the resistance, not the number of repetitions. Keep your knees bent to protect your back. If you do a sit-up with your legs straight, you place a great force on the iliopsoas muscles that increase the arch in your back, which can damage the ligaments and joints. If your belly muscles are weak, you are likely to arch your back excessively when you sit up and increase the chances of injury. If you are doing sit-ups to flatten your stomach, you need to raise your head only about one foot because going higher than that uses the quadriceps muscles in the front of your upper legs, not your belly muscles.
