Weight / Fat loss

smallfurry I have got the eating right (see the book I recommended) I just don't know how much ab work to do. I am thinking 400 - 500 reps every day together with planks (going on what we do at the boxing club) but having never done it I dunno if that is too much, too little, or just right?

Its a shite excuse. But I have a busy job, and small kids to look after. I obsessively crow bar in cycling, running, weights etc. To the point where if I'm showering I do 35 press-ups while the water warms. But my eating is very irratic.

If you want glory abs, use some weights. But if its strength you're after then repetition is more important. I tend to set up 2 lower back exercises, and 2 stomache exercises ( I have a swiss ball at home). Then alternate through reps of 15 or 20, untill I feel sick. Which is usually around the 300 mark. I could'nmt do that everyday though. Yuk.

For quick results take up distance running in the evenings, and dont eat untill breakfast. Thats probably a fast track to diabeties though.
