Do those really work, though?

I've tried a few of the more popular devices, but you can achieve the same results just by doing crunches.
Crunches, and more crunches.

i tired that ab machine thing i gave up after a day. lol...it worked on my friend though. i used to do 100 crunches a night and it started working...then i got lazy and stopped.....

Yeah, old fashion crunches and sit ups are the most effective thing, but I doubt you'll get the results you want in just a week or two. It takes time and repetition. You have to do more than just fifty a day everyday. If you're just starting doing them prepared to be sore. OUCH-painful stuff!

yah i know, my friend has one and i was fooling around at the christmas party and started using it...lol, but it my other friend has one and she said that it worked

I have tried crunshes and sit ups but they didnt work, One of my friends told me that if your back isnt in the right postion they wont wrok. Do you have to diet to make them work?

Strong abs won't make the fat go away. For that you need to - guess what - eat right and exercise aerobically. But having strong abs will contribute to your general health and make exercising an overall better experience. My daughter is a dancer and I'm a runner, both of which require strong abs, so I learned some methods for achieving that. Rather than doing crunches, do this similar, but better exercise. Slowly do a crunch only instead of doing more and more reps hold the crunch position for ten seconds, slowly return to the floor then repeat. Do that ten times Then rest, then repeat the ten reps two more times. That's after you build up to being able to do that. These are much more effective than customary crunches. Add a knees pulled SLOWLY to chest exercise (Knees bent - feet on floor - bring knees to chest return SLOWLY to floor.) I do 40 of those and that seems to be enough. Vary your amount and build over time. None of this will do any good if not sustained on a regular basis, as I believe Ks said. It's important to learn and use proper form for these and all exercises. It would be best to find a good book on the subject because It'd be difficult to explain proper form in this post and I wouldn't know if you got it right anyway. Good luck.

I bought a Yoga Abs video...lol

are you serious?

I am incredibly greatful cos I am one of these lucky people who can eat and drink whatever they want and not put on weight.
Though, to be honest, I think people are a bit too obsessed with they way they look. I mean, why is everyone obsessed with their appearance? I know that if I was seriously interested in a person I wouldn't care if they were a couple of pounds overweight.
I have also noticed that the people most concerned about their appearance are the people who look perfect anyway. I was at school with this girl called Emily and she was so beautiful! Have you ever seen Katie Holmes in that movie 'Disturbing Behaviour'? Well, Emily looked just like that - but she was so insecure about her appearance. You could tell her she was beautiful all day and she just wouldn't believe you.
Anyway, I do actually have a point here. I guess you should just accept what you're given. If God or whoever saw fit to make you a bit podgy then I guess you just have to get used to it! ;)

Yeah. Had her since 6th grade. 3 times a week for an hour or two. And then I got to the gym whenever else I want.......

As a matter of fact I'm heading off to the gym @ 3:30....... an hour and a 1/2 workout.... *sighs* LET'S GO CAITLIN!

If we do any new ab workouts w/o the machines I'll tell ya!
