Voting Question: Female six pack question?

Hi, I'm a super active female (will detail exercise and diet below) and am after tips on how to improve my abdominal muscles. I currently exercise for a few hours each day, doing between 45 mins and 2 hours cardio (sometimes in two separate sessions), with a load of walking (either brisk walking, walking the dog or incidental walking) and strength training daily (changes daily and never do same muscles on consecutive days) - I do a range of floor exercises, core stability exercises and balancing ones using a bosu and a fitball, I also use a lot of weights and do pilates and boxing classes. My daily diet is as follows (varies a bit but this is the average - and the amount is usually around the same): - 1 sachet porridge/oats with 1 scoop vanilla protein powder and 1/2 chopped banana with some berries (all up around 1100kj) - An apple (or if post work out a protein drink or bar - usually around 600kj) - A salad with salmon and a few nuts with an apple (or a salmon and salad sandwich on really dark grainy bread) - A protein bar or mix of protein powder with 1/2milk 1/2water or an apple - Salad with chicken or salmon or occassionally red meat, sometimes a good carb like a few squares of sweet potato or 1/2cup brown rice. - An apple Drink - water all day 164cm tall, 58kg, 21 years old. Thanks in advance! Thanks so much for the answers so far!!!!! Keep 'em coming guys! All helping - additional details - i'm actually a distance runner - used to do marathons, but now triathlon or half marathon, and some shorter distances like 10km. Body fat% is around 16%. The motivation thing...I am naturally an incredibly motivated and active person - I love to keep busy and really have a passion for being active and running...but when I have those hard days I remind myself that feeling healthy and fit is incredibly worth it! Also - if you struggle with exercise, pick activities you enjoy - do a few classes, reaward yourself for reaching goals by buying a good health magazine or a massage or a nice fitness accessory. Also - write a bunch of 'exercise cards' with sample daily workouts on them (and a reward at the bottom, eg. 'read a book for half an hour' or 'grab a movie' or 'call a friend') and pick one out each day and do it! Good luck losing the weight you put back on. If you did it once you can do it again. As you lose the weight, make healthy and permanent lifestyle changes that make sure you can maintain your new body! Also don't deprive yourself of anything or you'll go backwards later - eat healthy but enjoyable food!

Resolved Question: Which Ab Machine is the best for overall Abdominal Work - Including Lower and Side Ab Work ?

Just wondering if, from experience, people have tried any machines that are really good and had positive results from ? I've been going to the gym for about 17 years and i'm well aware that diets play a vital role in abs. Just seeing what's out there and if there is something actually good on the market....so many things claim to be good but whether they are or not.......a bit bored of floor work and cable crunches and my new gym doesn't have a machine so was wanting to get something for home APART from a fitball.....thanks heaps guys : ) LOL....i actually did mention that i do know that you have to lose weight to have a 6 pack....i do actually HAVE a 6 pack...i just miss the Ab Machine at the gym (the weighted one) and the hanging leg raises for lower abs....as they seemed to really work and used to get a great workout without having to do 100's of reps. Is there anything else that compares.....?

Okay, I'm very skinny on the outside. But deep down, my stomach sticks out and I don't seem to have a hip shape at all! :( It's depressing! I can't wear tight shirts anymore which sucks.

Hold'Em Poker for Advanced Players (Advance Player)

Hold'Em Poker for Advanced Players (Advance Player) Texas Hold Â'em is not an easy game to play well. To become an expert you must balance many concepts, some of which occasionally contradict each other. In 1988, the first edition appeared. Many ideas, which were only known to a small, select group of players, were made available to anyone who was striving to become an expert, and the hold Â'em explosion had begun. It is now a new century, and the authors have again moved the state of the art forward by adding over 100 pages of new material, including extensive sections on "loose games," and "short-handed games." Anyone who studies this text, is well disciplined, and gets the proper experience should become a significant winner. Some of the other ideas discussed include play on the first two cards, semi-bluffing, the free card, inducing bluffs, staying with a draw, playing when a pair flops, playing trash hands, desperation bets, playing in wild games, reading hands, and psychology.

FitBall Exercise Ball Chair - with Choice of 55cm Ball

FitBall Exercise Ball Chair - with Choice of 55cm Ball This model comes with a 55cm ball. The benefits of sitting on an exercise ball while working are the same incorporating it in exercise routines; it promotes flexibility, coordination, motor skills, core strengthening, and balance. "Active sitting" means that your body, when positioned on top of an exercise ball, is constantly making small adjustments, often imperceptible, to remain balanced and thus is constantly exercising a large group of muscles in doing so. By strengthening your body's core muscle group you help improve your posture, have better balance and guard against back injuries. It takes some time before your body becomes accustom to sitting on an exercise ball, since your core muscles may not have gotten much exercise previously. Start by using it 10 to 15 minutes a day and gradually work your way up. If you have had back problems or injuries, make sure to consult your physician or therapist first. Pump sold separately

Misc.:  Comes with a 55cm ball, available in a choice of colors, Pump not included, Frame color is black with silver flakes. Cushion and wheels are black, Has a rolling base, Height and back rest adjust for a customized fit

Fitball Workout: The Easy Way To A Toned, Flexible Body

Fitball Workout: The Easy Way To A Toned, Flexible Body The Fitball is a large air-filled ball used for exercising at home or at the gym. It's fun to use, versatile, amazingly effective, and facilitates an enjoyable workout. Even people who are normally reluctant to exercise will become hooked on this comfortable way to achieve great results. In "The Fitball Workout" Jan Endacott shows readers how the Fitball can be used in an extraordinary range of exercises that are suitable for all levels of fitness. She explans how exercise intensity can be increased or decreased simply by adjusting the exercise position slightly. The ball can be used while lying or sitting on it, lying on the floor, standing, or even leaning on the ball against the wall. The cushioning support provided by the ball enables exercisers to perform exercise variations that they may not have been able to attempt due to discomfort or underlying weekness. The "Fitball Workout" assures readers that whatever their age or current level of fitness, using the ball can help them feel fit, healthy, poised and confident. Working with the ball allows exercisers to concentrate on every muscle group.

Small Stakes Hold 'em: Winning Big With Expert Play

Small Stakes Hold 'em: Winning Big With Expert Play For todayÂ's poker players, Texas hold Â'em is the game. Every day, tens of thousands of small stakes hold Â'em games are played all over the world in homes, card rooms, and on the Internet. These games can be very profitable — if you play well. But most people donÂ't play well and end up leaving their money on the table.

Small Stakes Hold Â'em: Winning Big with Expert Play explains everything you need to be a big winner. Unlike many other books about small stakes games, it teaches the aggressive and attacking style used by all professional players. However, it does not simply tell you to play aggressively; it shows you exactly how to make expert decisions through numerous clear and detailed examples.

Small Stakes Hold Â'em teaches you to think like a professional player. Topics include implied odds, pot equity, speculative hands, position, the importance of being suited, hand categories, counting outs, evaluating the flop, large pots versus small pots, protecting your hand, betting for value on the river, and playing overcards. In addition, after you learn the winning concepts, test your skills with over fifty hand quizzes that present you with common and critical hold Â'em decisions. Choose your action, then compare it to the authorsÂ' play and reasoning.

This text presents cutting-edge ideas in straightforward language. It is the most thorough and accurate discussion of small stakes hold Â'em available. Your opponents will read this book; make sure you do, too!

Isokinetics Balance Ball Chair - with Choice of 52cm Ball and a Pump

Isokinetics Balance Ball Chair - with Choice of 52cm Ball and a Pump Isokinetics Ball Chairs are the same chairs sold by others, only at a manufacturer direct price. No middleman means no need to pay more! And, we provide all of our chairs with a 1 year guarantee. As an additional bonus, we provide an exclusive exercise ball measuring tape that takes the guesswork out of inflating your ball. Sitting on an exercise ball while at home or work promotes flexibility, coordination, motor skills, core strengthening, and balance. Your body, when positioned on top of an exercise ball, is constantly making small adjustments, often imperceptible, to remain balanced and thus is constantly exercising a large group of muscles in doing so. By strengthening your body's core muscle group you help improve your posture, have better balance and guard against back injuries. It may take time before your body becomes accustom to sitting on an exercise ball, since your core muscles may not have gotten much exercise previously. Start by using it 10 to 15 minutes a day and gradually work your way up. If you have had back problems or injuries, make sure to consult your physician or therapist first. Note: We provide a small pump for free for you to have a way to inflate your ball. However, exercise balls require a lot of air and it will take a lot of pumping with the free pump. So, you may want to consider purchasing at this time a high volume air pump, especially if you use exercise balls a lot or have other things you often inflate, like pool toys or air mattresses.

Misc.:  Factory direct price: same manufacturer, same quality, same patented design as sold by others, Includes a 52cm ball, available in your choice of colors, and a pump, Bonus - Comes with an exclusive "no-guess" exercise ball tape measure for proper inflation, Rolling base with 4 wheels, 2 of which are lockable, 21"W x 31"H x 22"D, 300 lb limit, best fit for people 5' to 5'11" tall
