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!

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

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

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.
