Totally Ab-sessed: Your favorite six pack workouts

 

Check these out, too...

When we asked GL readers to spill their favorite gut-busters, the response was overwhelming. You girls love to torch those tummies—here are your best-ever moves for getting a six-pack in no time flat.

 

 

Perfect Pikes

“Lie face-up with raised legs until perpendicular to floor, feet flexed and hands lightly behind head. Lower right leg so it hovers one or two inches off floor. In this position, do 15 crunches, lifting chest toward ceiling and lowering back to start. Switch legs and repeat.” – Taira N., 13

 

Get Pumped!

“I listen to one of my favorite upbeat songs while I lay on the ground and do about 10 crunches. After about 10, I switch to side crunches. It makes me feel good about myself, and, knowing that, I do more!” – Taylor N., 14

 

Roll With It

“My favorite is so much fun, you won’t even realize it’s an ab workout. Sit with your knees up and your arms around them. Next you gently fall back, the roll yourself back up! Do about 20 a day.” – Kaitlyn G., 15

 

Do the Hula

“My BFF and I discovered Super Hula Hoop for our Wii Fit. One night, we decided to have a competition with a couple friends. All the girls said it was really fun—and they totally got a workout. It’s a blast to play with friends, family or just beat your own score.” – Emily P., 14

I have a really oily forehead. It's covered in acne, and the shine is terrible. I want a way to hide it more this year, and I was wondering what is something I could do during school to hide it throughout the day? Have you tried the Clean and clear absorbing sheets? I hear they are good, but start acne. What do you recommend? Cleaning my face during the day isn't an option because we have 3 minute break periods. And we aren't allowed in the bathroom during lunch.

 

Hey girlie!

Any type of absorbing or oil blotting sheets would def be helpful for your situation. To cover up the acne, try a tinted moisturizer (so you don't have to use foundation at school) and lightly blend it. To cover up the oil, you could always use a light powder to eliminate the shine, and then have a pack of Clean & Clear oil blotting sheets in your backpack for those oily moments. Also, if you don't eat as many greasy/fried foods, that can reduce sweat and even oil!

I need help! I want to suprise my friends with a bikini body but I want to do it before summer's over so I can show it off at the beach so I need help fast! Please Help they will be so proud and I will finally feel confident in a bikini but I can't do sit ups or push ups Frown So I need help Now!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hey girl!

The best thing to do is start eating healthy. Cut out all fried foods, and try to rely more on things you'd find at the farm. Processed foods are tasty sometimes but they're not the best for you...try fresh fruits, veggies, meat, and dairy. Get a well balanced meal, eat frequent small meals, and don't snack on junk food! Exercise is also important...if you don't want to do sit ups and push ups, try going on a jog or brisk walk. If you're dedicated you can totally do it!

Mod?
I was watching this Womens' channel where this lady helps you with your body with a work out partner, so, the lady did sit ups, going up the stairs very fast and stop for a while at the top of the stairs and switch legs while going down with the switched leg. My friend actually did that since she wanted some abs, but it only made her skinner from healthy! Frown Well, now she's trying to gain weight while burning calories on her dad's treadmill, she's always active but she gained 5 pounds every month for the past 2 and a half month! She got right back to where she was and I asked her to try this so she will start doing this... I hope it helps but before why did she lose weight and become skinnier?? Dx That confuses me the most!




Hey girlie,

Every body reacts differently to working out, so her body probably was burning calories/fat faster than it was toning up the muscles. Cardio especially is a fat burning exercise - and that's what she was doing. The crunches are great, but the stairs will really help you slim down if that's what you want to do. Since she didn't want that though, she could focus more on core exercises to target her belly muscles and help get definition there!

so i have a lil mole on my collarbone and its just kinda flat like a dark freckle, and today i scratched it i guess, and then it started bleeding a little! it sorta stings. should i be worried?
also im goin to soccer camp next week and i havent reallly been working out a lot until this week. any tips? and any must have things i should pack?
thanks a million Smile Smile




Hey girlie,

No need to worry - just put some Neosporin on it so the cut heals well, and try not to touch it/pick at it while it's still open. It's easy to snag those little moles/beauty marks, so don't stress. Just make sure you're taking care of the cut so it doesn't get infected and you'll be fine! As for soccer camp, remember that everyone there is going so they can learn more. You might feel tired or out of shape at first, but stick with it and work up your endurance. You'll be fine once you've been there for a couple days! Not sure what you should pack since I've never been to a soccer camp myself - do you have any older friends or a coach that you could ask? If not, I'd stick to undies, pads/tampons, athletic clothes, and socks. Don't forget deodorant! Smile
