      not forget a not very defined chest.

      and if not wrong crunches is not very effective? I'm doing planks everyday for 8 sets of 20secs with 10secs rest between and I can already feel and see some shape coming out.

      I think I should start doing planks also... Had been too lazy to do for a very long time...

      yes this is very true, if you try to flex your tummy muscles, you will feel that it's very hard but your fats all covering it

      Must cut down on your diet first. Less fats, less excess calories. I dont do much abs exercise but still can see my packs. Why? because little fats there. Btw i see it distinctly esp. when i shit.
