How can I tone my tummy ?!
Question: Situps actually become more of a cardio workout after the first 100 or 200 than actually building the ab muscles.
To tone your tummy, you need to work the internal oblique muscles. These are the muscles behind the "six pack" muscle wall (look in an anatomy book, not a workout book, and you'll see what I mean).
These muscles are worked out and toned (not "built up") by dynamic twisting exercises - punching and kicking, for example, or dancing moves. AND, as always, pay attention to your DIET b/c your abs will NOT pop out on their own - ya gotts get that layer of fat off your stomach.
