Question:
What are some healthy foods?
I am a 12 year old boy, 5"1" About 140 pounds trying to get skinny, and then get a 6 pac. What are the best foods to eat? What are the foods I shouldn't eat? Do i have to lose my fat layer before I work on my 6 pac? If so how can I lose it? Will the "AB Lounge" really get me a 6 pac? how often should I use it? How many times should I do a crunch on the AB Lounge?
