I've been working on a 6 pack for about 3 weeks now using a mix of different types of crunches and situps, plus additional workout on an ab machine. I'm also cutting down the fat intake.
So far, I can see some progress and I'm confident that as long as I maintain the discipline of following the routine every day, I'll get somewhere.
However, here's my main concern: I'm a business executive and am kind of a workaholic I spend 10-12 hrs/day sitting in my office during the weekdays, and another 4-6 hrs/day in my home office during the weekends. Nothing can help you develop a big belly better than sitting down all day. Sometimes when I work at my home office for 6 continous hours, with my shirt off, when I stand off I can see a very defined line accross my mid-torso. Everytime I can't help but feel that there must be something I can do to minimize the negative effect of my sitting down all day.
Here's my question: is there a specific time when I should do my ab workout so I get the most of it, and so the workout is not minimized by my sitting down all day? Should I do my workout right before I go to bed so my ab muscles relax while I'm laying flat on my bed? Or should I divide my workout to 2-3 times a day, and interrupt the continous sitting down time? Should I wear an ab-belt or something to the office?
By the way, I'm 26, 5'7", about 160 lbs and a 32 1/2 waist. I don't have a noticeable belly nor anything, but it is about an inch and a half wider than a year ago, which is why I decided to start going for a six pack.
Also, I've considered using one of those electric shock ab workout things to use in my free time (ie while reading, watching tv, etc.). Do they help or are they a waste of time?
Disclaimer: I'm a complete dummy when it comes to working out, so if I said anything stupid above, please correct me. Thanks.
