Overall workout advice

Hello there. I need some advice on overall fitness. I'll start from the beginning...

I used to be quite overweight, 95 kilos and 177cm tall, about 5-6 months ago. I'm currently at 69-68 kilos and 180cm, and working for a six pack. My days go like this: One day fitness and home workout, the other only home workout. When I go to the gym, I usually consume about 600-800 kcal (dunno if it's enough...)
and after the gym, roughly the same after which I do 1000-1500 (at once, without stopping) crunches while lying down. Then I go to bed, and the other day, with no gym, I only do the crunches, but make sure I make it to at least 1500. The problem is, I limit my eating to how much I work out, meaning I eat twice a day max... everyone says that's where I go wrong, but I make up for it by eating a lot before workout.

So, any tips to how I can improve my workout, or criticize me for doing stupid stuff? :rolleyes:
 
Nice job with losing the weight. Now your goal is for a six pack, thats great.
But 1000-1500 crunches!?! What's the point in that? You are able to do the 1000+ crunches! Its time you moved on to harder core/ab exercises.
In my opinion, I would find out how much body fat you have. If its high I would work on reducing it to around 10-14%, whilst working your core/ab's with much harder exercises.
There are several ways to find your body fat percentage. More acurate tests are done with specific equpiment such as hydrostatic weights. Skinfold tests with callipers may give you approximate values but are easily done.
I suggest you google, research and read on harder exercises, especially core exercises such as plank's, static holds, etc.

Good luck.
 
this is a great place to come for adivce man hopefully you find out what u need, and gj on loosing weight
 
1000 crunches? those be some nice hip flexors you have there, as they are doing 99% of the work.

stop doing ab work. It won't get you a 6 pack. Moving limbs in multiple planes of motion at once, and transferring force or momentum from the legs to the upper body and vice versa, will stimulate much more growth in your mid section than 15 billion crunches will.

Once you have some muscle underneath the fat, then you gotta go on a calorie deficit to burn off that layer of fat that is hiding your 6pack. Check out the stickies in the weight lifting and nutrition sections for more precise info.
