Hello, I don't want to be a boxer or a pro fighter of any kind although I'm a real fan. Anyway, I just noticed that I have been gaining a little from the midsection and I'm looking soft there. A year ago, or less, I was totally slim and was around 130 pounds(I'm 5' 7"). I just don't want to become one of those thin guys but with belly. I think that is awful. Any tips? I also would like to know of ways to raise metabolism and everything. Thanks.

You cant spot reduce fat. Exercise will increase your metabolismComment

I'm confused, which one is the crunch? Is it the one you do standing up and bending knees or is it similar to a situp? Also how helpful if, anything, is green tea? I read that it helps for fat burning.Comment

a pike is probably the hardest feeling ab workout i do. bicycles are pretty rewarding too once you can do them for several sets of at least 30 seconds (or 40 foot touches, that's about a minute).
a LOT of the better champs you'll find did 200-500 of a particular ab exercise everday, no matter what. fenech is an example, did 500 crunches throughout the day.Comment

ok, i may be wrong because i've always just done the typical sit-up type routine, but i think crunches are where you keep your arms paralell to the ground and go up about half-way really working on crunching your abs down, hence the name. a sit-up is with arms over your chest and you go past half-way almost to a full sitting up position (hence the name). i think they're basically the same but as we've learned about working out and **** we've figured out that it's not always best to go all the way up.
you can add resit to these exercises by doing them from a declined position, placing your feet at an inclined state (in a chair), adding weight to your chest, or, old school style, you can hang from a rod and work completely against gravity. although, if you're tall, i'm almost positive that that would eventually cause back problems..Comment

Does basketball help you? I know it's not an ab exercise but does it help with metabolism? Basketball is the only sport I really enjoy practicing. I could jog too.Comment

running and basketball CAN help. but you have to push your chest out/keep your arms high when your running, otherwise it can actually be reducing your muscle mass there.
hip pops are another good exercise.Comment
