How to Have Abs (for women)
1.Try the "bicycle" workout. This can help you get abs fast. Lie on your back, (with your back flat on the floor), lift your legs up, and move them as if you are peddling a bicycle. Put your hands behind your head, and every time you move one of your legs toward your face, touch it with your elbow. For example, when your left leg comes toward you, touch it with your right elbow.
Do crunches. Crunches are another great way to get abs quickly and effectively, and there are tons of variations on crunches. Basic crunches require you to lie down on a matted floor, with your back flat to the ground and your knees bent at a 60 degree angle. With your hands near your temples, or crossed on your chest, lift your shoulder blades off the ground a small bit and feel the "crunch" in your abs. Exhale and go back down to the ground. Repeat.
Do the plank exercise. The plank exercise is one of the most reliable, deceptively simple ways to give great definition to your abs. All you need is a flat surface, a little bit of time, and some serious gumption as you feel the burn.
Lift your weight. Take two chairs of equal height, and rest your forearms on them, then pick your legs up off the floor in an up and down position. But be careful that you don't slip or fall.
Do leg raises. Another great ab-builder is leg raises. You'll be able to feel how effective this exercise is as soon as you get into starting position.
Do cardio as much as possible. Set aside at least one day a week to run a mile. Playing games like tag and hide and go seek outside can even burn calories. Taking your dog for a run is also a convenient way to run, and make sure you drink plenty of water!
Work out your abs for about 30 minutes, 3 days a week, at first. Work up to exercises all 5 days of the week. Eventually, when it gets easier, do ab workouts twice each day, 5 days a week.
Watch what you eat! Eat plenty of protein to build those ab muscles. Avoid sugar all together and reduce your caloric intake.
Eat small portions of food in regular intervals. Shoot to eat about 5-7 times a day, just with really small portions. For a snack, go for a banana and some walnuts, or a small bit of caprese salad. Your biggest meal of the day should be lunch.
Drink plenty of water. A suitable allowance of water for adults is 2.5 liters daily in most instances but most of this quantity is contained in prepared foods. Drinking water also prevents you from drinking other alternatives which contain calories while still keeping you hydrated. Contrary to popular belief you don't need 8 glasses of water a day [1]
