Abs.. routine.. P-funk or anyone?
What would be a good routine to "flatten" (not build) abdominal muscles and create more of a waist line.
And how often should I do it?
Thanks

crunches, leg raises, reverse crunches, sit ups, decline sit ups. if ou are worried about getting blocky then don't do weighted ab work.

Really quick, can you describe "reverse crunches?" Also what do you guys think of "scissors" and "bicycles"? I don't know if these are the standard names for them or just what our high school gym teacher called them.

Reverse crunches are a hard lower abs exercise.
Here's how to perform the reverse crunch correctly
1. Lie on a mat with your legs up while also keeping your knees slightly bent for an easier reference you should look like a capitol letter L.
2. Place your arms on the floor both at your sides.
3. Keep your head on the mat and begin to tighten your AB muscles. Keep in mind not to involve any upper body movement or rocking side to side.
4. Now lift your butt off the floor,so your legs go up and slightly towards your head.
5. Hold this position for a second and slowly return to the starting position, then repeat.
Also, bicycles kick butt. I love doing them. CP
