    HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET ABS? (REALISTIC TIMELINE!) // Many people wonder how to get abs and the time to get abs is often underestimated.
    How long its going to take you to get visible abs depends on where you're starting from. You'll see a male body fat chart and a female body fat chart so that you can estimate your body fat percentage.
    Reducing your body fat percentage is the key to getting visible abs.
    If you're asking, "How long will it take me to get visible abs?" or "How long will it take me to get abs?" or "How long until I can see my abs?", you'll need to know your starting point and where you want to get to.
    Your place in the body fat chart men or body fat chart women is where we do the calculation from.
    You'll want to find out your lean body mass and then determine how many pounds of fat you need to lose.

    Ever since my dad died back in 2014 I gained A LOT of weight. Like 31-40ish body type is what I have now, I used to have a better body a few years ago, and now that it’s around march, I’m pretty young and think everyone at my age has their own personal dreams of a summer body. So thanks a lot of this video I’m definitely hitting the gym more often :)

    mindset what helped me to go down to 62kg from 75kg:
    dont stare at the numbers, dont compare yourself to others just find sport what you really enjoy and MOTIVATES YOU. If you like what you do more likely it will become habit! its goig to take around 30 days to build habit.
    It is lifestyle change not something what you do for 3months and quit. Building healthy habits is the key to stay fit. Also mindset about food:
    eat food like a medicine so you dont have to eat medicines like a food :D
    and for people who want to build muscle: calculate your daily calories and how much protein you get, too little you wont build muscle, too much also leads to health issues later on. Fix your sleep!
    your body is resting and getting stronger when you sleep.. but without the fuel, protein it wont work.
    great exercises for people to get stronger:
    - dead lifts
    - lunges ( can use weights to get more challenge )
    - planks
    - push ups
    - split squats
    - squats ( if you want more challenge do it with weights => squats with shoulder press )
    to be safe add more weights 0.5 - 1kg/month. Learn to do these with right form. Listen to your body when you add weights: work out should feel challenging but you never should feel strong pain.
    Small discomfort and sweat = good!
    Strong pain like something sting you = BAD, stop the workout and check your form

    Just want to throw in an anecdote. It's different for everyone! I can see the outline of my abs at 31.5% body fat. I just work out abs a lot.

    • @IvanaChapman
      @IvanaChapman  Рік тому +9

      That’s very unusual, even for a woman. But I do mention the genetic differences in abs thickness and fat distribution. “Outline of abs” is also different from seeing 6 sections…you would probably have that at a higher body fat level as well. Lucky you! 😁 Not sure how old you are, but it may change as you get older as well.

I have a body fat percentage of about 25. I don't even diet.

  • @cniht
    @cniht 11 місяців тому +21

    Biggest issue I've encountered is when you get to below 20% your body starts fighting you even while maintaining a full workout routine. I've been stuck on the last 10 pounds for 8 months, but at the same time I'm adding weight to my strength routine, so the body fat is roughly staying the same/slowly leaving while muscle is being added. But that's a real slow progression.

      Depending on age in particular, as she says, you just have to cut your intake. I'm >50, exercise hard (can do a human flag etc), but made no progress on abs visibility until I started intermittent fasting. Now seeing the impact on the abs... with is really just aesthetics. There's really no need to have visible abs, TBH. The fasting isn't for visibility, but to force me to stop eating as much sugar.

    • @HentyMe
      @HentyMe 7 місяців тому

      theres a pretty simple reason for this. Say when you started, your maintanence calories (calories you need to maintain your weight) was 2500 calories, since you’ve lost weight you now need less calories per day to maintain your bodyweight so the amount of food you ate in the beginning to lose weight is now your maintenance or you could even start gaining weight. So just cut your calories a little and increase cardio! hope this helped

  • @r.j.dunnill1465
    @r.j.dunnill1465 25 днів тому +1

    My successful abs regimen centers around a Victoria Johnson workout.
    At the beginning of the workout, Victoria states that 'To get a rock-hard stomach, you have to REALLY put some work into it, along with watching your diet and doing a little cardiovascular three to four times a week."
    This notion that abs are made in the kitchen is flat out wrong. Abs, like any muscle, have to be built up in order to pop out.

    Thanks so much for the video! I've often wondered how to determine how much to lose to get those abs showing. But what about just loosing BMI instead of weight in general? To gain muscle while losing fat. Would that even work? Would my fat go towards building muscle with a calorie deficit? (Btw thanks so much for the TVA help, my stomach is getting noticeably flatter every day. On a side note about that, it helps regulate your bowel movements as well) Love the baby Yoda.

    • @IvanaChapman
      @IvanaChapman  2 роки тому +4

      Glad you liked the video! What you're referring to is losing body fat (rather than BMI, which is just the body mass index - a relation of height to weight) or improving your body composition. And yes, most people can build muscle and lose fat at around the same time. The combination of strength training and eating at either a calorie deficit or even maintenance (for people who are close to their target weight) will help you achieve that.
      I talk about that idea in this video, and a few others: ua-cam.com/video/4m3aexxvKzY/v-deo.html

    Thanks for your knowledge and expertise. I agreed with every word you say. As well, everybody is unique. I am 62, and in the last 6 months I have lost approximately 30 (196-166). I can tell and see the difference from day one to today. Using your calculations, 166 x .2=33.2, 166-33.2=131.8 x1.15=152.72, 166-152.72=13.28 should be my goal. Correct? My whole issue is my sports life. I am training daily for triathlon. And with the deficit in daily calories, approximately 3500-4000 burned daily, it's a bit hard to keep up and burn more fat...I feel that besides my first 30 pounds of fat has been showing my sixpack better than when I was 18, I am not sure from where else, I can burn more fat. Now, one thing I have to face is weight workouts. I am increasing my time, weights and days to 3-4 days a week. Before just 1-2 days. What I have to watch is muscle mass...in triathlon, I feel I should not grow much, but on the other side, more weights, more lean, stronger, although I may weigh more?

    I'm 33kg and see faint lines across are those abs. Play b ball and walk a lot . My skinfold was 12% trying to bulk. Don't know if skinfold was wrong as another was 20. My weight is accurate unfortunately crosschecked. I'm 5 feet 1 and have to gain some muscle but wanna keep that definition and have them popping. I've a morning routine as well for 8 pack.

    What I wonder most about is how to get ab muscles as a female to begin with. I have understood that there is no direct way to train the abs via weight lifting. So its only grown by core training. But this seems impossible to me. I mean, I am suppose to train my core/abs (and low body fat) but how many years does it take?! I see insane abs in fitness models but that most have taken them several years to obtain right? Why does no one talk about this? My issue is:
    You can only get abs via core training but seems impossible to me? ( I have tried)
    And it takes time but how much time?

      It takes years to build muscle…you’ve got plenty of time! You probably have another 15 years until you reach your peak muscle building capacity. And yes, you can eat candy (or any other treat). It comes down to how much and how often you’re having it.

      Targeting belly fat isn’t something you can really accomplish.

    its possible to be very lean and no 6 pack, abs are also a muscle so if you dont train them they wont really show, how do i know? I was 102 pounds at 6 feet back in september, single digit bodyfat but no 6 pack, visable ribcage, sitting hurt sleeping in my bed hurt i was starving, no energu, basically shredded without the muscle kind of bodyfat. The fact i watech greg doucette's content saying "If you cant see abs, your fat" didnt help me and gave me body dysmorphia.

    • @IvanaChapman
      @IvanaChapman  3 місяці тому

      Sorry to hear about your experience. I talk about the fact that abs are a muscle that can be trained (to a certain extent) in other videos. Also, I emphasize that building muscle all over through weight training and appropriate nutrition tends to bring out the abs as well. There's a difference between being very skinny and being "shredded". The latter tends to require a good level of muscle.
