Do you guys believe sit ups are fake for six packs? Or do they work? So many myths out there! Which ones do you believe are fakes vs. real? I have a six pack and I did tons of situs so… you can't question the results! |

| You can get a garbage six pack by doing sit-ups, but if you want to get a really good one to planks with proper form. I could also tell you about a couple other ab workouts if you'd like |

Sure that'd be great, I still have to get in better shape for track and soccer this spring. You can never be too fit. |

What I do is I do a plank for 1:00, then I do this thing where you stay in plank position, but bring you left knee towards your right shoulder, bring it back to position, then bring your right leg to you left should. 25 of those on each side. Take a minute break, and do it again (Plank plus the knee thing). Take a minute break, and do one more set of these.
Also to get really fast, do sprints up hills. Believe me, nothing works better |

Thanks, you sound just like my track coach, he makes us run hills twice a week. I always hold plank for 3 minutes then again but on my elbows, then iso plank for 30 seconds. What you do is kid of like tobata (I think thats what its called) going hard for a short time, getting a short break and going hard again. |

| Lol I used to do planks for 2:30, but the 1:00 plus the 'knee slides', for lack of a better term, are more dynamic |

Yes, and at practice our coach makes us do 2 minutes of side planking, and raising your hips back and forth. Mountain climbers are similar to what your describing. |

Do you think going to the gym is a must if you want to get stronger, many people say that you do, but just as many say its doing pull ups, push ups, and planks while eating right at home… Which do you believe? |

True strength can only be acquired at the gym, though you can attain muscular endurance and decent strength at home. Personally, when I go to the gym I do bench press and shoulder press for strength, as well as pull-ups and tricep dips for endurance and 'secondary' strength. I don't do workouts for legs, because doing hill sprints, jump rope, agility ladder, and wall accelerations (Warm-up for sprints) gets the legs stronger and faster.
BTW mountain climbers are almost the same, except with what I'm describing you keep your elbows on the ground and go at a slower pace, focusing on form. |

I may be getting a bench press at my home , but I agree the gym is really the only place to get very strong. Do you think shoulder press/rowing machines are worth getting? There are lots of exercises that are similar that concentrate on different things, like form, strength, endurance, stamina, or just how muscular you look. Thanks for your help. |

| Rowing machine, no. If you do bench press and shoulder press (Just use the same bar), with some pull-ups/push-ups, that would be enough. Doesn't your school have a weight room to use, though? |
