With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I think I stopped doing them when I did my back in, and I never got round to starting them again. I am struggling to think of a good reason to start doing them again, as someone who doesn't intend to ever get so cut as to show my abs. Any suggestions? Also, until today, I haven't had PWO shake for months (although I am sipping on one as I type) Sorry.

Definitely not enough to maintain my muscles, and I've barely been eating at all. Except for chocolate.. lots of chocolate, oh, and while I've practically stopped drinking alcohol, I've started smoking more cigarettes. Funny things stress will do to you.. But back to you (by the way, hello again it's been a long time) and reasons to do abs: Strength.. keeping your core strong prevents injury to the rest of your body, your, ahem.. back especially! Remember, it's not about LOOKING good it's about FEELING good and being HEALTHY :dumbbell::):dumbbell: :laugh:

Confront your abs, as dani said it's central to practically everythin in your posture and if you don't throw yourself into it, ease in by doing the less strenuous leg raises and hanging leg raises. Get back up & whats with the smokes?
