Reply from Rachael, Age 14 - 04/17/05 - IP#: 207.231.98.xxx Situps stregthen and tone your abs...but even if you have a six pack, they won't show up if they are covered with a layer of fat. You have to lose weight first and then your abs start to show. I don't see why you shouldn't do them now, though. The more muscle you build, the faster your metabolism gets. Did you know that for each pound of muscle you gain, you burn an EXTRA 40 calories a day? Not too much, but imagine if through strength training and such, you lost fat and replaced it with 10 pounds of muscle--you would burn an extra 400 cals a day! Just goes to show you what a litttle stregth training can do. Maybe try 5 pound weights, too.
