Your New Abs

okay im a boy and im 15 and i weigh 55Kg. I am thin and lack toned abs. I wish to know what can i do to get a nice 6 or even 8 pack WITHOUT DAMAGING MY BACK and also i want it to help improve posture as i slouch and my stomach sticks out (not fat) so don’t tell me sit ups PLEASE!!!. what exercises can i do to get them quickly? but none that are back for the back. I want to get them hopefully in about 2 months i know that’s fast but ill try to get it done. Please tell me some exercises and how many reps to do on each of them (no back damaging stuff) Just note that i am already very thin and don’t want to loose weight but just get toned abs

Thanks

well i think you are going to need to bulk up first. try a high carb diet that consists of stuff like pastas, breads, rice and dried fruits like raisins. (dont confuse high carb with high saturated fat!). then there are exercises likeExercise Instructions

Ball Crunch
Lie with the ball resting under the mid/lower back and place hands behind the head or across the chest. Contract your abs to lift your the torso off the ball, pulling the bottom of your ribcage down toward your hips. As you curl up, keep the ball stable.

Crunch & Reach
Begin with body straight over the ball, light weight extended behind you (not shown). Contract the abs to lift and bring the weight over the head, crunching up and twisting to the right, contracting the right side of waist. Repeat for all reps and then switch sides.

Modified Plank
Begin by placing elbows on the floor and resting body on the knees. Pull the abs tight to hold your body in a straight line from head to knees without sagging in the middle, eyes looking naturally forward. Hold this position for as long as you can, relax and repeat 3 or more times.

Knee Tucks
Start in plank position on the ball, with the ball under the shins/ankles. Roll the ball towards you with your feet, tightening the abs into a crunch.

Woodchops
Attach one end of a resistance band to something sturdy and wrap the band around your hand a few times for the right tension. Grasp the band in both hands and begin in a lunge position, reaching down with the arms Keeping the arms straight the entire time, rotate and lift the body towards the other side while sweeping the arms on a diagonal. Return to start and repeat before moving onto the other side.

Hip Extension on the Ball
Lie on the floor with feet heels propped on ball. Keeping abs tight, slowly lift your hips off the floor (squeezing the buttocks) until body is in a straight line. Hold for a few seconds and lower

Ball Taps
Sit on the ball with strong abs and straight spine, hands behind the head. Contract your abs and lift the right foot, tapping it on a medicine ball in front of you. Lower and repeat with the other foot, alternating sides. Use your abs to keep your balance.
