Best workouts for abs/chest? Options

[cnelson]

Alright, well heres the story; Since the end of novemeber, I have lost about 65 pounds. I went from 225, to 161 as of this morning. Yes i do eat in case someone asks that question. I have lost weight before but never to this extant. Now i would really like to start working on toning my body. Mostly my abs/chest muscles. I know doing sit ups and push ups is probably the best.

It needs to be something that i can do at home, i don't have time to get to a gym. Although i do have a weight lifting set with a bench and stuff, its not set up right now.

But if just continue to do, sits up and push ups. How many should i do, how much should i increase it, etc?

Right now, i'm doing about a 100 sit ups and a day and 20 push ups. I'm 18, and in decent shape. Don't know if that helps or not.

But thanks for any advice guys.

to be honest, 100 situps and 20 pushups is not enough. First of all you need to do different types of crunches. Leg raises, Bicycle kicks, side to side, etc. I usually do sets of 50 and do 4-5 routines. 20 pushups should be the amount you do for each set, I do these inbetween my crunch sets. I do my workouts every other day or every 3 days. It's better to let your body rest then to do it everyday but some will argue. I would also get a pull-up bar because those work your entire upper body, including abs. Gl and it's good to see the commitments there you just gotta change your workout.
