Just to clarify, I did see the link to the abs sight, but I think those look gross, and I don't want to look like that. For one, I'd like to increase my vertical leap. Sometime soon I will do the old tape-on-the-wall deal to measure what I got now. I'm tall but it's no good if I can't jump, you know? What are some techniques to improve my vertical leap that I can do in my dorm room (every day) or at a basketball court (not as often)? I've heard "plyometrics" but I'm not very familiar with the word, and I don't know which ones to do. Also, I need some advice on an ab workout. I've been lazy and stopped exercising, but I'm starting again starting today! I do 20 regular crunches, 20 with right arm to left knee, 20 left to right, 20 reverse crunches (lay on back with feet extended, bring them to chest, extend, repeat), and 20 bicycles. I plan to add 1 to each station a day, so I'll increase in 5 a day until it gets too tough and I"ll back off a little bit. I have a six-pack (not bragging) but it's showing it's wear and tear, I just started college and they say freshmen gain 30 pounds and I have gained 15! I would like to know how to get rid of my "love handles." Is there an exercise that focuses on it? Or should I stick with my routine and change my diet? They say abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym This is what I typically eat each day: Breakfast: blueberry morning or total cereal with some orange juice/soy milk lunch: usually a cheeseburger with bacon (that's a big check-minus), grapes, strawberries if they're in the cafeteria, blueberry/strawberry yogurt dinner:sometimes about the same as lunch, if not spaghetti with marinara and orange juice, or lentil soup Throughout the day I will have soy milk or orange juice, yogurt, and occasionally candy (which I shouldn't) Thanks for your patience and help
