When intraining for abs firstly realise that you have to have a low fat percentage to be able to see the shap of your abs, a good percentage is 9 to 12% body fat.

Hi roxy, great to hear from you and its good to see that you're trying to find out as much as you can.
I have a question for you
Do you want to put on muscle or do you want to just tone up and lose fat
Protein shakes are good for you if you are wanting to build muscle, the thing that differs from shakes and solid foods is that the protein in the liquid shakes will get to your muscle fibre faster allowing greater response and repair, this will allow the new muscle fibre to grow at a faster rate.
The protein in solid foods acts as a block builder, the protein will slowly develop into the muscle fibre.
How many times are you exercising? what exercises are you doing? and what weights are you doing?
Protein is like most nutrients, if you arent exercising enough or using the Protein in your body it will not be used and smilarly turn to fat.
You have to have a balance of calories, carbs and Protein, these are what you call macronutrients.
Ab crunches are good but I like to use the woodchopper method, this is an exercise that focuses on your core muscles and because you are using a weight it will benefit you more, doing 10 crunches with a weight(use a weight that is suited to you and that you can manage without being injured) is the same as 100 crunches without a weight.
Go on to the cable pulley machine, there are 2 ways of doing this, move the cable up so that it is above your head then attach a D bar and practice a couple of times with a weight you are comfortable with,slowly pull the D bar outwards whilst turning your entire body, when turning tense your abs and move using your abs then do your reps, get about 10 out, 3 sets of 10. move the cable pulley down so that it is levelwith yopur abs and do the same movement, pulling out using your abs.
Can you reply by answering the questions above and also tell me about what diet you have
Keep up the exercising you'll be glad you did

I've read some of your comments left for others and I have to say I'm inspired.You seem to know what your talking about. I'm looking to lose 20 to 25lbs. I just bought the whey protein shakes and I started my first "diet" today. I'm very interested in hearing more about how to get started.How much/when should I drink the whey shake?Should I use the shake as a supplement to my already high protein diet or in addition to? Also,I understand I should be eating 5 or 6x's a day.Does that mean 2 or 3 of those "meals" should be the shake? Also is there any info you can give me on how much cardio I should do and how much ab crunches I should do weekly? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
