Enjoyable video.
Are the ladies subscribing in droves with your abs?
What exercises should I be doing to get some abs defined?

defined abs is more about low body fat % and where your body fat tends to accumulate.

Oh. thanks for the info.  I need to fatten up my 13 year old then. Abs are showing.

Genetic tendencies play a role in children's body composition. Some are naturally quite lean and muscular. One of my sons was so lean - about 7% - that he couldn't be on the swim team in the winter because he'd turn blue and shiver during winter practices. He never developed a layer of subcutaneous fat like most swimmers do. He had a six-pack since childhood. At 35 today, he is still naturally lean. He is very active and athletic, so I won't say he gets his muscle definition without any effort, but his efforts are recreational only, not fitness-goal oriented.

Awesome, thank you for sharing your experience Eve. 
My first son is naturally lean.  And my 2nd son is naturally stockier.

We do need to get back to Sully's video discussion.
He's describing our raw paleo diet forum!

Oh, yes...

Sully, interesting video. I love the way you explain the variations of vegan-ness and paleo-ness. Very well thought out. Overall, you make a good peace ambassador.

I'm not at all torn by the vegan vs. paleo debate. As a former vegan, I admit I used to think that meat itself was toxic and immoral, and that mankind was not designed to kill, eat, or digest meat. Now I think that eating meat is exactly what my body needs in every cell. Regarding vegans, they probably thrive spiritually or nutritionally in ways that I didn't experience I'm not the judge of the details of anybody else's life.

Haha, always after the ladies GS.... I actually used to do crunches every day, leg lifts, you name it. A variety of stomach workouts. When I took out carb starches, grains potatoes etc. My abs immediately became more defined. As long as I kept training. I think nutritionally, I maintain the muscle better with no starches. I mean its less effort to maintain defined abs.

I would recommend from my experience. Pull ups 3 sets as many as you can do. And do that 3 days a week. Mon, wed, fri for example. See how that works. Everyones different. Pull ups really help my abdominals.

I would add;  to keep your hips bent 90 degrees so that you're in pike position or feet out straight in front of you.     also get two one gallon water jugs filled, and hold near top of head while doing sit-ups  along with weighted ankles bring legs and torso up in V position at same time.
