Yes. I have been doing home exercises because I just moved back to NY in the end of May and I will be in a different part of NY then I am now for all of July. So I am waiting to August to pick a specific gym to join, but I will have access to one in July as well.

Find the ab section in your gym. All the ab machines are usually grouped together. Try some out and see what's challenging/enjoyable. I personally like the ab coaster [with weights added on] and ab crunch machine [with weight]. Other than that I like to go inside the small weight room and do some planks/sit ups/grab and reach etc. Abs really aren't a muscle that you have to overwork. A 25-30 min ab workout twice/thrice [maybe] a week is enough.

Mess I know that that cardio =/= muscle. However one should still be doing a certain mount of cardio. I was simply asking what would be an "ideal" amount when trying to build muscle.

You gain muscle by eating foods high in protein such as grilled chicken, salmon, steak, etc, and lifting weights.

Probably 30 minutes like twice a week would be fine.

Well that depends. At your job are you mostly stationary/active/etc? I usually only do like 15 maybe 20 min every other day on eliptical/treadmill because my job is really physical.

Too much cardio is counterproductive when trying to gain muscle.
I do 8mins on the elliptical or the stairmaster everyday, right before lifting, just as a quick warm up.

Swimming is literally one of the best cardio exercises. Just doing laps it great.

I dedicate a day to cardio, and I maybe do 30 minutes. I hate doing it, though. Cardio is my worst work-outs; well the work-out I know that's coming that I wish wouldn't.

I like dead lifts. I mean, of course, they're hard as **** but that makes me feel accomplished.
