"At your age you should see results quickly. Your diet is as important as the number of sets you do. Eat lean and try to do 15-20 minutes of abs 5 days a week. Be sure to work all parts of your abs. Check out some pilates too."\n\nYeah this person is correct with most of the information, however you may want to work on different muscle groups on different days, if you work on abs like crunches 24/7 your body wont have time to heal and build muscle, it takes 48 hours to build muscle so do ab workouts about every 2 days for about 20-25 minutes a day, and a cardio workout.\nHell if your going for abs you might as well go all the way and get your whole body fit.

push ups and crunches or curl ups. pull-ups help too. Lifting weights helps more with your arms than your abs depending on what you do and vice versa. And depending on your fat percentage you may want to do something to burn fat. But don't burn too much fat or you wont have much to turn into muscle. And one more thing, low weight and high rep keeps you from bulking up do the opposite if you want to bulk up.

Believe it or not you actually already have a 6 pack, its just losing the stuff that's hiding it. That will take some discipline, dieting and aerobics.

Just set yourself a goal for how many you can do in 2 minutes.  Do that three times a day, and very soon, you will have a six pack.  Since what you are doing is using your own weight, you can do it everyday without any problems.

Diet will play a bigger role in whether your have a '6-pack'. You'll need to get your body fat down to 10% or less for your abs to show. This is done by dieting, eating 5-6 small meals a day with enough protein, carbs, fat and working out.\n\nInstead of performing countless crunches, your abs will benefit more by performing exercises such as squats, deadlifts, chin-ups, and shoulder presses. All of these exercies will do more to strengthen your abs and give you the desired 6-pack.

Getting fix is 50% exercise, 50% nutrition. If you want a six pack, start watching what you eat, this will really speed up your progress. No junk food, Soda, or fast food. Drink alot of water, keep a water bottle near you all the time. Down around 2.5-4 leaters per day. No fruit juice either, WAYYY too much sugar, much healther to just eat the actual fruits. Try eating more white meat (Chicken, Fish) rather than red meat, pork, beef, lamb. And try having 5 small meals rather than 3 large ones. Eat alot for breakfast to boost your energy level during the day and ease up on dinner because your going to bed after, not burning those calories. As for increasing your Vert, start doing lots of leg exersices to strengthen the muscles in your legs like squats. Do some searching on the web for leg exercies, im sure you'll find alot. Just make sure when doing strength training, be very careful with the weights since your legs are such a big muscle, the weights get pretty heavy. As for your six pack, joggin 4 -5 times a week for 45-60 min should do it for you as well as ab exercises. \n\n-Good Luck!

You have to both reduce fat and build muscles. You can do crunches and other abdominal exercizes from now till the end of eternity and still not have a six-pack unless all the fat from your mid-section is gone. \n\nTo get a six-pack, do several types of abdominal exercizes daily: most gyms have several machines which isolate and work a specific set of muscles. \n\nTo make sure your tight abs show, reduce your body fat through diet and exercize: preferably a diet rich in proteins and complex carbohydrates but low in fats and simple carbohydrates, and at least 30 minutes of cardio workout 6 days a week, plus overall weight training to tone the rest of your body, at least 3 times a week.

Not to bring your hopes down, but if you don't have the genetics, you will not get the 6-pack abs, no matter how hard you try.  Now, I'm not saying forget it and live a life of a slob, but temper your expectations.  Eat healthy (low fat, moderate carbs), Do Cardio work regularly, change your workouts from time to time and you will have a healthy look and body.  Spot training doesn't work, so don't focus on your stomach so much, but in your body as a whole.

The key to 6-pack abs is to have a low percentage of bodyfat. Ab exercises in fact contribute very little to having a tight midsection. However, some ab work is great for overall fitness and back support and I don't want to downplay the importance of core strength. \n\nMany trainers look down on crunches these days, considering them not much more than an isometric exercise. Various types of leg and knee lifts are probably a better choice.

Well, i am a swimmer, and i would have to say, i have seen alot of guys get their six packs through it, its may be a bit tougher than only eating right and sit ups, but it is faster. For faster results you could do swimming(but make sure you are doing all the strokes and doing them properly) and do your 100 or how many ever sit ups you want and eating right. Maybe you would even get an 8 pack.

There is no exercise that will give you a six pack fast.\n\nFirst and foremost, stay away from any ab machine you see on TV as they are simply a waste of money and barely effective.  \n\nThe abdominal muscles work just like any other muscle and have to be challenged as such. If you want muscular abdominals, you have to challenge them with resistance and good form just like you would your chest, your back or any other muscle for that matter. Targeting the correct energy system is imperative. This means you should never enter into the aerobic phase of this exercise, ideally keeping it under 2 minutes at most. \n\nThink of rolling a carpet and contracting fully on the top of the movement and squeeze. If you do them correctly, you shouldn't be able to do more than 30 crunches. Any more than that, and you're probably doing them half-azz, incorrectly or with a partial range of motion.\n\nFor the upper abs, focus on crunches which effectively work the abdominals better than sit-ups or any machine on the market.\n\nFor the lower abs, keep in mind there is very little muscle tissue there so decreasing levels of body fat is the most effective way to bring out the best in this area. Hanging leg raises, v-situps and reverse curls are among some of the best exercise for this region. Always make sure your pelvis curls up to maximize lower abdominal contraction during these exercises.\n\nAs far as fat loss and getting ripped goes, cardio, cardio, cardio. Abdominal exercises alone will never burn fat from your abdominal area.  You must do cardiovascular exercise to accomplish this.  Cardio is best in the morning, on an empty stomach at about 70-80% of your maximum heart rate for about 30-45 minutes. This combined with a common sense diet will quickly shed body fat so you can actually see those abs you've developed. \n\nI would encourage you to seek the advice and guidance of a personal trainer in your area for further education on these principles. Please ensure you start off at a very basic level for crunches and cardio if you are a beginner.\n\nHere's a good list of ab exercises:\nhttp://preventdisease.com/fitness/Strength_Exercises_abdominals.html

Find a good exercise DVD or VHS tape and work out with it at least three times a week.  This can be fun and it really can help you get in shape.  (P.S. make sure your doctor says it's o.k. to exercise)!  I recommend a combination of aerobics and weight training.

You have to work on your six pack. Lay on your back, bend your knees and put your arms behind your neck. Try to get up. When you get up till your chest touches your knees, all your stomach muscels will be streched. If you just want to work on the six pack (that area below the breasts) don't get up all the way.

Increase you protein intake, and try varying your abdominal exercises. Crunches, depending on how you do them, have a limited effect. There are other abs exercises out there.\n\nBut I'm not completely an expert, so here, try this survey. It's called "Will you get a six pack?" Unfortunately, it doesn't say when. There is really no way of knowing for sure.\n\nhttp://www.menshealth.co.uk/tests/fitness/
