It really depends on your starting point.\n\nAnd to correct an old myth that never seems to die, sit ups DO NOT GIVE YOU GOOD abs!!!\n\nSitups strengthen your abdominal wall, HOWEVER, if you have a layer of fat covering your abs, you'll never be able to see that six-pack, no matter how strong your abdominal muscles are. Think of heavyweight weightlifters and powerlifters. They're freaky strong, but they have a big gut.\n\nIf you want those abs, focus on your diet.

Problem is that you won't see a six pack unless there is actually one there, no matter how much fat you burn.\n\nIs your stomach flat, but no muscle? Sorry to say, but that means your have to do crunches (be sure to include other ab work, so you are toning all of your abs -- try pilates - works great!)\n\nA LOT of people are just built to carry around a little extra weight in their belly; again, crunches/ab work, along with losing general body, will help you to tone up your stomach.\n\nYour didn't say if you were overweght or not, but please bear in mind, even the skinnest people tend to have their "problem areas." Eat healthy, exercise (cardio and muscle traning), will allow you to have a "nice", (not perfect) figure.\n\n(It is nearly impossiable to get that "hard core" defination you see on TV -- if you want that, you should invest in some personal trainer sessions, and plan to spend long hours daily working toward that goal.)

If you're able to do 125 crunches, you're likely doing them half-azz and with very poor form.  Crunch properly with the force directly horizontally and exhaling at the top of the movement, and you'll never exceed 30-40 crunches.  You don't want your ab exercises to turn into an aerobic exercise prescription.  Try and keep crunches down to 1 minute to emphasize the appropriate energy system and build the abdominals as you would any other muscle group.  You'll be far more impressed with the thickness and look you will obtain from your six-pack.

Honey, the only way you will achieve a six pack in 1 month is to draw it there. Results take time but are worth it. Good luck.

hi im a personal trainer.\nthe best exercises would be by doing exercises concentrating on the abs.such as sit ups, it will no take you long to do about 50 st ups each day. if these begin to get boring or too easy try ab crunches. another really good exercise is the reverse plank, (can be hard to hod for long time). or you could try when you lie on a flat surface on your back ars by your side, lift your feet 5-10 inches above the floor hold for 15 seconds and repeat 10 tims (twice daily). this will only take you about 5 minutes out of a 24 hour day! definately worth it.\n\nhttp://exercise.about.com/od/abs/ss/abexercises_10.htm (it might help)\n\nGood luck.

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.

if you're not toned, it's not gonna happen in less than a month, you have to start doing cardio excercises regularly, then start doing crunches and ab excercises (http://www.timbomb.net/ab/exercises.html  has some)\ngood luck!

hang from a parallel bar \nand pull up your knees up to chest hight\ndo reps of 10 \nslow burning reps are best\nand regular paced intervals\nto change it up you can also\ntry pulling it your legs up to your sides\nor just one leg at a time\nto get the obliques\n\nthe left and right abdominal muscles are just single long muscles not 6 little ones as most people think \n(as in 6 pack)\nso any ab workout will do the the whole muscle\n\n\nto get "6 pack abs" visible the only real way is to\nlessen the fat overtop of the muscle so it will appear\ntherefore  \n\n"abs are made in the kitchen"\n\nreduce fat intake and eat healthy\nand you will see your stomach muscles

Diet is a large amount of what you are.\n\nIf you want 6 pack abs - focus on your caloric intake and carbs and protein\n\nFor each meal, choose 1 carb and 1 protein.\n\nTo cut down fat, you need to burn off more calories than you consume.  A good target (for me at least) is no more than 1000 calories a day ~300 calories a meal.\n\nIt took me about a month - but I started seeing the 6 pack by then.\n\nDo 3 sets of 15 crunches daily.  Also, look at doing swimming if you can for about 1/2 hour or jogging for 30 minutes.

First of all, you don't really need to do many ab specific exercises. You can do all the crunches, sit-ups, leg raises, and knee-ups you want. In the end it doesn't mean anything unless you shed the layer of fat covering your abs so that you can see them. This can be accomplished by doing cardiovascular exercises like, running, rowing, cycling, etc. You want to maintain a moderate pace for 30 minutes, at least or an intense pace for 5 minutes or a minute at a time for about 10 seperate sets. Of course you can do ab exercises to make the abdomen more pronounced in shape (use the above exercises). In addition, your diet must be clean. When I say clean I mean, no excess fats (no McDonald's, buddy!) and no excess calories of any kind. In order to shed the weight you have to burn more calories than you consume. This creates a calorie defecit. The cardio allows you to use your stored energy sources (fat) when you do cardio. I suggest doing 2 intense ab work-outs a week, and 3 seperate cardio work-outs a week. For abs, use crunces, sit-ups, leg raises, and sit-ups. Do 2 sets of each exercise until failure (when can no longer contract the muscles). To save time you may use weight to cut down on the number of repetitions; use a weight plate atop of your chest for crunches and sit-ups or between your feet for leg raises, for added resistance. Do not train your abs again until they have fully recovered (are no longer sore). Eat a ratio of 45%carbs/35%protein/20%fat. That's it. For the ab exercises, try to perform 15-20 reps with added weight. Don't add too much weight or your waist will broden and you'll decrease the v-taper of your upper body. You don't need a thickly muscled midsection. Just make it toned and defined by sticking to high, intense, reps. Good luck!

To get a six pack you need to decrease your body fat to less than 8% approx. Doing sit ups will build your abs, but if you don't decrease your body fat you will never see the results of doing the ab work. You need to have a pretty strict diet and a rigorous exercise regime to have a fully fledged six-pack. You abs need to be worked every other day unlike most muscles in your body. The reps need to be very high, up to a 100-150 per set after you've been doing them a while. It's all about the cardio and your body fat levels though. Good luck mate.

Doing alot of cruches and ab exercises will help, however as a guy thats the first place that fat accumulates within the cells.  If you're looking for minor definition ab exercises and monitor your fat intake.  For a 6 pack, you'd have to eliminate fat from your diet almost completely.  You don't want to eliminate all fat, because your body uses fat for energy.  If there's no fat for energy, the next energy supply is muscle tissue.  Also, family history has a role in it as well.  You may a longer battle depending on your family history.

ALL SIT-UPS ARE GONNA DO IS STRENGTHEN YOUR ABDOMINAL MUSCLES...YOU PROBABLY WANT TO BURN OFF THE FAT THATS IN FRONT OF YOUR ABS, do that with interval training and circuit training... sorry, caps was on !...
