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.

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.)

Start with 20 crunches lifting your legs at a 90 degree angle for your lower stomach. Lift your legs above the ground and keep them there while you do crunches for the upper portion of your abs. Do side cruches for a slimmer waist. And finally cross one leg over the other and do crunches connecting your left elbow to your right knee. crunch first then connect elbow to knee. Continue to add crunches the more you get use to it. HAVE FUN! :)

For a six-pack you have to vary about 5-7 different kinds of ab workouts. Also do about 300 a day. That will definitely get you fast results.

I dont know if 6 packs abs are a kind of ab excersice.. \n\nbut if you have a six pack, means that you excercise enough so that the is no fat around your ab muscles.. which means there is not a lot of fat anywhere else.. \n\nfat gets burned whenever you are excercising .. it doesnt really matter where it is stored

Unless your body fat percentage is in the 6-8% range (assuming you are male) you will not be able to get your abs to show without dieting.  A six-pack is made in the kitchen, not the gym.

mix it up with situps and crunches.  When you go up hold yourself in the half way up position then go all the way up then hold in the halfway down position then all the way down.  Give yourself time to feel the burn when holding in the halfway positions.\nDo about 20 to 30 minutes of this everyday.  Also do not rest in the down position.  This will give you nice abs quickly.\nFor faster results do this in the morning as soon as you wakeup then again before going to sleep.\nBe sure to stretch your abs EVERY time you do this. before and after.\nGood luck!

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!

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.

There's a couple of levels to this; for your "front" abs, crunches and sit ups are a good base, but it's really important to also do exercises that isolate your "oblique" abs.  There the muscles on either side of your six-pack.  A crunch-twist will work your obliques, and a side crunch works well also.  A crunch-twist is exactly that; do a standard crunch, then twist to one side, squeezing your rib cage towards your hip bone.  A side crunch is a crunch from your side.  Lay on your side with your hands behind your head, and lift your torso straight up towards your hip.  Also bicycles are great too.  on your back, both legs in the air at a 90 degree angle, and lower one leg towards the floor.  With your hands behind your head, lift the same elbow towards the other knee.  Then do the other side.  The works your lower abs as well.  but my favorite abs exercise are planks.  From your stomach, lift your arms straight up like you have done a single push-up.  Hold that position with your body perfectly straight.  This is a great abs workout, and ot also works out your shoulders and arms.

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

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 best way I would suggest to work on your six pack would be to run. Running believe it or not will tighten your stomach and your lower back. Which also needs to be strenghtened. Check out the website I have included below. It will show you some great exercises for abs as well.

Crunches work great.\nHowever, all the crunches in the world will not REVEAL a six pack if it is hidden under fat. \nEat right & do cardio (running is the most effective thing).
