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 are referring to frosty adult beverages...the liquor store. If you want soft drinks... any c-store or supermarket.\nIf you would like lean, cut, strong abdominal muscles...The six-pack is most easily achieved through hard physical excercise. The best, if your back can handle it, is situps or crunches. If you do situps you may need to add some wieght as you grow stronger. Just hold a dumbell or plate you can handle while you do your excercises. Crunches work exceptionally well if you vary the compression and duration of the excercise.  It will not hurt to try some fat buning excercises as well. The lower your percentage body fat, the more "cut" you will appear. Be cautious to not burn too much fat as the body then begins to use up the muscle, not to mention the loss of strength and the fatigue that would ensue.One of the greatest physical specimens of all time....Herschel Walker once stated he never "lifted weights". Situps, pushups and sprints are all that are neccessary to maintain peak physical form.

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.

nope, I'm still as tight as i ever was. Pelvic muscles are just like anyother - work them hard and they get stronger and tighter (who said excercise sucked :) )

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

to see a six pack its more about losing fat and excess weight...80% food and 20% exercise for the abs buddy...\n\neven if you lose it quickly unless you exercise it will just come back...do the Atkins induction for a couple of weeks then get into the south beach diet for a while....but really, exercise every day ..... you really want muscle?  Work out everyday giving 48 hours for your muscle group to heal.  One day do benches and curls etc etc..the next leg work and a walk...etc...take 100% whey protein and take creatine..you will gain about 3-10 pounds in muscle and lost about the same in fat...then it wil balance out...

Save your money. There is no device that will give you "six pack abs". The only way to get them is to reduce your body fat. Everyone has them, but most people have too much layers of fat to have them show. If you really want to spend your money, buy a fitness ball. They do an excellent job of strengthening your core. Much more than any device you see on TV will.

Speaking from experience, a lot!  However, if you have a 6 pack and not much else to speak of, it's far less impressive.  One thing that guys just DON'T get, is that we like to see a guy with some tight thigh muscles.  Every girl I've ever said that to agreed with me. Squats give great thighs!  Oh, and don't think sit-ups will do the ab deal. They mostly overwork the hip flexor muscles and don't hit the abs very well at all.  Doing traditional ab work on a blow-up ball works them much harder.

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.

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.

its not how many you do but which excercise you do.  You can do one or two ofthese that I teach you and you might even be better off. once you work out of it, whats the point of doing 20-50 reps a day?  you will never get a 6 pack off of them if you beeen doing them for a while and dont see anything.  nearly everybody in the karate class i was in had a 6 pack and there was good reason why.  alot of those body builders who train on their own never get a 6 pack.  nor the people who hire personal trainers.  The idea is doing what works.  this is not in any books so you dont have to waste your time.  This is what I did for my 8 pack.  You lay flat on the floor on your stomach.  prop your feet up in push up position.  Then you put your hands way out.  Put them together so that they are touching.  Now, try to do a push up.  Some people couldnt even do one, but the next day they couldnt wake up.  Imagine doing about 40 or 50 of these.  To be honest, you dont need to do 40 or 50.  You can do about 15 to 25 and get a 6 pack.  If you get used to it, it takes like 2 minutes to do about 15 to 25 of these pushups.  You will be headed on your way to a 6 pack if you are still lean.  This is kung fu excercise and karate excersize.  so, take your time to do them right if you have to.  remember to keep your back straight.

The lower abdomen fat pack has nothing to do with your lower abs being in bad shape. Even the best abs will be covered by bodyfat. Increase your cardio while keeping your diet the same, if the bodyfat bothers you.\n\nIf your upper abs are in good shape, likely your lower abs are, too (although you can't see them). It's pretty hard to train upper vs. lower, no matter what you read, because the abdominal muscles flexes as one vertical unit (although each side can be trained seperately).\n\nIf you want an ab excercise that is subtely harder on the lower abs, try sitting like an indian with your legs crossed, then lay down on your back and try crunches. It will help stretch out your lower abs while you crunch. Try it!\n\nGood luck!
