Doing a lot of abdominal exercises everyday won't do much if you've got a layer of fat covering it.  Everyone has a six-pack, but it's hidden (under the fat).  You have to do cardio to burn body fat.  Just doing crunches will only strengthen your abs, not expose them.

You can get a flat stomach by reducing fat by doing aerobic exercise and by changing your diet. Crunches and other ab exercises will only tone your stomach muscles, but they can't be seen if they are under a layer of fat.

My boyfriend has some good advice about this- and I think his advice about fitness is usually pretty accurate; he has quite a nice six pack himself. \nThe suggestion is to increase cardiovascular activity (life jumping jacks or stair-climber- something that gets your heart rate up) and do a lot of crunches the proper way, making sure you aren't using your hands/arms to strain your neck- you don't want to "lift" yourself, rather you have to make your stomach do ALL of the work.\nGood luck and let me know how it works out, if you'd be so kind- I'm kind of a wuss and relatively lazy when it comes to excersize. I haven't tried it yet- but I want to...

You have to burn the fat and then sculpt your mid section...\n\nTry doing crunches on a balance ball.  It makes you stablize your body and make you focus on your core muscles.  When you are crunching remember to put your arms behind your head and keep them apart as you crunch up.  You can reach to the opposite legs and work on your obliques.\n\nGood luck!!!  It really takes discipline to keep fit.  You will need more than a month to get a six pack.

You are gonna get a ton of ppl saying "do situps", but SIT UPS DONT BURN FAT!!! Only cardio does. So walk, run, jog, bike, swim, etc for at LEAST 30 minutes, 5x a week if not everyday. You cant spot target fat loss, it comes off gradually everywhere.

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.

Your correct, you can do all the exercises in the world, but unless your body-fat levels are low your six pack won't show!\n\nGet your body-fat levels measured.  You can buy handheld devices or scales that will do this for you, or most supermarket scales now check body-fat.\n\nWe are all different, but on average you need to get your body-fat down to about 10% for your six pack to show.  The models you see on the cover of fitness magazines will have around 5%.\n\nTo lose body-fat exercise regularly and start calorie counting. Work out your BMR and try to eat about 500 calories a day less than this.\n\nRunning is one of the best ways to lose weight, cycling, swimming, rowing are also very good. If your not comfortable with these try dancing to your favorite music in your bedroom for an hour a day.\n\nDon't try to lose weight it too quickly, 2 pounds a week maximum.\n\nBTW I only exercise my abs once a week for 10 minutes, but I have an excellent six pack because my body-fat is very low.

Stomach crunches (Don't do sit ups), there are many sites that give AB exercises, with pictures. The secret to good ABS is to burn body fat. (The muscles are covered in layers of fat, in all of us). \nYou'll need to take up something like jogging/running to burn off the fat. You need to Jog for at least 40 Min's then do your AB workout. Do this 4 times a week. \nCombined with a low fat diet you should see results in 2 weeks. \nGood luck.

it's not a fast process, but the most surefire way to get great abs is by crunches and sit-ups. simple and easy to do, but hell on the abs. also there is an exercise called the flutter kick, you lay on your back with your feet about 6-10 inches off the ground and start kicking your feet like you would be swimming on your back, don't let your feet touch the ground. good luck.

To show a 6 pack, you must not be fat.  Once you got rid of the fat through lots of cardio: 20 minute intervals or 40 min non-intervals 3-5 days/week, getting a 6 pack is easy, just do lots of side crunches: hands behind neck, left elbow to right knee, right elbow to left knee, and repeat for 1 minute, rest for 1 minute (stretch tummy/back with cat and camel), then do side crunches again.  Do this 3-5 days/week.  Remember, you have to get rid of the fat!

im not exactly sure if this will give you a flat stomach after having kids, but i do know its easy and it gave me six pack abs. you lie flat on the ground( make sure you have plenty of padding, like good thick carpet) put your hands behind your head like your gonna do krunchs but instead lift your off the ground keeping your legs strait and bring your upper body up until you make a 90 degree angle, make sure you rotate your upper body as you go up until your left elbow is pointing towards your right knee, then go back down but dont let your feet or shoulders touch the ground, then go back up and rotate to the other side. I know it sounds hard but unless your really really out of shape you can do these espeacilly if you start easy like 6 or eight reps then repeat 2-4 times with 30 seconds rest in between. Every other day should be fine. When this gets easy move it up 4, try to get up to 20 then you'll be looking really good. Make sure while your doing this to suck in your gut(even if you dont have one suck in your stomach) so you can shape your abs to look their best, otherwise your stomach will just look akward. I hope I could help.

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.

Cardio is the only way to burn fat around your mid section. You should go onto an elliptical machine, tredmill, or bike for about 30 minutes a day. Only do crunches after, or you could bulk up even more. Also, eat more protien, and less carbs. That will really help.

well you seem to know that drinking soda and eating fast food is not good for getting a six pack.  Running 3-5 times a week is the best way to burn stomach fat.  Doing situps and crunches just strengthens the muscles.  In order to start seeing a hard stomach you need to burn away the fat around it.  I suggest eating high protein low fat meals and if you still eat fast food try eating a salad instead of a burger or even a grilled chicken without mayo. It's all about choices and your dedication to your health. Good luck!

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).

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/
