There is no quick way. If you workout regularily, you still have to lose body fat or you wont see your abs. The best exercises for abs, imo, are crunches. They are very effective and give results. But you need to do aerobic exercises to lose body fat so your abs are actually visible. Also don't overdue it. Work out your abs 3 times a week AT MOST and NOT consecutive days. Over working your muscles gives negative results.

Exactly. Start eating a low fat diet...like less than 30 grams a day. Also, cardio...interval trainning is best for fat loss

Thats actually wrong, you can get a six pack in just 3 months. Easy as that. (assuming your not excessively over weight)

Ive been working out all my life and this video is excellent for beginners.

This guy knows his stuff, he gives really good tips and workouts and doesn't just focus on one core group. Its great for people starting off and is only 3 times a week.

Abs are made in the kitchen. You can do 500 crunches / sit-ups everyday for the rest of your life and never see the abs you've built up doing them. Like the others have said it's all about having low enough body fat for your particular body. So research and come up with a good meal plan, add in some cardio and weight lifting. It will take time also, they're no such thing as fast abs so good luck.

I guess we have different notions of what "quick" is. 3 months in my books is not "quick" :P

Go on an ab diet then start doing pilates. Crunches are not the best way, Pilates is!

If you run a lot it is but to see good results you would have to run about 5 days a week.

I'm super skinny but lost my abs due to binge drinking... I need to get my abs back, thanks for the tips. I was thinking about buying a bike to go night-riding, but I'll try crunches at home.

Several quesions about interval training: 1. it helps you lose FAT (so yes you wil lose your fat weight) 2. You keep the muscle. -I weigh in at 210...muscle (not fat) -this is what I do to keep that and stay in shape, I do not want to lift to get big and lose it running. 3. What is it: -You do not run at a long contiinuous pace (like a marathon runner) = do not just run for 30 min. at 1 pace -You run in short bursts (like a sprinter) = run in intervals of very fast sprints, mixed with a slow cool down/even walk in between So you could run at your max for 2 minutes (1 minute for novice) then walk for 2 min.

Sounds good to me since I'm good at sprinting. Since I'm novice (I'd be doing 1 minute) how many intervals should I do? This is for someone who hasn't ran for a long time.

Go to the link for professional advice. But My advice is to start with 5 intervals. Novice = 30 seconds to 1 minute of sprinting followed by 2/3 min cool down (keep walking, do not stop moving though) Then gradually increase your intervals to like 2 min with a 1 to 2 min cool down Work on incresaing duration, speed, and if you have a treadmill, increasing the incline

I love runing and more than that definatley sprinting, I'm going to give it a serious try and ignore the wierd looks and see how it goes, I really need to get some fat off !. Thanks again :) .

This. The hard part about getting a six pack is the strict diet.

that's totall BS. it's all about your commitment and workout routine. Go take a look at what Michael Phelps eats every day - then look at his form - then eat your words and return ;)

that's the point... it doesn't have to have anything at all to do with your diet. in fact, with higher caloric intake and higher calorie burn you're building muscle mass and losing body fat at a much higher rate...

Sorry bud but IT DOES HAVE A LOT TO DO WITH DIET. Phelps takes in a ton of calories and burns a ton But you have to pay attention to WHAT HE EATS...not fatty food...not McDonalds He eats a ton of protein and carbs (carbs to burn) not a lot of fat. Lesson: IF (a big if) you are working out and trying to put on mass, you need to eat more than you burn BUT you want protein (lean turkey 97% fat free, tuna, chicken, etc.) NOT FAT BOTH diet and exercise are important. Anyone who says otherwise is either a liar, a fool, or both Also, do not compare yourself to an ELITE SUPER ATHLETE...genetics plays a huge part as well. -can a super athlete eat more crap than a regular person and still maintain their "look"...probably

Well since you said you are skinny do what that other guy said and and do shorter runs, as long distance runs will leave you with little muscle. I think it burns off to many calories that your body needsto develope muscles not too sure on that though( happened to me). And good core exercises that i like to do are planks,leg raises, and your basic sit-ups/crunchs.

everyone has 12 pack abs, you just have to remove the layer of fat coverng them up, which is where exercise and diet comes in :]
