Your abs won't show very well if there is still a layer. 
of fat covering them. This post will tell you ways to get a Six Pack.


Building Muscle


     Leg Raises

Lie on the floor with legs straight out and your hands at your sides. Lift your legs straight until they're almost at a 90 degree angle. DO NOT bend your knees. Lower your legs without letting your legs touch the floor. 

Reverse Crunches

Lie on the floor on your back. Place your arms behind your head with your feet up and your thighs perpendicular to the floor. Using your lower abs, bring your knees to your chest while simultaneously tucking your chin to your chest. Return slowly to the starting position and repeat.

Planks 

Get into a push-up position. With your weight on your forearms and toes, place your elbows on the floor under your shoulders. Make a straight line from your head to your heels, then hold this position for 20 seconds while breathing gently.

Crunches 

Lie on the floor with your arms lightly touching your temples. Bend your knees. Raise your upper torso towards your knees. The initial flexing of your abs as you lift your shoulders off the floor is very important. Remember to exhale as you lift yourself off the ground. As soon as you begin lifting off the floor exhale through your mouth. Next lower yourself down slowly until your shoulder blades touch the ground. Do not let your head touch the ground.

 Lose Fat


Cardio
Cardiovascular exercises are an essential step to getting those toned abs. It is impossible to target where fat loss takes place. You need to lose that layer of fat covering abs. You can have large ab muscles, however, if there is fat covering them you won't be able to see them. Cardio (short for cardiovascular exercise) is any exercise that boosts your heart rate for an extended amount of time. Examples include running, jogging, cycling, dancing and rowing.


Don't Skip Breakfast
 Lots of weight watchers skip breakfast due to lack of time. This may seem like a good thing because you're eating less but skipping breakfast can harm weight loss plans. Skipping breakfast often makes people have a bigger lunch. Huge lunches can cause laziness and inactivity. Breakfast cereals are a great breakfast option. The preparation time is short and nowadays most of them are healthy. Nutri-Grain bars are rich in fibre. Breakfast is commonly recognised as the most important meal of the day. Therefore, it should be the largest. Dinner should be the smallest.


Weightlifting
The more muscle you have, the more calories your body burns, even during rest. You need to lift weights to ensure that the amount of muscle mass lost whilst reducing calories is at a minimal. Doing only Cardio without any resistance training may compromise your goals.  You may lose muscle mass and this can include abdominal muscles.


Drink A lot of Water
On average a human needs to drink   2 litres of water a day. However this amount may vary depending your weight. For example a 160lb person would have to drink about 2.3 litres of water. To calculate the amount of water required you must have your weight in lbs. This will generate the minimum amount of water you need in ounces. Certain foods you eat (or drink) may contain a bit a water you need in your system.
