Do an ab workout with sit ups, leg raises, crunches, air bike and plank 2-3 times each week. Also make sure to do cardio in order to lower your Body fat percent since BF% is one of the most important aspects when trying to get a six pack to show.
Do not be discouraged if you don't achieve a six pack as some people never can.

Planks- workout abs and your arms
Lying Knee raises-works abs mostly
Crunches
Hanging knee raises
Situps generally arent the best workout for your abs.. Not saying they dont work but they arent the best

What I'm going to do is get the p90x work out dvd thing. Hopefully for Christmas. I would already have it if I had a job. lol. Anyway I do also suggest what Sleepy Raisin said those are some good ones. There are also some good ones on youtube. youtube is honestly my source for a lot of things. haha. I need to start working out anyway! :D

Technically the top 3 are Air Bike, Captains Chair and Stability Ball Crunches are the best.
But when looking at what gives the best results to well known Bodybuilders and other athletes, they all tend to do Sit Ups so there is a lot of evidence to show benefit.
Doing sit ups on a Romanian chair or decline can also add a lot of resistance and potential gains to the exercise.

yeah you need to get a low bf% and that's the most important bit or no matter how hard or strong your abs are, they won't show.

Do some crunches everyday before you go to sleep
And run a lot (a mile or more every 2 days)

What are you talking about? Never do an exercise everyday, only things like stretches can be done each day. Doing them everyday will make your abs smaller and weaker.
At MAX do abs 3 times in a week. If you do want to do more then hop on some Steroids, but obviously that is not a good idea.

That's actually true, some people cant get one haha, I'm one. I do cross country, a bunch of people have a six pack just out of running.
But there are some of use who are just plain skinny and can never get one, like me. I mean I guess you can see a little bit of detail in that area but other than that I'm a nipple on a stick.

I suggest you for six pack you should take a balanced diet , you essentially go to your family doctor and set your food plane and will be better that go to your gym expert and ask him that what may you take now a days for getting six pack . thanks

I do these things with some weights.

Ya with that it just comes down to genetics as to if the abs will show or how they will look once developed. Also things like having a smaller waist tend to make it very difficult for someone to ever get a six-pack to really show through.

Ya weights add a LOT of difficulty on ab exercises. Remember that with abs it is better to do 50 reps of something than only 10 with weights. If you can still do a lot of reps with weighted then that is fine but reps are always better on endurance muscles like Abdominals and Upper/Lower legs.

So do I, but if someone ask why I don't have a six-pack body I just say "I love my packs so I hide it under my fat" lol
Seems like I need to do lots of training now
