Whats the best excercise/diet to get those Abs everyone wants?
I’m really more concerned with the right excercises to do that are the most effective in building abs, but any diet tips would be appreciated too.
Despite what you think, ab exercises are NOT the number one thing you need to do for flat abs. In fact, getting flat abs requires hard work, commitment and something else you have no control over: cooperative genes.
The only way to get flat abs is to lose body fat and you already know what that requires:
1. Regular cardio exercise
2. Strength Training for the ENTIRE BODY (treating the abs just like any other muscle in the body)
3. A healthy, low-calorie diet
You must get all three of these (especially your diet) right on a consistent basis in order to even get close to flat abs. And, something else important: If you’ve lost body fat and you still don’t have flat abs, don’t be terribly surprised. Many of us will never see that six-pack because:
* The body fat level required to get flat abs is lower than you can sustain with your current lifestyle/schedule, or
* The body fat level required is lower than is healthy for your body to function.
So, even if you follow a perfect program and a perfect diet, flat abs still may elude you. Does that mean you should give up? You shouldn’t give up on exercise but, maybe, giving up the ideal of six-pack abs is exactly what you need to make your life better.
You are best off lowering your calorie intake and doing some extra cardio every day (biking, running) for at least 30 minutes. That will help you lose the body fat needed to start seeing your abs.

people with 6 pack abs are generally very lean and muscle bound, so will have to lose weight and gain muscle mass, a tough combo to achieve. I’d recommend squats because they will pull fat and skin away from your stomach and transform it into the largest muscles in your body, in your legs.
