mnhsgrl follow the 12 week ab program because it does work. In order to reveal your 6 you are going to have to eat a very clean diet. Great abs are built in the kitchen. So lift heavy, do your ab program and eat clean.

Good luck!

Try Denise Austins, Hit the spot abs. A 10 minute, 3 session workout = 30minutes. You can really feel it the next day!

you need more protein than carbs when it comes to abs. Having great abs are due partly to genetics, so if you're not one of the gifted ones, it's gonna mean extra work. go onto the 12 week ab program and there are tips at the bottom for nutritional stuff that you need. i think a woman has to get down to 18% body fat to show abs. Goodluck! :)

jakesooner07: for guys it has to be lower, we ladies have a higher number because women do need fat in order for some of our hormones and bodily processes to function correctly, like menstrual periods and mood levels.

mnhsgirl: Yeah, and the ab workout does work, plus along with the workout routine that you do does make the abs show through. But sometimes, good ole genetics can be cruel in the abs department.
