Basically i started up the diet/working out again since the beginning of the year and i want a 6 pack by summer.. I had a 4 pack last year, and got it by doing like 250-350 crunches before bed every night for a few months, but i couldn't get the bottom part of the abs to show..

Now, know this.. I'm lazy as hell, so i don't want like 10 different exercises or recommended machines to use or any of that crap.. I just want to know if anyone has any workouts that they feel helped them accomplish what i want to..

I'm at the gym at the least every other day, and have an elliptical in my basement that i run on every day.. I've also been easing myself into a diet..

So i guess what i'm asking would be a lazy man's routine for what you guys do for cardio (how far you're going/how fast you do it) and any other routines/methods you feel you should include..

Again, I know we have an Ask the Trainer part but i just want some basic ideas that worked for people..

CC's for quality replies.
250-300 sit ups ?? there is no need for that many, i got a six pack from mostly doing cardio. Running, boxing, swimming, and also having a good diet. And remember you can't lose fat from your stomach doing crunches. You could do 1 million crunches and you would still never lose fat from your stomach, you cannot lose fat in one specific area. And also the reason you aren't seeing any results on your lower abs is because you can't be doing enough variety of exercises for certain parts on your abs. Land down flat and raise your legs 12 inches off the ground and then lower them slowly to where your feet are almost touching the ground and repeat. Thats just one example of how to work your lower abs check up on the interest for more lower ab workouts.

Bicycle crunches are 250 percent more effective than normal crunches i suggest you also do them. And also get yourself a stability ball that works wonders for your abs. But let me just tell you this, getting a six pack is more to do with healthy eating and cardio the old saying is that six pack is made in the kitchen and not the gym just keep that in mind, and when you do crunches look for quality not quantity.
