Hope it helps!

To really get your abdominals to show, you must diet and include aerobic exercise in your routine. Exercise without maintaining a diet rich in protein to enhance muscle development, is like having a car without an engine; you get absolutely nowhere.
Concentrate on overall fitness and maintaining a healthy heart.
Nothing beats healthy eating.
Eat a combination of lean protein and healthy carbohydrates every few hours throughout the day to speed up fat loss and maintain stable energy levels. For best results, eat six times a day. Weight train intensely, three times per week on alternating days with aerobic exercise three times per week.

Eat your
Protein from (lean chicken, fish, egg-whites and beans)
Carbs from fruits and vegetables
Drink 10 to 20 glasses water per day NO SODA
Start lifting weights do not worry about bulking up concentrate on total body strength with emphasis on core strength.


Do 15 to 20 minutes each day of ab exercises like crunches to develop that 6pack

Well first of all I'm assuming you're a girl because your avatar is, and I've got some sad news: girls naturally have more fat at their waist than males. Therefore, in order to get a six-pack you have to work so hard that it's bad for your body. I'm not saying it can't be done, but it's hard on your body. So you're goal should be to get a trim and toned waist. Also do pushups, that works your abs too. Make sure you work all your abdominal muscles- upper and lower obliques and lower back. Go to these links for some exercises:

* http://www.runnersworld.com/video/index....
* http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,71...
The two from runnersworld.com are just a couple of the many they have. If you go to runnersworld.com and search abdominal workouts, it comes up with a whole page!

Eating healthy will help too. Avoid junk foods (pop, candy, cookies, desserts, potatoe chips, etc). Eat lots of fruit and veggies and drink lots of water. Make sure you eat breakfast, because it helps you burn calories during the day. And only eat when you're hungry, and if you have to snack, eat something healthy like nuts, fruit/veggies, yogurt, etc.

Some sort of cardivascular activity is good for you too, like running, biking, rollerblading, or swimming.

Good luck!

just do lots of sit ups and crunches. and increase it more and more when you feel like your getting stronger. and jog.
