ok so it sounds like your getting bored of doing all the sit ups. mistake number 1: you have to enjoy your workout and think of the six pack as a consequence not an aim. sounds a bit like yoda talking but a good mentality is half the battle. now lets get into how to build a six pack and to do this you need to understand what your six pack muscles are there to do. they are support muscles for posture, and protect your abdominal organs. so you need to exercises that invlove working posture i.e. balance and exercises that work core strength muscles as a group rather then isolating just the abs, which will look better anyway! this means that you can do sit ups till you have turned every shade of pruple and blue that is possible, and your six pack will still be in hiding. one really good core strengthening exercise is leg raises. this is where you lie on your back and raise your legs and not your body. trust me it hurts. it also works the thighs. the other exercise is squats, again because your abs are postural muscles. also get an exercise ball, because these are great for working core strength. any exercsie you choose to do on one of them will be working your core. its no mystery that dancers and particualr break dancers have great abs so that would be my other bit of advice. take up an activity that works your core such as dancing, or even surfing. just google core strength exercises and you will find loads more you can do.
It takes A LOT of work and time to get those sexy abs you want. Keep working on it, you'te doing great! Hm, do you have a picture or something of your abs in that past. Compare them to your body now.
if you keep doing that then it will improve... but still everyday
