Can you get a 6 pack from just doing sit-ups

No. To get a really defined abdomen you'll have to do more than a straight sit up to work all the muscles. Try adding leg lifts (with weights) and some twisting abdominal exercises.

Are you asking if you need 'equipment' to acheive it? Or are you actually wanting to do ONLY situps?

You don't need equipment, persay, but you do need more than situps alone.

You should do at least 15-20 minutes of medium to high intensity cardio. Whether running, some form of tae bo, something to get your fuel going, THEN, you'd want to do sit ups, planks (look up plank exercise on YouTube if necessary), Arm to leg cross overs, push ups, sit ups and obliques, then, if possible...10-15 more of cardio. It really makes the difference.

Do reps of whatever you can. It should hurt afterward, that's good. It means you're pushing your muscles to do real work. Increase your reps as your muscles get used to it or you won't be building anything new and only maintaining.

Youtube is great to find out how to PROPERLY execute the excercises so that you're getting the most out of them and not staying in your comfort zone. You shouldn't be straining your neck or back, or legs, but using your abs and core to pull yourself up.

Practice makes perfect! Good luck. (:

No.

Are you working those lower abs sufficiently? I can't tell you if sit ups alone will do it, since I run and lifted weights in addition to sit ups. I found that my abs looked their best with a combo of those, plus bicycle sit ups and planks.

no you need a healthy diet too. Consuming things like beer and bread give you a bloated stomach.

Nope because sit-ups tone but they don't build muscles. That's why girls do a lot of them rather than some other things because they aren't looking to bulk up they are looking to tone up. They are still really good to do though because the first key to getting a 6 pack would clearly be not to have any belly fat. So sit-ups along with a weight routine should serve your purpose.

You need to do plenty of cardio as well. Start running.

And watch what you eat.

Just sit ups won't get you a 6 pack.

I'm quite thin anyway, so naturally it'd show sooner, but I got a six pack from sit ups alone.
(Well, and trampolining, but mostly the sit ups)

I used to do 60 in a minute and then 20-30 crunches (which are similart to sit ups, but you lift your legs as well as your body so you end up balancing in a tuck shape with just your bum on the floor.. When you extend out, you shoulders hover just above the floor and your feet hover at about 10ins-1ft off the floor)

You want to hit different parts if your abs so try doing regular air ups then alternating ones where you stick one leg out and pull your body toward the other. Things like that to get all of your body

Yeah, that's how I go one a couple of years ago (was only doing 20 a day though).

Most likely but I think it helps if you go to the gym and use that machine where you do crunches but you're lifting weights with your back :) helped me get my belly toned :)

Sometimes its hard to achieve 6 pack by doing many things. But in some people its easy. My advice is go to the gym so that you well trained and do exercises in the safest way.

I find its easier to drive to the beer store...

Cardio is the most effective way to that 6 pack. And then keep up with the core exercises. How quickly? Most likely depends on the diet you are eating along with all of this...

It is good to start with a base exercise. Everyone has different genetics and you may not achieve a six pack. May be a 4 pack or a nice 8 pack if you're very genetically blessed. In general though people can achieve a six pack. Doing just do sit ups, vary your workout. Change it up every 2-3 weeks. Do workouts that target your upper and lower abs. even obliques. Over time you'll see results.. just change it up and hit different angles.

No, Flat out no. You need a low body fat percentage for a 6 pack. Also, doing that many sit-ups is detrimental to your cause. The abs are just like any other muscle in the body. They need rest.

At your age diet is the key and six pack will come easy

Not noticeably.

cardio cardio...we all have abs..its just that they are hidden underneath bodyfat

Lower boyfriend percentage through calorie deficit and cardio, and assorted ab workouts.

You get a 6 pack 90% from being skinny, and 10% from having muscular abdominals.

Sit-ups help, but it also helps to train your abs other ways so you use your entire midsection.

Bodyfat loss is the key to getting your abs visible...and situps don't cause enough caloric usage to do this because you're only using a small set of muscles.

Nope, as an amateur bobybuilder, I can tell you the only way to get your abs to show is to lose the fat covering them. Doing a hundred sit-ups a day isn't even going to make your abs bigger. The fastest way to burn off belly fat is to do a combinations of weight lifting and high intensity cardio. Try to lift 3-4 days a week and do 20 minutes of HIT cardio 3 times a week. Doing this and eating healthy(cut sugar and processed carbs) will make your abs show in no time.

you can do 1000 situps a day and have really developed abs, but if your bodyfat isn't 10% or lower, you will not see your abs

No. You need a proper diet, and high intensity aerobics or running. Not just sit ups.

no thatll only increase the strength of your abs. need to reduce your overall body fat, go for walks, jogs, swimming some kind of cardio

No. If your abs aren't showing you need to lose bodyfat. Cut out all junk food and do lots of cardio.

No. You'd probably have more luck doing extra cardio instead, to lose a bit more bodyfat (the lower abs are always the last to show). Or like Raigro says, you may just never be able to get a 6-pack (Arnie famously only ever really had a 4-pack, for example - link link ).

Maybe you have only 4 pack... so that means, you will never see 6 pack on you.

Maybe but it'll take a long time, if you can find a roman chair it makes it easier,
also do planks, go in the push up position on your elbows and hold your body completely strait, try to hold for at least a minute, longer if you can,
then try the same thing but on your side on one elbow,
try doing scissor sit ups by crossing over and touching your elbow to the opposite knee and alternating,
lay on your side flat on the ground then while keeping your legs on the ground and try to bend your body up with your shoulder towards the ceiling, go back down, repeat.
when you do sit ups grab a small weight and hold it above your head as you go up,
take a heavy weight like 45 pounds and hold it on either end, while sitting on the floor bring your feet up a few inches off the ground and upper body about half way off the ground then take the weight and try to touch it to either side of your body while keeping the rest of your body still.
Those will all speed it up, best of luck
