Does sit ups help in having a 6 pack?

You certainly don't need to do sit-ups or any other workout to get a 6-pack. Although I could see sit-ups helping a little. It's mostly about diet and getting rid of abdominal fat. Any muscle will become more pronounced by working it. But the abdominal muscles don't "pump up" like biceps and some other muscles. If you don't lose abdominal fat, no amount of working your ab muscles will give you a 6-pack, 4-pack or 2-pack.

There just isn't a lot of definition to abdominal muscles. They are flat. It doesn't take much fat to cover them up.

Sit ups or crunches or any other ab workout does work the muscles there

But for the abs to be visible, it depends on your body fat

If you have abs and you also have fat around the belly area the abs still won't be visible

Thus you will have to bring down your body fat percent low enough for it to be visible.. which depends on your diet

They can put the muscle there, diet gets rid of the fat
