That being said, if you want the abs to show through that thin NORMAL layer of fat, you want to build them up a little.
While the exercises you are doing are great for toning, they do not build the size of your abs. What has worked for me is doing crunches with weights on my ankles and a weight plate on my chest. For starters you can use a heavy book and hold it on your chest with your arms crossed over it. Use a weight heavy enough so you can only do 8 to 10 reps. do this for 3 sets twice one day ( morning and evening ) then rest them the next day. The rest day is necessary because Exercising doesn't build the muscle, it tears them down. What builds the muscle is the repairs that the body makes while resting.
This will build your outer abs. Another exercise you will want to do is called Vacuums. You get on your hands and knees push all the air out of your lungs and suck your stomach in like your trying to touch your belly button to your spine. What this does is build the muscles on then Inside and creates great definition. Arnold Schwartzenegger used this religiously to create amazing definition in his abs.
lorawhat answered Saturday March 11 2006, 5:22 pm: on top of all those crunches add some running into the routine. the crunches will build muscle but running will get rid of any fat there so the 6pack will show. it can take a few weeks to a few months, it all depends on your body and how well you eat.
