all you gotta do it lose the fat. continue with your strength training(sit ups , crunches etc) but at the same time aim for more cardio. this way the fat that covers the muscle will be burnt off. pills should never be an option.
Never take pills. Limit your calorie intake and use proper exercise technique. Diet is essential to a six pack.
Pills wont give you any abs…..
You need to look into core strengthening workouts and losing a few lbs.
Good luck!
Getting a nice set of abs is such a misunderstood process. It’s actually a lot easier than most people think which is why most people are in a never ending quest to get that perfect six pack – it’s because they’re doing all the wrong things.
When you eat more calories than you burn, your body takes those extra calories and stores them as fat somewhere on your body. For some people, the #1 fat storage area is around the thighs and for others it might be around the stomach – it differs from person to person. Sometimes the fat is perfectly distributed around the body so it’s not as big of a concern.
If an excessive amount of fat is stored around your stomach, the reason that you’re not seeing your abs is because your body fat percentage is too high. What you need to do is create a calorie deficit (take in less calories than you burn) so that your body is forced to use its fat stores for energy. After a few weeks of doing this, you’ll notice that your abs will start to show.
You first step is to figure out how many calories you burn each day. Use this calculator http://calorieneedscalculator.com for an estimate. Now you need to increase the amount of calories you burn by exercising more and decreasing the amount of calories you eat. Cut out junk food such as fast food, candy and sugar. Eat foods that are high in fiber: bread and pasta made from 100% whole wheat, brown rice, oats, fruits and vegetables.
You shouldn’t ignore targeting your abs with sit ups, leg raises and twists but doing hundreds of sit ups won’t do anything about the layer of fat that is covering them. Cardio and calorie restriction should be your main focus. If you need more details on getting a six pack, visit The Straight Health Forums – http://forums.straighthealth.com
Don’t use any pills…Because there is no safe/healthy quick solution to getting your abs into shape. The best way to get rid of ab flab is by incorporating the following into your lifestyle:
1.) Cardio activity at least 30 minutes a day. Good forms of cardio are power walking, jogging, kickboxing, bike riding, swimming, aerobics, stair climbing, and various sports. Here’s a great cardio workout that you can do at home:

2.) Eating a low-fat, high fiber diet. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins…See here for dietary tips:

3.) Strength training exercises that sculpt the entire body, not just the abs. The more muscles you work out…the more body fat you will burn off…Which in the end will help blast off the extra fat that you’re carrying around. To get noticeable abs, you have to have a body fat percentage of about 10%. See here for a good total body workout:

4.) Stress reduction techniques. The stress hormone called cortisol, is often times responsible for belly flab that won’t go away…Try meditation, Yoga, listening to soft music—constructive ways to try to soothe your nerves. See this site for tips on managing stress:
