Nah nah! Am pretty fit and quite lean now, the stomach is pretty much flat but I just want a bit of definition!

The Abb Ripper X workout from P90X. I know the infomercial is cheesy, but you can't argue with the results. The entire set of work outs are right on the money. If you follow the diet along with the workouts you can't go wrong. Shed pound like nobody's business and really get in shape. I have done the 90 days three different times and better shape in my 40s than in my 20s. I can't bring myself to give up the beer so I never get the 6-pack beyond what I buy at the store, but twice now have had to buy new clothes. My stomach has never been flatter.

There seems to be loads of DVDs for different muscle groups I just need help with my abs. Do you use all the dvd's or just the ones specifically for the groups you want to train?

Part of this is genetics. Some people will never get a 6 pack regardless of how hard they work. You may or may not be one of those people. In fact most healthy/ fit people can't maintain a 6 pack over extended periods; they move within an acceptable range of body fat %.

Another issue can be age; after 25 getting that lean becomes harder and harder.

The final issue is spot reduction. Most people these days suggest it's a myth. You can't target any one part of your body for fat loss (and really that's what's covering up those abs). All you can do is lose fat overall. Getting your overall body fat % down to the level where your lower abs become visible is your goal. Some people suggest there are secrets for that (varying protein/ carb intake etc). In the end i think it comes down to calories in being less than calories burned over an extended period of time. I used to be a professional cyclist (not very successfully and around 20 yrs or so ago now!) but i always had a 6 pack even tho i never did sit ups. I just rode 1000km a week.
