You can diet and you will find the flab start to disappear, but you still won't see an improvement in your muscle structure. It may seem tough in the beginning, but once you get into a routine it will definitely become a lot easier.

Exercise to get a six pack abs - 5 ways:

Here are five different ways in which you can build muscles, which will build some muscle mass in the abdomen area. Make sure you mix it up otherwise you will find that it is going to become boring. You will also be exercising different parts of your abs so this is something to take into consideration as well.

*Crunches - 

 This is the most popular form of exercise that form strong abs. It is one of the more effective exercises. For this, you will have to get yourself a mat and lie on the floor. Your arms must be at your side. Now bend your knees. Slightly raise your shoulders off the floor, but don't raise your entire back. You should feel the pull in your abs. Exhale as you lift off the floor and inhale when you come down again. Don't come down right back down to the ground.

*Leg lifts

 Lie on ground again with your legs straight out in the air. Now you have to raise them until they are at a 90 degree angle. Repeat this a number of times without bending your knees. If you are at a gym you can find a bar where you can raise yourself up with your arms. This does require some strength, but it is a challenge to work towards.

*Alternating toe touch 

 Lie on your floor with your feet straight up in the air. You will be doing sit ups, but you will be touching your toes as well. Your head must stay in the same position, just above the chest. Raise one arm as you lift the same shoulder. Extend your one arm towards the opposite foot and return before you do the same with the opposite hand. Don't overdo this one or stretch too much because that could cause an injury.

*Burpees

 If you are not fit, then this can be a challenge, but it is definitely an effective exercise. You will start standing up and then jump so the next position you will be in is with your feet and hands on the ground. Kick your feet back so you are in a push up position and then jump up to the standing position again. Repeat this again for a set number of times. These are quick movements.

*V-Up 

There are many forms of crunches and sit ups. This is another one. You will start lying with your back on the floor, with your hands at your sides and your knees bent. Point your hands to the ceiling. Keep your head still, just above the chest. Lift the shoulders off the floor. At the same time lift your legs towards the ceiling, touching your feet with your hands. Return back to the ground again.
