1. Key Points

• Work Out Your Abs: Do core exercises like abdominal crunches every morning. I am not saying to do 100, but at least making it a habit of performing at least 10 to 15 crunches and 30-second planks will take you miles in getting a good abdominal structure.
• Eat Healthy: I used to train every day during my college days and used go to Martial Arts classes, still I was not able to get six-pack abs, and that is because I wasn't eating well. I used to consume pizza and burgers, which used to have high sugar and fats, and that fat is the enemy of well-structured abs because your abs are usually hidden behind that fat layer. So, it is better to start eating food items that are less fatty and have more proteins, fibers, and carbohydrates. This means, having more lean meat, eggs, fruits, and vegetables, and avoiding food stuff like sugar beverages, butter, etc.
• Track Your Progress: Take photos, measure your waist, and keep a journal or online blog to stay motivated. You can even use the comment section of this article to share your progress or just create a new thread about your overall journey.

2. Do Exercise

2.1 Target all the three abdominal areas

• To get a six-pack abs, work your upper, lower, and side abs.
• Do core exercises at least 5 days a week.
• Each exercise helps a specific area, but you can't target just one. Start with abdominal crunches and then side crunches, half crunches, leg raises, etc.
• Don't forget the planks. Plank exercises are important for any abdominal muscle workout because they work all the ab muscles together, plus many other muscle groups. 

3. Access Your Belly Fat

Excess fat tends to accumulate around your belly. Since abdominal muscles lie underneath this belly fat, you will need to shed excess fat if you want your abdominal muscles to be visible.

3.1 Reduce Your Caloric Intake

To reduce fat, you must burn more calories than you are taking in. There are a few simple ways to reduce calories;

• Reduce your portion size, but don't skip your meals. Not eating for long periods signals your body to store fat.
• Stay away from high-calorie, low-nutrition food.
• Specifically, cut out extra sugar. Excess sugar tends to be stored as fat in the midsection.
• Reduce intake of alcoholic beverages like beer, whiskey, wine, etc. This is because alcohol has useless calories and usually hinders muscle growth and development.

3.2 Eat Lean Protein

Protein is an essential nutrient for building muscle because your muscles are primarily composed of protein. Depending on your body weight and activity level, about 1/4 of your food intake should be lean proteins. The body usually burns more calories in the digestion of proteins than carbohydrates. Some of the healthy options are chicken, fish, egg white, etc. Vegetarian options include tofu, and soya chunks, etc.

3.3 Eat Fruits and Vegetables

Fruits and Vegetables have a tendency to fill up quickly and are rich in the vitamins and nutrients one needs to maintain an active lifestyle. Half of your food should be fruits and vegetables.

Foods that are high in Vitamin C, such as oranges, kiwis, and kale help your body turn fat into fuel and balance stress-related cravings.

3.4 Drink Plenty of Water

Staying properly hydrated will improve your energy and mood levels and will help keep you full between meals. One of my friends who had been under drastic weight loss told me to start drinking water before meals, at least 1 hour before, this helps in regulating hunger and also hinders cravings for sugary drinks.

4. Keep Track of Your Progress

Keeping track of your progress keeps you motivated to go a longer distance in your fitness journey. This also helps you visualize your itinerary which is not possible without tracking.

To do the same, you can create a blog or even have a normal pen and paper to track your progress and understand which diet regimes are helping you and which needs to be changed.
