How do you get a six pack?
For beginners, perform recommended sets and repetitions, and rest for 60 seconds between exercises. Exercise 2 to 3 days per week.
For more advanced, increase the number of sets to 4 to 6, keeping the repetitions same. To add an extra challenge and intense calorie burn, perform this exercise as a circuit, performing each exercise in succession without rest until the entire circuit is completed. Take a break for 1 to 3 minutes and then begin the next set. Exercise 3 to 4 days per week.

2. Mountain Climbers
Start from the plank position on your hands. Keep your abs engaged and your shoulders directly over your hands, drive your RIGHT knee in towards your chest, using your abs to pull it in.
