Do a lot of ab exercises. Sit ups are good, but you should also do roll ups, in and outs and the hover.

If you don't know what roll ups are, lay down on the ground with your hands locked infront of you. Then roll up into a half sitting position then go a quarter way up and then a little down, then a little up and so on. I don't recommend doing a lot of these at firt becuase they hurt. :shock:

In and outs are sort of like sit ups. You start in the same position as the roll ups. Then half way sit up and bring your legs in at the same time. If you do it right, you will feel kind of like you are on a rocking chair. I would start with about 30 of these. :wink:

Most people know how to do the hover but just in case you don't, here are some directions: Get into a push up position only with your forearms on the ground instead of your hands. Push of the ground and hold for around 30 seconds at the beginning. You can do as many as you feel like. I usually do 2-3 of these.

I hope those exercises help you and good luck getting that six pack!!!
:D

Push up are also good. you could also try candlesticks. lay on your back and get your legs up so you butt is off the ground a little (legs should be straight up (like a candle), and try to see if you can lift your butt a little more up and just pulse it. it works the lower tummy. it's painful at first but you'll get better. also doing v-ups is a good idea.

Try putting your feet flat on the floor with your knees bent while lying on the ground. Put one leg up so that the ankle is touching the knee. Then put the opposite hand behind your head and touch your knee with it then alternate.
