Getting "cut" abs.

["Shion"]

How would you acquire stronger, leaner, more cut abs?

I know the general situps, running, leg raises, etc. but is there anything else?

70% diet........

This. You can run on the treadmill all day long but if you come home and eat crappy food, it's not going to help.

If you want cut abs you need to really dial down your diet. Meaning Low Carbs/Sugars/ and lots of Protein and Green Vegetables.

I agree what everyone else says. Diet is the most important. Count your cals and dont skip on training, eat healthy and ull see your abs in no time.

Eat well, low fat, lots of vegetables, lean meats, wholegrains etc etc

do ab exercises 4-5 times per week

and do cardio (running, cycling, stair machine etc) at least 3-4 times per week

very, very simple. Some say 70% diet, I say 99% common sense.

Exactly. It's not difficult at all. As you said, cardio and watch your diet

You can even eat junk food or drink beer once a week or so .

Yeah, it is both exercise and diet. Both are equally important. If you eat too much or not the right thing you will be gaining more weight than you're burning off with your exercise so you have to eat correctly.

You also have to burn more energy than you take in though otherwise you won't actually lose fat and you won't tighten up. So, in short, lots of exercise and eat small, healthy meals five or six times a day.

The other thing many people don't take into account is the type of training. You have to do lots of cardio, fat burning stuff. If you just do some weights and then lots of sit-ups etc, you will probably end up looking thicker than before and still not trim and cut. You have to burn all of your excess fat so that your stomach muscle actually shows through the skin instead of having a solid six pack but it being hidden underneath the layer of fat.

This is something that many people forget to take into account. You must do lots of cardio to burn more energy/fat than you take in each day. You also have to eat correctly so that the process works properly.

More like 95% diet and cardio. If your diet and cardio allows you to have low enough body fat you WILL have cut abs. The quality and size of the abs as well as the amount of body fat through which ur abs show will be determined by genetics and how well you train them.
