Key foods to avoid are high sugar/caloric foods like soda and sweets. Along with that you should focus on exercises to target that area. Do a search in fitBuddy on getting a Six-Pack. Good Luck

A six pac abs is found in the kitchen. You need a proper diet to help burn fat. Strengthening the muscle to point where it shows is not the issue here; you could have a six-pack underneath a layer of fat, but no one is going to see it until you burn that fat away. For men, your body fat percentage is around 6%, I believe. Women can see six pack abs in as high as 15%, I think. FT Regs, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Like any muscle it's not going to get firm (or bulge) without some amount of resistance. That's like saying I can get incredible shoulders and glutes by just doing cardio...which isn't the case. It's a combination of everything. Granted the fat burn is the larger part of the equation...but never discount resistance if your goal is to get muscles to show.
