Tell me how YOU people got your abs, and how long it took.?

My obliques are showing, about 80+% visible already, just not that DEFINED. and my upper abs is 70+% showing, not that visible but if I flex it a bit, it becomes visible. I don't jog though, and don't swim.. although after school i'd walk around near campus with friends.. i'd estimate the overall walk to be 30+ minutes of walking (OVERALL) should this be enough?Tell me how YOU people got your abs, and how long it took.?
Ive always been leaner, so it was never a problem of loing the fat on top. Ive changed my programs over the years, but generally i worked each the following





-slow crunches for upper (3 seconds up 2 seconds down)


-V sits for middle upper and lower


-reverse crunches for lower


- side bridges and side crunches for obliques


- crunch cycles (shoulders raised in crunch postion while cycling legs in the air for intervals building up from around a minute)





all exercises except the last to failure (or remote failure)





Hope this helped.Tell me how YOU people got your abs, and how long it took.?
walking alone isn't going to cut it man. you have to work it out and have a proper diet.
you need to tone up your ab mucles with ab workouts...try crunches, leg lifts, plank abs etc
I did crunches everyday (like 100-200 total) on all areas of the abs...took me about 3 months to get them really defined. (i was starting with a flat tummy already) Also do planks...these are amazing.





Try to do more cardio. Walking is good, but if you arent walking very fast, it doesnt do much...and it sounds like it is broken up which isnt as good.


The bike is an excellent option for legs. Do ATLEAST 20 minutes continues...preferably more like 30. After 20 minutes of exercise, the body switches to fat burning energy.





Good luck with getting toned and healthy!


EDIT: After your added detail, i think you are doing well. Try not to just do crunches though, try some other ab workouts. (get online, or use some from the guy below)
