sit ups DONE PROPERLY and ab cruchers will promote them but not over night takes a couple weeks to build up tome and make the Mussle defination
be carefull with sit up can result in injuring neck or back if it hurts stop and think about what u are doing wrong see gym instructors before starting

That is completely false, I hav eseen pleanty of women with a six pack. It's a matter of your body fat percentage, how you train, how long you've been training, where your body fat sits ect. You may be doing the sit ups incorrectly as well, make sure that you are pully your belly button in towards your spine and do them slowly. One can do hundereds of situps with no benifit at all becasue they are doing them wrong. You won't get a six pack from just sit ups, you need to do other ab exercses as well. ex) laying on the floor with you legs extended straight out holding the feet 6 in above the ground. If it's a goal you really want to reach, you may want to get a personal trainer.

YES! it is very possible just dont get to obbessed over it. I did pilates for 6 months once a week for 45mins and regular sit ups so try that and make sure your eating healty if it doesnt work it might just be you have a different muscle growth or i dont know just try hard eat good and have fun! im sure there is alot of stuff online that can help also! by the way you dont really skinny to have a 6 pack

Of course. They don't usually look particularly good, in my opinion, but you CAN get them. It's harder for girls because they usually have a little pack of fat on the abdomen (which is there for organ protection, amongst other things). Even if you're really fit, you might still have the remains of one. The only girls who have visible 6-packs are really skinny ones, but don't do anything unhealthy :P Ask yourself the question: Which would i prefer to have, a stomach that's just nicely toned, or a stomach that looks like it came off a male body builder?

a "gal" CAN get six packs its just a matter of time it dependsd on how big you are (fat). it usually takes 6 weeks minimum. and try increasing the amount of sit-ups you do or find another excersize that works your abs!

girls can get six pack abs. if you are doing all those sit ups and it isnt working then start adding weight to your sit ups.
but dont take it too far. I saw this chick at the gym she worked too hard it looked like she had potatoes implanted under her skin! bleh *shutters*

of course girls can get six packs..that's such a bad steryotype...if situps aren't working for you, use weights or try other excercises that work your abs
