How can I get abs?

When it comes to getting yourself in tip-top shape, there is sadly no one foolproof formula to follow.

Instead, achieving the sculpted stomach of your dreams takes a mixture of cardio, weight training and following a diet rich in lean proteins and vegetables.

Because if you're still rocking a little softness round the middle, there's no way your abs are going to show through.

So unless you're one of the lucky few are blessed with lean genes, it may be worth addressing your diet and booking in for some spinning sessions if you're dreaming of a six pack this summer.

How many sit-ups do I need to do a day?

Unsurprisingly, there's no magic number of sit-ups you can do to ensure envy-inducing abs at the end.

But sit-ups are a great way of building core strength and increasing your overall fitness.

According to Livestrong, combining three sets of sit-ups with 25 to 50 repetitions each is how to build and sculpt your abs.

Better still, you only need to do your crunches three times a week if you're also combining this with cardio and strength training. Winning.

What's the best technique?

If you used to zone out of P.E. lessons too, then don't worry: we've got the formula for theperfect sit-up.

Firstly, make sure your knees are roughly hip-distance apart.

Then place your hands behind your head, where it meets your neck, and make sure your elbows are pointing to either side of the room.

Pull your belly button in towards your spin and slowly raise your torso.

Avoid the temptation to fold your neck and try not to go too quickly.

While it might look impressive to bash out as many sit-ups as quickly as possible, rapid movements rely on momentum rather than your muscle.
