Ok, I need help as stated above getting a six pack. I'm 14 and I want it for this suummer at the beach and stuff. Currently I just doing sets of 100 crunches and some pushups(not many my arms are weak, I am working on that). I usuauly do sets 3 of crunches. I know I'm doing them right but I don't even feel them until like 90 which makes me think Im doing them wrong though. So what else should I do to get a 6 pack.
P.S. I also run, bike, and play club soccer.

To be honest mate if you're already doing 100 crunches (the correct way) then you must be pretty hench!

I'm a year older than you and mainly do about 35 then I start feeling it, so I have a feeling you may be doing it wrong. search up for any videos or advice on how to do crunches properly.

Apart from that you shouldn't need any other activity to increase your six pack. However you want to keep the rest of you body toned as well as just a toned six pack will look strange, so keep it up with working on the push-ups and perhaps start doing other exercises. Make sure you also play a sport or do a lot of running. It's no use having all that muscle if you get tired after a quick jog!

This!!!

Well the thing is i do actually usualy feel it around 30-50 but I always work out while listening to music so it takes my mind off it. I think it may have to do with I do them extremly fast. I think I should probably slow down a bit. Oh, and for the whole being fit so I can run for a long time without getting tired already so I should probably just maintan the same runnning I already do.

You have to do cardiovascular exercises. For example, using the jump rope and going running for 30 minutes or so.

How long have you been doing it and do you have a lot of body fat?

You have to do it much slower. That's the whole point to it, you have to have your core be in control and bring you up, and down, in a controlled manner so your muscles are being worked properly.

From joy to sorrow, yesterday to tomorrow, you've been there. Friends like you are rare, your touch is so gentle,
You're my guardian angel.
Like a blossoming flower spreading your wings in grace, filling my heart with power
by feeling your embrace.

Wherever the wind may blow, we will overcome this war, in times happy or sore, I will never let you go.

Today I was doing some more and when doing them slow and controlled it greatly increased the impact. I can still do 50 and up but that is because I need to keep it a bit more controlled I think.
@ Bryant I have very litle body fat as I have always been a picky eater so I never ate much and I've always played soccer.
BTW Does Hiking up a snow covered trail tha is about 2and1/2 miles and about 2500+ elevation gain count as cardio? I did it to go skiing in tckermans ravine and I was just wondering if it counts as cardio, but I always run anyways.

^How fast was your heart beating?

At times when hiking my heart was beating like a crazy. It tended only to be the long steep parts of the hike that were like that though.
