Unstable surface training is the key to achieving six pack ab results without adding time to your workouts. Clients of mine that aim to improve six pack ab results have adopted unstable surface training to be their most influential factor in ab training. In addition to helping form ripped up abs, unstable surface training also assists with improving strength in the low back, decreasing waistlines, and achieving faster results in other aspects of fitness.

Having two purposes behind your training technique (i.e. strength and figure) allows your exercise to improve function with daily activity. By training your abdominal region functionally, it is possible to work on stabilization of your lower back, rotational trunk strength, rising from the floor with ease, and digestion. Understanding multiple actions of muscles leads to:

Improve the likelihood of stimulating an entire muscle, as opposed to one region. Also, functional strengthening techniques generally lead to better regularity of working out, as you will be able to feel stronger with all daily activities.

In order to truly reduce belly fat to the extent necessary to develop six pack abs, diet is an essential component. Personally, I'd rather see you stay away from extreme dieting and unrealistic food choices, but rather find mechanical foods that you enjoy eating. Mechanical foods are nutritional sources that require energy to be broken down and digested. Through increased energy use in the digestion process, you will increase metabolic demand and improve fat loss.

Six pack ab success depends largely on consistency and diligence. In order to improve your fitness level to this extent, it is best to progress slowly over time. An exercise program aimed at long-term results is an exercise program aimed at long-term success.
