1. The squat - Squatting is one exercise that everyone should be doing if your serious about losing weight, losing stomach fat and getting a six pack. They work the biggest muscle group in your body and therefore have a huge effect on your metabolic boost.
2. The lunge - Lunging is really just an advancement on the squat, it works the same muscles, but with a larger amount of load and requires more stability and core activation.
3. The push-up - An all-time classic, push-ups work your chest and triceps.
4. The burpee - These are an awesome abs exercise as they work your legs, abs, lats, chest and triceps all in one. They are also extremely effective as part of a HIIT workout because of the shifting focus between upper and lower body exercise.
5. The plank - A great isometric exercise (an exercise where you stay still) for core conditioning. Start with 30 second lots and increase each week until you have mastered the plank (about 2 - 3 mins).
6. Adventure! - One of the best exercises for overall health and wellness, and to get six pack abs is literally just doing some form of adventure sports at least on a semi-regular basis. Now this doesn't work for everyone because it's not always practical, but if you make it a priority in life then you will reap both the physical and psychological rewards.

That's it! Try it out and mix these exercises into your workout to get some awesome results with losing belly fat and you'll get sexy 6 pack abs in no time at all.
