    How long does it take to get from my house to New Orleans?

    Well, where's your house? is it in Shreveport, or Pennsylvania? are you walking, driving, flying, riding a unicycle, only travelling on Sundays, stopping every 2 hours, driving straight through, going via Memphis, taking a detour to Amarillo, are you in a supercar with no regard for the speed limit, or are you driving a 1974 Chevvy with a dodgy transmission…

    See how many variables there are? We're gonna need a LOT more information before anything even vaguely like useful responses or advice can be given.

    Depends on how you work out. It could take 3 months to a year. If you work on that stomach every day you could probably have a 6 month goal. If you have any other questions. You could always ask the company that runs our lives Google.

    It could take more than 3 months, more than a year. Or it could take 6 weeks. Alateriel's post above is right.

    For some people, it could even be impossible. There are skeletal configurations and fat-distribution genetics that mean some people can't get a full 6-pack at all because the relevant musculature won't show in the desired way, even when very lean, even possibly unhealthfully lean. That shredded physique isn't necessarily the healthiest body.

    Generically, getting as close to a six pack as possible is about having enough abdominal muscle, then losing enough overlying fat for it to show.

    How long that would take if someone is 100 pounds/50 kilos overweight and undermuscled is very different from how long that would take from someone who's been doing the right types of strength training and nutrition for many months and more, but still has a small number of pounds of fat to lose.
