      A six pack won't last you long. I really like the Sam Adams Cream Stout, though Shock Top seems really popular around here.

      3475638 crunches. Drink lots of water. No sugar, carbs, fruit, or anything that tastes good. Inhale sharply every 3 seconds.

      Um, I'm out of crazy ideas.

      Firestone Walker is a good brewer, they have 6 packs in some Bevmos.

      Stone Brewing Co makes a really good IPA.

      I mean, 3 weeks is definitely a long enough time to find some 6 packs.

      Grab a six pack of beer. That is the only way you will get one in 3 weeks. Really?

      You aren't going to get a 6 pack in 3 weeks. If you wanted abs, you should've started 6 months+ ago. It takes a while to build muscle.

      You can start by focusing on abdominal exercises though:

      Flat bench lying leg raises
      Decline reverse crunch
      Hanging leg raises
      Swiss ball crunch (weighted)
      Weighted cable crunch
      Russian twists (weighted)
      Weighted cable crossovers
      Decline oblique crunch
      Lateral flexion with medicine ball (over head)
      Lateral flexion with medicine ball (twist)

      Ah the old spot reduction myth. Love when that shows up.

      Maybe I misread it but I didn't take the poster as saying it was for spot reduction but to help build muscle...or am I wrong for thinking that doing exercises that focus on the abs help build the ab muscle...not lose the weight but tone up the ab muscles...am i right or am I wrong? I'm still learning the ins and outs of what is fact and what is myth with some stuff.

      Specifically targeting the ab muscles, especially with such a long list of exercises, is generally pointless. A decent routine with compound lifts gives the core plenty of work. But irrespective of that, the advice is just... not appropriate to the OP's goals.

      OP needs to lose fat in order to get visible abs. 10 different ab exercises aren't going to accomplish that. Calorie deficit will accomplish that. And she needs a whole-body lifting routine to preserve the muscle she has, including core muscle. She won't be building any muscle while in a calorie deficit.

      Its not going to happen in 3 weeks. Planks are a great way to strengthen core muscles but those muscles are there maybe you have to shed the layer of fat thats between the outside and the inside to show them off :) There is an old saying "Abs are made in the kitchen" and I believe that, you can do all the crunches you want but if that layer of fat is still there they aren't going to show.

      Have a great vacation and do your best :)

      Scooby from http://scoobysworkshop.com/ did fake infomercial based off this product.

      Sorry but 6 pack is a long term investment. If it were possible to (legally) get a 6 pack in 3 weeks everyone would have one.

      Watch the infomercial for some lols.

      You're right. It's certainly not spot reduction. It's simply exercises that target the core to get it as engaged as possible.

      PLANK... PLANK...PLANK... some can do it (and I am not talking fitness models) for up to 5 minutes at a time.. Shape Magazine has some good how to videos.
