yes, you do have abs somewhere underneath all that fat 
jk 
.but seriously you should not only work on losing fat but to also gain more mass in you abs. i dont have a list of the excersises but i heard situps is actually the most ineffective excercise you can do.(gasp!)

are you serious, I heard that under 12% wasn’t healthy, because u basically have no fat, so that means no energy. but I can see my ab muscles(not really six pack, but visible muscle, and im over 12% definitely.[/quote]
hey I’m 8% body fat and I have a six pack it was 8 but one of them got soooo small so really it looks like seven, the are all staggered and stuff. I thought I was really skinny but nope 8% is all me. I am 130lbs and 5'10ish, I have no pecks but I know how to get them.
My aunt heard that Olympic athletes have 8% body fat so I guess I’m good.
hey avyay, all you need to do to do is work your core. When I was in 5th and 6th grade I’d do 200 sit-ups/crunches. I always scrawny but I found it fun, plus the girlies likey.
In school we do core training with medicine balls. It sounds wimpy maybe but it really works. Here's whatcha do:
Stretch w/ ball:
5x-hold the ball over your head, arms almost locked and slowly bend from right to left. Keep your feet on the ground at shoulder's length.
5x-again hold the ball over your head. this time bend forward like you are doing toe touches. Also keep your feet apart. Then come back up. You don't have to hold it or anything just go up and down
Workout w/ ball:
2 sets of 10x-squats, hold the ball over your head and squat down knees at a 90 degree angle. Make sure that you have a good base (with your feet) and don't put your weight on your heels.
2 sets of 25x-sit up toss, just as it sounds, lie on your back with the ball over your chest then sit up and throw the ball. In gym we have partners but when I do it at home I just use a wall. keep your feet about a foot away from the wall. wait for the ball to come back to you, catch it, and then go down and do it over again.
30 secs- lie one your back with your feet directly above you as straight as possible. hold the ball above you head, then put your arms back so the ball is behind your head. your arms should be as straight as possible. then bring the ball to you legs, try to touch your toes with it, but don't actually hit your toes. and then repeat as many times as possible in the second 30 sec
30 secs- again lie on your back with your legs in the air. this time just do the toe touch part of the last one. make sure to keep your arms straight. I got about 40 in my gym class.
2 sets of 25x- elbow sit-ups. lie down on your back with your arms to your sides now do a sit up but don't let your elbows off the floor. I keep my legs straight but some people bend them. It's up to you. I’d do the harder one when you find out which is harder.
there's a few of the better ones if you want the rest I’m sure I can get them to you. If there are any corrections or suggestions you'd like to make just let me know. hope this helps.
oh yeah running your "butt" off is a great way to loose weight. And remember that by not eating you are only hurting yourself and will not actually lose any fat. -my mom is doing south beach

Many professional athletes aspire to have as little body fat as possible. Some players in the NFL even have less than 1 percent body fat, and they are in no way unhealthy.soccerchild27 wrote:are you serious, I heard that under 12% wasn’t healthy, because u basically have no fat, so that means no energy. but I can see my ab muscles(not really six pack, but visible muscle, and im over 12% definitely.

Here are some ab workouts that I do every morning. It works great and it's very easy!! Just remember that as you do these, pull your abs in tight!
-Torso twists
-Pilates~100's
-Kneeling Pull-ins~get on all fours and make sure that your knees are under your hips and your wrists are below your shoulders. Extend opposite arm and knee, then bring your elbow to your knee while pulling in your abs.
-Plank Position Holds
-Crunches~you can vary them alittle each time--extend one leg while doing your crunches, bicycling(arms behind your head, bring elbow to knee), and you can set your legs on a chair to work your abs more.
-Full sit-ups(go all the way up)--larger range of motion, therefore more energy expended, and more calories burned
Hope this helps!

Soccer is life--it's the law. Plain and simple.
Some people's 6-packs are just natural. I am 15 years old and i rarely do situps, unless in P.E when I do like only 15. I have a six pack and so does my freinds brother.
Procrastination is like masterbation, it feels good at first, but in the end youre just f'ing yourself.

Okay, I've seen a whole lot of stupid replies here so I needed to clean them up.
There is no one with less than 1 percent bodyfat. I'm pretty sure theres no one with less than 2 percent either. Essential bodyfat (what is needed to still be alive) is 2-5% from Wikipedia. Anyone claiming less is either trying to brag, or is a moron.
If you want to have visible abs the only solution is to lower your bodyfat. As basically as possible this means:
Calories Eaten < Calories Burnt
Now this doesn't mean that if you eat 1000 thousand calories you need to run so much that you burn over 1000. Each persons body burns calories just doing its daily functions. This is your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). To find this go to here: http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/.
As far as calories eaten, you can't go without eating and expect to lose that fat. When you don't eat your body goes into starvation mode effectively stopping your metabolism. This can also cause loss of muscle which is the last thing you want. The general rule is to eat at least 10x your body weight if you're trying to cut fat (you should eat more if you're still young as your body needs the calories and nutrients to grow). Slow and steady is the best course for fat loss and you should be aiming for around 2lbs of fat loss per week at maximum.
If you implement a good workout program (make sure to include weight lifting as it'll help you retain muscle), and eat clean foods you'll be on your way to that 6-pack.
Now this is very brief, so if you're really looking to lose some fat search online. There are many great sites and information out there to aid you and help clarify some of the things I've said. Lastly, having a 6-pack won't make you a better soccer player, so be sure to keep the ball on your foot!
