Some people spend so much time at the gym trying to turn their dream six-pack into a reality. Some would starve themselves to get that perfect form.

However, what they do not realize is getting those perfectly-shaped abs is not just about commitment. It should be paired with a proper fitness program, which basically means proper diet and doing the right exercise routine.

Don't get caught up in some marketing strategies from different fitness centers that would probably end up teaching people the wrong workout method for achieving a six-pack. Some may even tell you to stop eating certain types of food, which would likely affect most people for imbalanced diet.

There is no special type of food or exercise that can develop a good flat tummy. The reason why people are having a hard time showing those abdominal muscles is because they got too much fat covering those abs. It helps to go back to the basic and be committed to it.

According to an article from Muscle for Life, the first things to do are eliminating the fat around your waist, and then develop the core muscles.

Here are the 5 best workouts for achieving your ultimate dream.

Spiderman Plank Crunch

According to Tom Holland, author of "Beat the Gym: Personal Trainer Secrets Without the Personal Trainer Price Tag," this is the best exercise that would surely develop the entire core of your abdominal muscles.

"You're working the front and back of your abdominal area at the same time without any equipment. You're getting your rectus abdominis, your obliques, and your lower back. It's so simple and effective that you can do it anywhere," the trainer said in a statement gathered by Men's Fitness.

Cable Rotation

This is one of the exercise routines that is currently used by trainers to train sports people. This will not only help develop the abs, it is also a good exercise to improve the arm control. People who play golf, baseball and tennis, know exactly what this workout can do.

Bicycle crunch

This exercise targets the 3 areas of the tummy. It hits the side, the obliques and the lower abs, which is known to be the hardest one to hit.

Swill-ball Rollout

Swill-ball rollout is almost the same as the ab wheel. It might be harder to do this at first but, once you get the hang of it, you would like this.

Cross crunch

Form the body into X by lying on your back with your legs and arms diagonally out. This exercise is pretty simple and hits the lower abs.
