A: well its tough call. not everyday, you should have at least 1-2 days a week workout free so your body can repair.running isn’t the most effective way of getting a six back. because you say the term six pack i assume you want a toned six pack and toned body. if you look at all those long distance runners they have six packs, but still have a flabby look to them slightly due to lack of muslce.weight training is the optimal way of getting that toned look. here is why. to get six pack need to burn calories. working out burns them but your body burns even at rest, now how much depends on the person. a bodybuilder like lets say arnold in his prime vs regular guy Joe. arnold has alot more muslce mass which requires energy around the clock to sustain itself so arnold body is burning maybe 5x more at rest than joe. think of a mustang with 8 cyclinder engine and Civic with 4cyclinder engine. pour 10gallons of gasoline in both and start them and just let them idle. the mustang will run out first cause it has to feed 8 cyclinders. so your body essentially works the same way. if you weight train and build more muscle mass your body will burn more calories. less calories = fat loss=toned
