Like most things, 6-packs are more a function of diet than any exercise. The trick isn't to make your muscles bulge, it's to remove all the fat covering them.
I'm no expert, but I've heard the secret is sit-ups, lots and lots of sit-ups. 100 a day, right next to your squats and pushups.
I am steadily working towards the Onepunch-work-out. The only problem is that its too dam hot to run at the moment. Other than that its coming on well. I just hope my hair doesn't fall out.
Edit; That said if anyone know some good neck/back exercises I would love to know I'm on day 4 of a bangover and would love to not go through this again.
Well if you really want to do Onepunch work out, it won't work unless you fully do the one one punch lifestyle. That means you cannot ever use your AC during summer or your heat during winter and never ever ever give up even when your muscles strain.
You could do the workout the Zack McGowan work out (from Black Sails)
Five days a week, McGowan ran for 13 miles, did 400 pull-ups—all from a dead-hang, with no kipping—200 push-ups in two sets of 100, 25 handstand push-ups, and 50 inverted sit-ups.
I'm doing the 6-week regime. Started with 8-12-8-8-10 today on 60s intervals.
60s means that you rest 60 seconds for every set right?
Good luck dude, is doable. and, very rewarding at the end. don't forget to get some protein. I recommend egg white powder, it goes well with smoothies (fat free Greek yogurt, seasonal berries, and fat free milk or water) .
How important is it to regulate your diet in terms of what you eat if you're exercising? Is it that important to eat extra protein as a lay person doing casual sports/cardio?

From everything I've read on the subject, unless you are looking to bulk up visually, you don't really need to have extra protein. Muscles will still get stronger on a normal amount. It's generally more important to make sure you have the protein soon after a workout to speed up the recovery.
As far as other diet things, this is purely anecdotal from how my body behaves, but the one thing I make sure I do on workout days is to not have any sugar before the workout. Even just having a glass of juice in the morning will make me feel a lot worse when exercising in the evening. I don't have facts to explain exactly why this happens, but I'm sure it's related to the inflammation that sugar causes.
Buy over-salted, fatty, and usually nutritionally redundant food and get a fitness tracker that your kid will likely never use. Way to waste more plastic, McD's.
I'm on the exact opposite end right now, I need to force myself to stop running until my foot heals. I keep thinking it feels okay when I start, but the next day it hurts like hell again. I'm not looking forward to how much I atrophy.

Buy a Happy Meal, get a fitness tracker.
