Ab workouts for a teen girl?

I'm 13 and do not own any equipment so I will not be using any. Anyways I run about 12miles a week. I stay in shape and I eat vegetables and I stay healthy. I just really want to get a four pack with the lines visible. I am a girl so I do not want a ripped body I just want the lines visible but not popping out. Thanks!

    jogging is an excellent exercise because it let you lose weight

    evenly throughout your whole body. If you want to lose weight in

    specific areas, you should target them with exercises. If they are

    your problem areas, they will be very difficult to tone. You will have

    to work double on them. The best approach is this:

    1. Lower/control your daily calorie intake (control for normal

    weight, lower for overweight).

    2. Run/jog to lower your overall body fat percentage.

    3. Target your problem areas with exercises.

    an excellent exercise, you can do it in front of your TV: sit on a

    stool, and put your toes under something (piece of heavy furniture,

    for example). In your hands hold a little dumbbell. Please, make sure

    that it is not very heavy, start with one kilo, for example, or you

    will damage your back and spine! Slowly move the upper part of your

    body back, until it's parallel with the ground. Stop for a second and

    move it back to the sitting position. Repeat ten times. Every week add

    to the number of repetitions. You will see the results in a week,

    guaranteed! You will see or feel under the fat - if you have any - four

    pack and muscles. Dumbbells do wonders. Much better than these

    crunches - I came up to three hundreds and there was no results AT

    ALL. With the dumbbells you will see it in a week.

    Assuming that your body fat is low enough to see your abs then you need to start building them. I have gained my abs by doing hanging leg raises with weights (4kg) 3 sets of 8-10, cable wood choppers heavy weights, and some serious oblique training. There's loads of vids to help on youtube.....
