I was hoping to get relatively noticeable abs in about two weeks. Right now I have a little bit of definition to them but not a whole lot. I am about 6′0" 162lbs a BMI of 22 and waist of about 30". If it is possible to see a good amount of change in 2 weeks, how long should i do cardio and how long working the abdominals? Also should I do anything with a diet?

Drink a lot of water, don’t add salt to anything, and cut out sweets and desserts.

When doing your abs (sit ups, crunches, plant position, etc) do them slow and controlled, but you can also do them fast and get a little cardio workout too. Also, try holding weight on your chest when you do crunches. A 15 or 20 pound disk or dumbbell would be good.

Also, make sure you’re working all your abdominals. Not just one kind of crunch, do all of them (side crunches, reverse, bicycle, steps, etc).

Also, to help remove any fat that’s covering your muscles, cardio (running, swimming, basketball, bike riding, etc) is what you need. Try doing something for 30-60 minutes (at least) every day.

Sure, it’s possible to see noticeable improvement in your abdominals in two weeks. But it takes a lot of hard work and discipline. Good Luck!!
