What exercises can I do to tone my waist, I have this inner tube that doesnt want to leave me, I hate doing crunches, so are there any other exercises I can do. If i must do crunches how many and how often to get results?

You would first have to understand this. There are two parts of your abdominals, Transverse abdominis(core) and rectus abdominis.Your rectus abdominis is the outer layer of muscle on ur mid section (your six pack) and ur transverse abdominis is the inner layer.
To TONE UP YOUR WAIST, you need to work more on your 'core'. One thing you can do is always keep your tummy tucked in as often as you can . To do this, pullyour belly button towards your spine while taking small breaths with your lungs,meaning that your abs are constantly tight.
NEVER FORGET to do this when YOU WORKOUT , STANDING, SITTING , Basicly ANYTHING you do KEEP YOUR ABS TIGHT.
Keep a good strong posture all the time.
It would be a good idea to invest in a book called 'the core essentials' by Mark Vestergen.
Ive done it . IT WORKS! .
Cheers!

Are you male or female? How tall are you? How much do you weigh??
Check this to see if you actually need to lose more weight. You may actually have a little more weight left to lose in that area.
Women=100 lbs for 5 ft. tall + 5 lbs.for each inch taller than that.
Men=100 lbs for 5 ft tall + 5 to 7 lbs for each inch taller than that.
I use an ab cruncher and have good success.
