Flex your ab muscles every couple of seconds while you're sitting at the computer or on the couch watching TV. Over time this will tone your abs.

Hardly...

The secret is acknowledging the true purpose of food as fuel rather than entertainment. Focus on protein, fats, and carbohydrates and learn about each of them. A little bit of research online will teach you a lot. Remember, don't diet; change your eating lifestyle. Doing so will change your life for the better. For the exercise, consider it a priority to include it into your routine.

Anyway, if you want it simple, here it is in ten steps:
1. protein is good...eat plenty (about 30% of your caloric intake)
2. fats are good and bad...know the difference
3. saturated and trans fats are the bad ones - limit these
4. poly- and mono-unsaturated fats are good - don't be afraid of them
5. carbohydrates are good and bad...know the difference
6. fibers and complex carbs are the good ones - eat these (about 40% of your caloric intake)
7. sugars and simple carbs are the bad ones - limit these, particularly late in the day (stay away from sodas and chips!)
8. drink water - lots and lots and lots of water. It's the only drink you need. Anything else is either wasted or simply bad for you
9. Eat 4-6 "meals" a day to boost your metabolism.
10. A meal is defined as a portion of a low-fat, protein rich entree, a portion of veggies for vits/mins, and a portion of complex carbs. (You can get these combined as a health shake)

To burn fat, the key is aerobic exercise. This is defined as any exercise that elevates and sustains your heart rate to about 70-80% of your maximum heart rate. Sustaining it beyond 20 minutes is going to get you into that fat burning zone. Then, the longer you go, the more you burn. Other exercises (anaerobic), such as calisthenics or strength training (weights) are going to improve your muscular strength and endurance. This is what does the "toning" that people talk about. NOTE: To debunk myth, Yoga and Pilates, while great for flexibility, core strength, and physical therapy are not great for fat loss or muscle toning.

Here's a simplistic plan that anyone should be able to follow:
1. 4-6 hours per week
2. 45-90 min each day you exercise
3. do aerobic exercise (20-40 min) every day you exercise
4. work abdominals every day you exercise (between sets makes it easy)
5. do chest and triceps exercises on one day
6. do back and biceps exercises on a different day
7. do legs and shoulder exercises on a different day
8. do your exercises in sets (i.e. 3 times with 6-12 repetitions each)
9. keep a record of what you do to measure progress.
10. when your progress stalls (called "plateau"), switch up your routine.

Do you work your abs at the same time? Sometimes I do sit-ups during commercials.
