If you have fat over your abdominals, doing sit-ups is not going to give you a flat stomach. It will strengthen the muscles underneath the fat, but won't burn enough calories to make the muscles show. You need to lose overall body fat if you want visible abdominals.

Crunches, sit ups, press ups et cetera are all essentially ‘strength training’ you’re improving the muscle, but if that is overloaded with fat you’re not going to see any difference! Cardio burns fat, an exercise bike would be a good start, but if you’re committed to losing that stomach you’ll want to be doing more than just a single exercise.

Consider taking up swimming (shocking I know, but everyone else is concerned about how bad/good they look and really don’t care about how you look!), go for regular walks, and if it interests you begin running, look into taking some tae-bo classes, or something that interests you, exercise doesn’t have to be boring!

You need to watch what you eat, find out your daily recommended calorie intake based on your height, lifestyle, a google search should find websites that help you do this.

Don’t expect miraculous results, you can not spod reduce where the fat will come from, it'll go as it goes, weight isn’t put on overnight or even where you want it to be put on and nor will it shift over night.

They'll help but you have to add some aerobic exercise as well, like the other guys have been saying. If you added running for an hour everyday for a month, then yeah, you'd be laughing. Eating lots of fibre and drinking plenty of water helps with keeping the belly flat as well. This helps by avoiding water retention and, let's say it bluntly, poo retention too!! Both these things will bloat you big time, no matter how much weight you lose, so put all this together and you should see a good result in a month.

First of all, doing 600 from the start will be near impossible if you have not done any exercises for your mid-section recently.
And second of all, the mid-section is basically made up of two different compartments, 1) The muscle - which will need the sit-ups or similar exercises to strengthen them and tighten your stomach. & 2) The outer flesh (for want of a better description) Which will only be flat if you have a healthy diet or do a lot of regular excercise along with your sit-ups.
So to answer your Q 600 sit-ups will not give you a flat stomach although if you can manage them they will go a long way to achieving your goal.

Here is a way to lose fat rapidly (not recommended by the medical fraternity) no sugar no fat no carbs for 48 hours drink all the water you want. Healthy sugarless breakfast cereal the next day. Lunchtime salad unsweetened drink Evening anything you fancy that will satisfy the hunger cravings and has no fat and no sugar. eat as musch as you can drink only water after this meal till bedtime. Would suggest that you go for a jog or brisk walk then retire early. And so on such fun isn't it?

it will only make your belly look bigger since there is gona be more muscle underneath the layer of fat. sit ups DO NOT burn fat - they build muscle.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Doing crunches will not help you lose weight. You make your abs muscle stronger but it will not affect your weight. You have to add some aerobic-type activities such as running, brisk walking or swimming for 30-60 min 3-4 times per week in order to lose weight.

Any physical activity pushes our metabolism to burn fat, hence losing weight (except the weight gained by strengthened muscles). the question is : from which part of our body that needed fat is being brought to be burned to fuel those crunches/sit ups ?

Hey! If you have a layer of fat over you abs then doing that amount of situps might make it worse if you dont do cardio with that. There is no such thing as spot reducing so think of your body as a whole. Focus on loosing body fat then you will truly see your abs looking like you want.

600 is going to do you serious harm if your not extremely fit, hell not even Bruce lee didn't do 600 a day (efficiency is better than repetition).
600 is just going to tear your insides up if you want to lose weight do exercise that use your whole body you will still be using your ab muscles no matter what you do you couldn't even stand up straight if it wasn't for them
