You can't spot reduce meaning just working your abs and obliques are going to make them go away. Doing hundreds of crunches per day is useless. I will tell you that right now, the abs are just like any other muscle and require rest to recover and grow. All you need are 4 sets of 25, each set must contain a different exercise that targets a different area of your abs. (Upper and lower, right and left obliques) I would recommend if you want getting a swiss ball to increase your range of motion and a medicine ball to increase the difficulty but thats up to you. Also try to fit in at least 30+ minutes of cardio because during the first 30 minutes all your burning is stored energy your body has from food it ate recently. Afterwards is when you start to metabolize the fat on your body. Diet and cardio are more important to revealings abs than working the muscles underneath the fat.

Simple tips for dieting

1) Eat most whole grain products, they keep you fuller for longer.

2) Eat fruits and yogurts instead of candy, cookies, ice cream, chips for snacks

3) Eat more lean protein (chicken, fish, turkey) instead of red meats (pork, beef)

4) Split your 3 meals into 5-6 meals, it keeps your metabolism up all day.

You can ride the stationary bike or get on a threadmill. Whatever it is, you need to do lots of cardio to get off that fat. Ab exercises such as sit-ups, crunches and leg-raises are secondary. Sure, they're gonna tighten your stomach and get those 6-packs out but if your belly's still flabby you've got to do more cardio.

There is no such thing as spot reduction when loosing weight. If you do crunches you will tone the muscles in your stomach but the fat will still be there. Do lots of aerobic exercises, burn more calories then you eat and you will loose weight. Some people loose weight faster in some parts of their bodies then others.

I have the same problem but I've found the best way is to cut out the processed, high carb foods out of my diet. Not necessarily atkin's diet. just foods less in sugar and lower carbs

I also love the elliptical machine

Tone up via doing excercises that are centred on the tummy section. staying power is a distinctive function, it wont take place as quickly as you prefer to, until eventually you placed the attempt it. consume suitable, excercise nicely. Theres no longer something extra to it!
