Ok I just went to the gym yesterday and this guy came up to me and showed me some ab moves. Lie on your back, put your hand palm down under your butt and keep your head on the floor. Lift your legs up together and back down as low as you can go, but not to the floor. Another way is alternating between the two. It does have a pull on my abs, so I hope it works for you and me.

Eat right, of course, =P drink plenty of water, && run. Running does good for your entire body && of course throw in sit ups...Don't do the same excersises everday because it doesn't challenge your body in the long run && doesn't do much for your abs after awhile. Excersising before your meals cuts down on your apetite...It doesn't relate to flattening your stomach, but it's a tip. Umm, && excersise at least 3 days a week if not more.

>.< Ah, I hope I helped. You can also get a friend or someone to go running w/ you because it sometimes gets hella boring or join a gym...People excersising gets me motivated....I think, lol.

From Shape Magazine:

The Ultimate AB Workout
The debate over the best way to flatten the abs is endless. If you were to ask 10 trainers what the optimum exercise is for firming your belly, you might just get 10 different answers. So is there one surefire move you can do for the sleek, strong midsection you seek? No. "STOP LOOKING FOR THE ONE BEST EXERCISE FOR ABS BECAUSE IT DOESN'T EXIST", says Stuart Rugg, Ph.D., chair of the department of kinesiology... "Abdominal strength and definition come from performing a variety of exercises CORRECTLY in a CONSISTENT, well-rounded routine."
..."Crunches are versatile, effective and can be done anywhere by anyone," says certified trainter Kurt Brungardt..."And crunches that hit the abs from all angles will get the best results."

Okay seriously, though crunches help to strenghthen your abs, to loose stubborn fat, your best bet is cardio exercises. Aerobics like kickboxing, cycling or even fast paced walk or a run for 30 minutes a day (more than 3 times a week), depending on your endurance level, really do help.


Edit: I would post some abs exercises that the article offer, but that's kind of like... hmm... pirating. I don't know. Ah, heck... Never mind. I don't have a camera right now.

^ Sit ups may cause back problems, even when done properly because you stress your back. Crunches are kind of like... 1/3 of a way of sit ups. Crunches are much better than sit ups.
