First, set a goal for yourself. For example, let's say you want to do 100 by the end of the month. Start with 20, then add 3 more each day. You work up to 100 in no time!

Do crunches and sit-ups.

Exercise is meant to improve your physical abilities, not hinder them.  Stick to going maybe 3 or 4 minutes beyond when your abs are noticably sore when crunching... Then STOP!!!  Be sure to stretch your stomach when you are done..this well help keep you limber. Also, Crunches don't need to be done every day. The muscles are being torn in exercise and they need time to repeair (The repair is what makes them get tigheter). In addition... varry your workout- Do 300 crunches one morniing, skip a day and then do only 150 the next... do oblique crunches, reverse crunches, and regular crunches, make it fun, learn new exercises, Magazines like Health are great for switching up your home fitness routine.  Remember though, no matter how many crunches you do, crunches only treat the muscles. You must do cardio to get rid of flab!  You could have solid ab muscles underneath inches of fat if you dont do cardio as well!!

One way is to do sit ups, crunches, and go to the gym about three to four times a week to get thoses abs you want!

if you're not toned, it's not gonna happen in less than a month, you have to start doing cardio excercises regularly, then start doing crunches and ab excercises (http://www.timbomb.net/ab/exercises.html  has some)\ngood luck!

That entirely depends on your weight and the amount of time you spend doing crunches.\n\nSelect Calisthenics in this calculator for a rough estimate:\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/at_the_gym.html

How to get a flat stomach - Ok firstly the idea of localised fat loss is a myth - during exercise fat is burned as fuel from all areas of the body and while working your abdominal muscles will help them to develop, but if there is a layer of fat obscuring these new muscles neither you or anyone else will be able to see them. Therefore to achieve your goa,l any abdominal exercise needs to be combined with a well balanced and nutritious diet to see the fruits of your labour. In addition cardiovascular exercise will speed up this process and help to burn extra fat.\n\nBy far the best exercise to build abdominal muscle and toning the abdominal wall is the crunch - this is actually the main stomach exercise performed by athletes and models.\n\nThe Crunch\n• Lie on you back.\n• Place your feet on the floor as close to your bottom as possible and place your knees together.\n• Rest your hands across you chest and relax the neck.\n• Slowly raise your shoulders off the floor by contracting only the abdominal muscles.\n• Don't come up too high - your lower back should always remain on the floor.\n• Hold that position for a count of 1 and breath out forcefully.\n• Slowly relax the stomach muscles and allow your shoulders to return to the floor.\n• Repeat 10 - 12 times, rest for 60 seconds then repeat.\n\nThe amount of crunches you can do, as with all exercises, varies from person to person... its safest to start off with a relatively low number as to avoid strain and build up to more over time.\n\nFurther Exercises \nThe Plank\n• Lie flat on your stomach.\n• Place your hands at either side of your chest - as if ready to perform a press up - although your should tuck your elbows into your sides.\n• Keeping your back perfectly flat, push yourself up onto your knees - so that your upper body is off the floor, with your hands and knees acting as support.\n• Keeping your back flat, pull in your tummy button as high as possible - as if to suck it in close to the spine.\n• Aim to maintain a normal breathing pattern and hold this position for 10 - 60 seconds.\n• Rest, lie flat then repeat twice.\n\nToe Touch\n• Lie on you back.\n• Raise your arms and legs so they are perpendicular with your body.\n• Slowly curl your torso up and forward, raising your hands as close to your toes as possible\n• Contract your abs and then reverse direction, returning to the starting position.\n• Repeat 10 - 12 times, rest for 60 seconds then repeat.\n\nReverse Curl\n• Lie on you back.\n• Place your hands at sides and bend your knees.\nraise your butt as high as possible while keeping your upper back pressed to the floor.\n• Contract your abdominals and then reverse direction, returning to the starting position. \n• Repeat 10 - 12 times, rest for 60 seconds then repeat.\n\nTwisting Crunch \n• Lie on you back.\n• Bend your knees so your thighs are perpendicular to the ground and fold arms across your chest.\n• Slowly raise your shoulders up and forward toward your chest, twisting your body to the right.\n• Feel a contraction in your abdominal muscles and then slowly reverse direction, returning to the start position.\n• Repeat movement but this time twist to the left.\n• Repeat 10 - 12 times, rest for 60 seconds then repeat.\n\n \n   Home \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \n The Truth About Weight Loss \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \n The Truth About Exercise \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \n Great Workouts \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \n Exercising With Kids \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \n Fitness Myths \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \n The Low Carb Diet Dilemma \n\n--------

YES\nYOU CAN! :")\n\nStomach crunches first thing in the morning typically as follows:\n\nLie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor "As you are a beginner or if you have neck problems can place a pillow under the head and neck"\nPress your lower back firmly to the floor — there should be no arch at all during the entire movement. \n\nRest your head in your hands, keeping your neck and shoulders relaxed. \n\nTighten your abdominals to slowly lift your shoulders off the floor about 6 inches. \n\nExhale as you crunch up "Remember — squeeze your abs to do the lift, and don't rock in an effort to gain momentum or try to pull your head up with your arms"\nIt helps to keep your elbows back and your chin up, as if you were holding an apple under it. \n\nSlowly relax your stomach muscles to lower your shoulders back to the floor "Don't rush it".\n\nFocus on your form as you move through the crunch from start to finish.\n\nDo two sets of 8 to 12 crunches each\n\n\nKeep on it till you get the perfect belly\nThen never stop and make it your "From Now On" style of life\n\nBest of luck dear :")

Increase you protein intake, and try varying your abdominal exercises. Crunches, depending on how you do them, have a limited effect. There are other abs exercises out there.\n\nBut I'm not completely an expert, so here, try this survey. It's called "Will you get a six pack?" Unfortunately, it doesn't say when. There is really no way of knowing for sure.\n\nhttp://www.menshealth.co.uk/tests/fitness/

If you do crunches properly, you should not be able to exceed 30 reps.  Slow is key for abdomonial contraction.  Think of rolling a carpet.  If you're doing 50, 100 or more crunches, you're probably not doing them correctly.\n\nRegarding pushups, it depends on goal. For power, you will need ballstic and explosive fast movements.  For strength, 8-12 rep range at a moderate pace (2 seconds for a full rep).

1) slow down your reps\n2) lower the reps and up the weight\n3) watch your form and be sure you are isolating the   muscles properly with your movements\n3) break up the crunches into MAX sets of 20 or 30, and vary the type of ab work you do (just straight crunches don't target enough)
