i have the opposite problem, my abs are ripped but unfortunately are covered in a layer of fat. WHen ever i manage to loose some weight the show up again. Anyway, try bicycle crunches to target your obliques. Go to www.shape.com they have a bunch of good ab exercises i found to show improvement. If all else fails see if your gym has an ab class. I know NYSC and crunch have them, theyre great to take once in a while for some new ab exercises and the instructor will correct your form.

Cardio.  Even if you do a thousand crunches a day, if you dont do any cardio, you'll never see those abs.  While youre doing cardio, make sure you have a healthy diet.\n\nAs for the ab work. Try getting an exercise ball.  Doing crunches on the ball and push ups on the ball is GREAT for your abs.  Pilates is also really good for your abs and obliques.  Make sure youre exercising your obliques as well.

No stomach exercises are easy. Persistence and determination are the best things. Crunches work great if you are determined. Try some leg raisers. Lay flat on your back and lift your legs up to the ceiling and even bringing them back over your head. This does wonders for the lower abs. Do them slow and controlled. Also, you say you go to the gym. Ask them their as there are many different ones you can do. Watch them also and learn.

the best way to tone in that area is to do 30 mins of cardio at least 3 times a week.  as far as exercises go for abs, do crunches with your legs extended straight up lying flat on the floor.  extend your arms above your head towards the ceiling.  raise your shoulders slowly upward, reaching your arms toward your toes.  do 4 sets of 12 crunches, during each set don't let your shoulders touch the ground.  for thighs lie on the ground with your feet flat on the floor.  raise your hips up and down, tightening your glutes (this will also work your butt).  alternate lifting one leg off the ground, holding it straight out.  also do 4 sets of 12.  if you have any other questions you can e-mail me at emmalee_1633@yahoo.com.  i am a certified personal trainer but i've taken a higher position at the fitness company i work for so i'd be happy to help you :)

Start lying flat on your back, arms over your head.  Roll your torso up towards your feet, driving your breath out as you contract your abs as much as you can, starting from the sternum and working your way down to the pubis.  You'll be partway to a seated position.  Keep going into a toe-touch, relaxing your abs as necessary and allowing inhalation (passively -- don't deliberately inhale).  Reverse the process back to starting position. Again, as you relax, allow passive inhalation.\nNow do the opposite: raise your feet and contract your abs from pubis to sternum.  You'll have your feet partway over your head.  Go on ahead over into toes-touching-the-floor over your head, if you can.  As you relax your abs, allow the passive inhalation.  Reverse the process to starting position.  That's one rep.\n\nRepeat.  If you can do ten of these, at a rate of one minute  per rep, you're going to have killer ab tone.\n\nOh, and once you have the concept (which is, let your breathing go into neutral and focus on moving your core), you can do the same type of exercise while sitting in your car (say, at a red light).

Firstly, cardiovascular exercize is crucial when attempting to "build your abs." You must first decrease the layer fat in that area in order to see any real results.\nBrisk walking, jogging, kickboxing etc. will  help achieve that result.\nSecondly, mix up your ab routine often...adds interest and will attack all areas of the abs. (obliques, upper and lower). Floor exercizes like crunches and leg lifts are good, but for maximum results invest in a stability and medicine ball. When used in conjuction with each other, you will undoubetedly notice suberb results...flat abs!!\nAnd as always, cut out the fats and high calorie foods.\nHappy exercizing!

Lean meats, protein. Running is great exercise for toning and losing belly fat. I don't know how much biking will help your abs, but it's better that you have a well-rounded workout.\n\nMy favorite exercise for abs is on a decline bench at a 30-degree angle. Holding a 10-lb weight on your chest (more as you improve; my boyfriend does 25, but I'm just a tiny girl), life yourself up in a sit-up. Do only enough so that you can work in side-to-side sit-ups as well within the SAME set. My exercise is 18 forward, 18 switching from left to right (bringing elbows to the opposite knee), then 18 forward again. I do three sets of this, and it's been working fabulously for me.

Be sure to do cardio because your abs won't show if they're covered under a layer of fat.\n\nInterestingly, push-ups, chin-ups, and jogging work your abs because to do all of those properly you need to hold your stomach in.

the top 3 ab exercises according to men's health magazine are:\n\n1. swiss ball crunch - targets your medial abs and saves your back\n2. the air bicycle - lie on your back and cup your hands behind your head. bring your right elbow to your left knee, then alternate like a bicycle\n3. hanging leg raises - this targets the lower abs\n\nsorry, only the air bicycle can be done without equipment... but i also recommend the video called '8 minute abs'.... it's a crazy 8 minute ab workout which done daily will give you rock hard abs in a month.... you can find it on the net actually
