Situps, crunches, leg lifts.\n\nCrunches work best 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.

Sit on a work out bench and balance yourself then curl your legs up to your stomach. Keep doing this until your abs are tired. Repeat this exercise as often as possible. Good luck.

try exercises that concentrate on the muscles of the sides.  like stand with arms to sides, weights in hands, bend over to right then to left, repeat, repeat, repeat.  also, twist/rotate at waist.  if you can feel the "pull" at the sides muscles you're toning them.  hope you make it!  I'm pullin' for ya!

i workout my abs a lot. and i think the most effective way is elevating ur legs onto like a chair, so only ur back is on the ground and then either doing crunches or sit-ups from that position.

Abdominal Crunch\nThese are excellent for strengthening the abdominal muscles and reducing a protruding stomach. Lie on the floor. Hold your legs at a 90-degree angle with your lower legs parallel to the floor. (You can also place your legs over a bench or a piece of furniture.) With arms at your side (or on shoulders or behind ears as in the curl-ups), inhale slowly as you raise your shoulder off the floor, forcing your chest muscles toward your legs. Pull your hips upward, hold for a second, then exhale slowly and roll down to the starting position. Do up to twenty-five repetitions.

If you are talking about leg lifts for a stomach workout, make sure the small of your back is FIRMLY planted on the floor or weight bench and don't lift too high. Lift to isolate your stomach muscles, not for height.\n\nIf you are talking about the kind where you lay on one side to work a thigh, have the bottom leg bent slightly to support your pelvis and the top leg with the toe pointed toward the floor as you lift and lower your leg. That will isolate your hip flexor and will give you a serious workout.\nHave your bottom arm on the floor, elbow bent, and top arm crossed in front of you, hand on the floor to further support your back.

There are many variations of Ab Workouts that can be done. Keep in mind that there are really 3 sections of the stomach that you must work constantly in order to see results: Upper abdominal muscles, Lower abdominal muscles, and Obliques (muscles on the side of the stomach). Here is a list of a few abdominal exercises. \n\n1. Sit-up/Crunch – This can be done on various machines, exercise ball, or on a floor mat. \n\n2. Leg Lifts – many ways this exercise can be done including hang from a bar, or leg lift machine which allows weight to be supported by elbows, sitting on the edge of bench, or finally lying on back and lifting legs toward head. (Variation: Jackknifes, which you bring your outstretch arms and legs above your body from a lying position)\n\n3. Use Triceps rope to do weighed crunches. \n\nThe list goes on and on. Please check out the link provided as BodyBuilding.com does and outstanding job of not only explaining the exercise but also proving pictures of the various exercises. 47 in total!!\n\n\nhttp://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exercises.php?MainMuscle=Abdominals

The best book on abdominal exercises I have come across is called "Combat Abs" by Matt Fuery.  You will also want what's known as a Power Wheel.  These are low rep workouts that will kick your ass.  Quite frankly, they are the only thing I've found that are effective for abdominals (hi-rep is worthless).

There are two keys to defined and strong abdominal muscles.\n1) Low body fat allows for the musculature to make itself visible.  This can be achieved by a combination of weight lifting (which increases resting metabolism) and cardiovascular training such as running, elipitcal, etc.  Of course, consuming less calories is the other side of this equation as well.\n2) Increasing the size of the muscles themselves is also helpful as well as independently healthy---abs are a key "core strength" area that support your entire body in all its movements.  For this I like to do a combination of things:\na) crunches where you lift your head and upper body up while also raising your legs, so that both ends of your body can "meet" in one smooth simultaneous motion (many gyms have this as a machine with weights)\nb) leg raises all the way up to my head when hanging by my arms from a pullup bar\nc) SPRINTS!!  This is VERY underrated:  if you do a series of sprints (100 meter, 200 meter eg) you will notice GREAT ab results.  Go to a track, run a 100 meter dash as hard as possible.  Walk for 200 meters.  (wash =)) and repeat like 6-8 times and you will feel a great ab soreness the next day. \n\nGood luck.

Do variations of ab workouts, not just crunches. Include a good work-out regime and suck in your stomach and stand tall.

tone the muscle with striength training, mantain but don't build if you don't want more muscle eat more protien and less fats and carbs.  Make sure you take a good vitamin supplement I'd reccomend crunches or situps for tummy legs toned would be leg lifts the straight up ones on your side and the ones where you put your food over our leg and lift up and do the inside of the leg.  Squats, also for lower abdomen take your legs, cross them and slowly lower then down hover over gound and lift them back up make sure they are straight out.  thoes exercises where you are on all fours legs out to the side you can lift them out to the back out to the side.
