Hey, I would strongly recommend you to save your money and invest it in a abs book at barnes and noble or visit a public library.  The ab lounge is a waste of money because you can get same results by doing different abs workout such as regular crunches. By the way, there are many books out that will give you examples of working your abs.  I have been using men's health best abs book.

At 130, unless you are really really short, you don't really need to diet.  Just do some light weight lifting to tone your arm and leg muscles.  If you can't afford or otherwise don't have access to a gym, just buy some hand/leg weights at walmart ($20 or less probably). Pilates works well too, you can just get a video and make sure to do exactly what it says (most of the ones I have are by Denise Austin).  Carmen Electra has created some seduction exercise dvds, that are based on exotic dancing (my sister said they are good for exercise and ideas) you'll have to search for it online. Also, there are belly dancing exercise videos, i have one and it's a lot more fun than some other workouts plus it directly targets those trouble spots.  You may want to add how much time you have till the cruise to your question.  If it's within a month you're going to have to work out a lot harder than if it is 3 or 4 months away.  If you are capable, running is one of the best ways to tighten your abs, and it's not nearly as anoying as situps.

First and foremost, stay away from any ab machine.\n\nFor the upper abs, focus on crunches which effectively work the abdominals better than sit-ups or any machine on the market.\n\nFor the lower abs, keep in mind there is very little muscle tissue there so decreasing levels of body fat is the most effective way to bring out the best in this area. Hanging leg raises, v-situps and reverse curls are among some of the best exercise for this region. Always make sure your pelvis curls up to maximize lower abdominal contraction during these exercises.\n\nAs far as fat loss and getting ripped goes, cardio, cardio, cardio. In the morning, on an empty stomach at about 70-80% of your maximum heart rate for about 30-45 minutes. This combined with a common sense diet will quickly shed body fat so you can actually see those abs you've developed. \n\nI would encourage you to seek the advice and guidance of a personal trainer in your area for further education on these principles. Please ensure you start off at a very basic level for crunches and cardio if you are a beginner.\n\nHere's some links to help you out.\n\nAbdominal Exercises\nhttp://preventdisease.com/fitness/Strength_Exercises_abdominals.html

I find plain, old-fashioned crunches are the best thing in town.  Do 100 a day or more, and you'll be set for fantastic abs!

FOR THE LOWER STOMACH I WOULD RECOMMEND LEG LIFTS, CRUNCHES MOSTLY WORKS YOUR UPPER ABS!

ALL SIT-UPS ARE GONNA DO IS STRENGTHEN YOUR ABDOMINAL MUSCLES...YOU PROBABLY WANT TO BURN OFF THE FAT THATS IN FRONT OF YOUR ABS, do that with interval training and circuit training... sorry, caps was on !...

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!

There are 4 abdominal muscles. You may not be exercising all of them to get the proper abs your after. Refer to this great website for some more suggestions on ab exercises: \n\nwww.bodybuilding.com\n\nYou need to work all areas of the abs. Also, with regard to your diet reduce your fats as this helps to lean out the muscles. I know you probably don't want to hear this but go and check out a pilates class cause it really helps lean and build muscles around your trunk. \n\nGood luck!

Do isolation crunches instead of sit ups. It is a much better workout for the abs. Cardie, cardie, cardie. Cardie karate puts a different push on the mind. makes you want to work harder. Even one of the tapes will help: Billy Blanks, etc. I am even going the yoga route.

There is no one right answer.  But first things first, cut out all the crap from your diet.  Lower your fried food, carb, soda, salt, and butter intake.  Next is cardio.  I recommend 20-60 minutes of cardio at least 4 times a week.  Now to the actual ab question.  As for the number of reps and sets.  Find a few exercises you like and do a minimum of 3 sets of 30-40.  See how you feel.  If that is too much, drop the reps if too easy, add some reps.  Still not challenged, shoot me an email I will send you a destructive ab workout.  Then find a few exercises that you don't like and do those as well.  I personally like to do a set of abs or obliques in between each set of my main workout.  Keeps the heart rate high, keeps you focused on your mission which equals more burning of fat.  Most importantly take your time and use proper form on every single rep.  Slow is good but if you concentrate on yoru form you will do more good for the flat sexy look.  Too slow and you will find yourself growing a whole midsection of muscle like bodybuilders, not so much the sexy definition you are looking for.  I sometimes do so many reps and sets that I separate upper abs, lower abs, and obliques on separate days.  Enjoy!

Yes Abs are made in the kitchen.  You have to eat really clean in order to see them.  Continue to do ab work, really anything will work, but you don't have to spend hours on them a week.  Cardio helps but you also don't have to do a ton of cardio to make a difference.  The more cardio you do the more efficient your body will become at doing this and it will stop burning the fat after so long.  Your best cardio workouts are HIIT (high intensity interval training).  Usually done on  a treadmill, you can do these as hill training or flat.  There are so many combinations to try but you basically warm up for 5 minutes, then choose how you want to do your intervals.  I like the 30 sec all out sprint, then 60 sec jog, continue to do this for 15-20 minutes.  You can do the 20/40 as well.  This is more effective than steady state cardio.  HIIT should only be done 2-3x's a week depending on your weight training.  Don't do HIIT on the same day you work out legs, do them on a separate day by themselves.  You can also do this outside on a track.  Anyway, bottom line, ABS ARE MADE IN THE KITCHEN-no junk, processed food :)--good luck

if you want to get "SUPER" abs u have to lose excess fat and skin around your abdominal muscles you do not specifically have to work them out very much at all....just run a lot and focus on losing body fat some people try for years doing 500 situps a day and get nowhere because their body fat is too high therefore the abs cant be seen.....oh and eat healthy low carbs
