no it doesn't make your abs ripped but it does make the fat over the abs go aways which helps people see your six pack. Every one has a six pack abs but most people have fat over their abs which hides the muscles.

I agree!!! It's doesn't help you lose your belly. You should really consider doing cardio exercises at least 3 times a week; along with jogging. You will see better results instead. Drink a lot of water too. Try this website below. It will tell you a lot about ab workouts. It help me alot.

yep, crunches or sit ups.  U don't have to lay all the way down on the floor, clasp your hands behind your head and then just bring your shoulders up to your knees that are bent and then don't go all the way back down on the floor.  That is the way they do it in the military and man it works, hurts like the dickens, but works.  Good nutrition and drinking lots of water does help but exercise will tighten up those muscles and your belly will be flat before u know it!

Running is great cardio and getting in overall good tone.\nYou've probably noticed your defintion is pretty good in the legs and glutes.\nOn being more 'buff', do you mean wish you had better definition in all muscle groups?\nIf so, then you need to go to the gym, do resistance training and increase the protien in your diet.  Get good massages after strenuous sessions and you will not ache so much.

The best way to a flat stomach is running followed by crunches.  The trick is mind over matter.  The goal usually is to work out the least amount of time while getting the best results.  The secret= HEART.  120% effort maximizes results while decreasing the amount of time needed.  You can not BS yourself doing low comfortable speeds on the treadmill. In order to get the best results in business, life, and fitness; you have to push yourself.  Example, say I normally run 2 miles at speed 6 on the mill; next time I get on I put the mill upto 7.5 and run 1.5 miles.  The most valuable lesson I ever got taught was that when you think your done, you let your heart and mind tell you, you got 3 more (and do not settle for anything less).  Back to a flat stomach, 3 days a week running less as you push yourself to go faster accompanied by 150 crunches. Hopefully this helps you.

Forget the treadmill.\n\nInstead, get a yoga ball and trash your normal chair.  Sit with good posture on the ball while you compute; this strengthens stomach.  Every 10 minutes do a quick set of 10 reps <sit-up's - push-up's - leg lifts - etc>.

body fat can be lost thru aerobic activity. When you want to add muscle to a certain part of your body...you can. However, it is not possible to lose fat in certain areas...ie, you cannot direct the fat loss to your stomach and hips. Eat a little less in the way of hi glycemic foods (google it) and eat a little more protein. Exercise a little more...one answer here recommended running which I absolutely agree with. A longer, medium paced run is MUCH better than a shorter faster run. Your body will learn to burn fat as fuel (especially if you cut down on higher sugar/carb type foods) and you WILL LOSE THE FAT. It will be physically impossible for your body not to lose it. Good luck and be patient!

I do crunches, push-ups, flutter kicks, sit-ups (regular & sitting v-ups), jumping jacks, etc. The ones that focus on my stomach are the sit-ups, crunches, and flutter kicks. What you might be missing that is a very important factor that is usually skipped is cardiovascular exercises. Are you including running in your exercise routine? If not, that might be the problem. If you are including cardiovascular exercises, the reason you might not be losing the belly fat might simply be due to your diet. Exercise and diet go hand in hand. I didn't lose anything until I changed my diet and I worked out everyday. If you are including cardiovascular exercises and you are eating healthy all you probably need is persistence and patience and that extra tummy will be gone in no time.

Run at least three miles daily.  Remember that while you're running, kick it up a notch and do a fast sprint for thirty seconds, then return to a good jogging pace.  Do fifty squat jumps daily to work out your thighs and lower body.  Doing sit-ups should also help, but if you run enough, the fat will burn off.  Running is the most important work-out you can do.

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.

running, jogging or walking.  these exercises use significant amounts energy, sit ups though they will build muscle in the abdomen, will not necessarily remove the fat, which the body stores for later use. but it does not store solely for use by the abdomen. Accompanying this you must reduce your diet accordingly because if you continue to eat enough to meet your energy needs your body will not use its reserves.

Well it sounds like you're pretty fit already. You do alot of running which is great cardio and it really works your legs. But do you pay attention to ur abs? Do you do crunches or sit ups? There are other exercises you can do, too! Like hang from a bar by your hands keeping your arms straight, cross your legs and try to raise them to your chest. Or, while keeping your legs straight, lie down with a medicine ball between your feet and raise your legs so that your legs and your abdomen make a 90 degree angle. There are plenty of things you can do to get those abs!\n\nGOOD LUCK!

I am a male, but this method helped ALOT for me.\nI was skinny, with a "fat stomach" until high school soccer started.  Running 1 mile-1 mile and a half each day with a following 2 hour practice helped.\n\nSo I am saying you don't have to do what I did...but just, make a healthy diet, and start running! Running is actually very relaxing (for me), and it will help ALOT in losing that stomach fat.\n\nBecause of soccer last fall, I lost my stomach fat, and I have been going on about two 5 mile runs each week since then, keeping it off. \n\nTrust me, it helps.

Walk or run outside several times a week, it's free. Try going up and down a few flights of steps each time too. Crunches or situps on the days you don't run--- it'll help flatten your tummy.  Pushups to tone your arms.  Or.... pop in a great CD or organize your favorite MP3s into a collection that has some peppy songs you can dance to and make up your own aerobics routing.  All kinds of thins to do, the hardest part is getting motivated to do it!! Good luck!
