ab lounge will work, but it requires alot of repitions and you must do it completely the full way. Basically, its a crunch with someone helping you. I would start doing it then move to the crunches

Lots and lots of sit ups. I did about 300 a day \nfor about a month or two and it worked

YES it does!! It targets ALL of your ab muscle groups instead of just one group as you would from traditional crunches. It's inexpensive and it doesn't hurt your neck or back like floor crunches/sit-ups do. But make sure you incorporate cardio in your exercise routine...if you don't you are just building muscle under fat.

the first answer is good.  they are not fun, you will know something is up.  i had one, it made part of my stomach bulge out, by the appendix was where mine was.  you can get them by too much stress in lifting, you blow out a lining inside and what the lining was holding protrudes out.  you would have to get a surgical procedure to fix it

Crunches will not help you lose weight (not aerobic enough), but they will help you firm things up in the mid-section as you lose the wight through other means. (Running, swimming, cardio, eating less...)

you are normal, but if you really want to reduce your waist, there are a few things you can do.  ab exercises are always good.  if you can't feel any fat, then you should be able to see rippled abs that look like dinner buns.  a quick way to reduce abs over night is to wrap saran wrap around your midsection over night, just don't wrap too tight.  this will make your midsection sweat while you sleep.

You need to do a lot of crunches, or if you have access to an ab lounger, it works beautifully without back pain. Good Luck!

Crunches work great.\nHowever, all the crunches in the world will not REVEAL a six pack if it is hidden under fat. \nEat right & do cardio (running is the most effective thing).

There is a product on the market called the Ab-Lounger.  You might want to check into this.  Use Ab-Lounger as your keyword.

No. The Ab Lounge is the best ab machine on the market. The best part about it is that you can buy it at Wal-Mart. As for other machines, I suggest the Total Gym. I have one and it works VERY well.

Diet and exercise. However due to the musculature of the abdomen, you will not get a completely flat stomach. Muscles do protrude. :) The Ab-Lounge works well ONLY for the front abdominal muscles. If you want to work your obliques, try a series of crunches by your knee to the opposite side of your head. Also, to protect your neck, do NOT put your hands behind your head, and always look at the ceiling so that you are using the right muscles; abs NOT back.

My friend bought the new Ab Lounge XL a week ago. She says that the ab lounge does help you do ab excercises easier but you can't see any of that ab without doing aerobic excercises as well. So the Ab Lounge is only effective with a good balanced diet, good aerobic excercising, and patience.

You can push back from the table, eating less & crunches will do the job.  I'm not talking about using machines or products that assist you in doing crunches, I'm talking about holding your legs in the air and coming up with your upper body.  It will work, I do a hundred a day.  Hurts like heck but is def worth it!  No pain, no gain.  Simple as that.
