First and foremost you can not spot reduce fat, period. If you want your abs to show, if there is a layer of fat covering them no matter how much ab work you do they will not show through. So if you're hell bent on seeing the abs cut back your calories and do more cardio. \n\nAs far as good exercises for abs, reverse crunches, leg raises, bicycle crunches. \n\nI hit abs 3xwk while bulking, although they don't show as well when I'm heavier I find keeping a strong mid-section aids in other lifts like squats, deads and military press. \n\nWhen dieting the training jumps up to 5x wk. \n\nDrink water, water, and then more water. \nUse a medicine ball between your legs when doing the crunches. Be sure to go slow and blow all the air out on your contraction. \n\nAlso remember the abs grow below the fat, so they can get larger making your belly appear larger, but you're not gonna see them unless your diet is real clean.

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.

You can do various isometric exercises as simple as contracting the muscle against anything that can resist it.  Pull and push against the steering wheel; squeeze your buttocks against the seat, look for anything in the truck you can pull or push on.  \n\nYou can also do contractions for you stomach muscle and abs; pull your stomach against the back of the seat as if you were punched in the stomach, hold it as tightly as possible for twenty seconds, then reverse your pelvis imagining there is a cord attached to your belly button pulling it forward, letting this action progress through all of your vertebrae until you are slightly arched in the upper back and then repeat.  \n\nDon’t forget to breath while doing your exercises; incorporate breathing into the exercise.

nothing is going to get the tummy flat but diet and exercise.  Don't believe crunches alone will do it.  Crunches will strengthen the abdominal muscles but will not get rid of the fat.  It is fat on top of the muscles that makes the tummy protrude.  I would suggest removing crabs from your diet and increase the proteins.  Breads would include, pasta, breads, rice, and potatoes. you will get enough carb intakes from fruits...but stay away from bananas.

I suggest sit ups. Put your toes under the edge of a something that wont move easy like a couch or stuffed chair (It should be 1 to 2 inches off the floor) bend your knees about 45 degree angel lock your hands behind your head lay back and start to do sit ups. Don't over do it! Do as many as you can do up to 20 no less than 2 times a day. You can start your day with them, and then before bed. You can do them more often. If you cant do 20 your mussels will more than likely be sore when you first start. Speed is not important use your stomach mussels to raise up and let your self down.

Situps/abdominal crunches are definately the key to tightening your stomach, you can also try leg raises where you lie flat on the floor are lift your legs slowly about 1 metre high.\n\nFor your arms try lifting some weights, light ones like a can of dog food if you havent done it before. Do this as many times as you can but slowly, that should help.

Isolation of tummy exercises won't resolve the issue. Most people carry weight around some part of their body. This happens to be your area. You are lucky cause you can hide it! I would suggest to reduce your fat and sugar intake cause that would assist with the diet. \n\nGo running twice a week for two hours. Do spin and boxing classes and refer to the website for some weight training and ab exercises: www.bodybuilding.com\n\nMake sure you eat all low fat low calorie dairy as well! Be persistent cause if you do you'll see the results. \n\nGoodluck!

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.

There's no substitute for exercise, unless you eat so much more as to offset the advantage.  For the tummy, sit-ups are good.

Lay on an exercise ball, tummy down so your lower pelvis is resting on the ball.  Support and stabalize yourself with your forearms.  As best as possible, put the soles of your feet together so your legs are in the 'frog' position then lift your feet being sure to squeeze your butt cheeks.  Do 12-18 repititions and 3 sets.  Lunges are also great.  Stationery or traveling lunges, with or without weights. Good Luck!

it sounds strange, but for real, try this exercise. Lay on your back, arms out to the sides. Bend your knees up and with your feet together, make figure eights in the air. Do as many as you can every day.  It tightens your stomach muscles.

I know ALOT of ways that are easy for you to do to lose some weight healthy and very fast. \n  \n   For a great bikini body, exercise your core; curls and scrunches all are great to tone down your tummy. \n\n\n    For that annoying bloated look below your belly button, lower stomach exercises can be laying on the floor and raising your legs slowly up and down. Hovering is also an amazing routine for killer abs.\n\nAlso for that lower stomach, cut out extra carbs like lots of white bread, stay away from un-natural sugar, drink water when you have a craving to snack. \n\nAlso, small time sets of hard core fast arobics less than 5 minutes that are really heart rate stimulating will boost your metabolism TUNS!
