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!

running really works the stomach, if you do a combination of crunches, situps, then try twisting your torso when you do a situp that works the obliques, and then lay on the floor and hold your feet a couple inches off the floor and raise them up and when you come down stop a couple inches before you touch the floor that will really work the lower abs

Cardio.  Even if you do a thousand crunches a day, if you dont do any cardio, you'll never see those abs.  While youre doing cardio, make sure you have a healthy diet.\n\nAs for the ab work. Try getting an exercise ball.  Doing crunches on the ball and push ups on the ball is GREAT for your abs.  Pilates is also really good for your abs and obliques.  Make sure youre exercising your obliques as well.

Diet diet diet. that's the secret to great abs. Don't kill yourself with situps and crunches, I mean do 100 every morning strict,\nand cut down on the carbs after 2pm while increasing your protien intake. And when I say protien I mean complete protien\nlike egg whites and whey powder, also make sure you do your cardio and some push ups and pull ups I would not worry about weights untile you get a little older.Good luck

good job. if you'd really like to target the ab area, lay down and put your feet on the wall in front of you. the straighter your legs are, the lower of an area of your abs your targeting. is your knees are bent, your working the upper abs. also buy some free weights so you can lift those when your just hanging around. vitamin water and propel fitness water is good and tastes fruity. that should help your sweet cravings a least a little bit

It really depends on your starting point.\n\nAnd to correct an old myth that never seems to die, sit ups DO NOT GIVE YOU GOOD abs!!!\n\nSitups strengthen your abdominal wall, HOWEVER, if you have a layer of fat covering your abs, you'll never be able to see that six-pack, no matter how strong your abdominal muscles are. Think of heavyweight weightlifters and powerlifters. They're freaky strong, but they have a big gut.\n\nIf you want those abs, focus on your diet.

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.

lay flat on your back, with your hands palm down at your side, put your legs together and lift them off the ground about 6 inches for as long as u can stand it.  this helps to work the lower (harder to tone) abs.

1) Stick to fundamental compound movement exercises. Bench press, squats, deadlifts are probably the best 3. Perform 5 sets of 6 with as much weight as you can handle AND keep good form. Do this twice a week being sure to allow for 2 days rest between sessions. \n\n2) Eat 1 gram of protein per 1 pound of body weight everyday. So if you weight 180lbs, take in around 180grams of protein daily. Chicken and tuna are excellent sources of protein, as are protein shakes (just make sure they are NOT high in fat).\n\n3) Work your abs every other day. It's important to keep your core strong!\n\n4) Rest, rest, rest. Your body needs to repair itself, give it time. Get 8-9 hours each night.\n\nIf you follow those 4 simple pointers, you will get quite strong and fairly quickly.

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

Planks are great for working your core - while on your forearms and knees, clasp your hands together so your forearms make a V. Straighten your legs to balance on your forearms and the balls of your feet. Tighten your buttt and abs and try to maintain a straight line from your shoulders to your heels. Hold for 10 seconds and try to work your way up to 30. Repeat. \n\nBack lifts are also good - lie on your stomach with your hands on your lower back. Raise your chest 3 or 4 inches off the floor while keeping your legs on the floor. Hold for 5 seconds then repeat 10 times at least. \n\nAir Bike - Lie on your back and put your hands behind your head. Raise your legs so your thighs are perpendicular and your lower legs are just above parallel to the floor. Curl up and bring your left elbow toward your right side while drawing your right knee in to meet it. It is like you are riding a bike. Alternate sides, continuing the motion back and forth. Remember, don't just flap your elbow across your body, actually rotate your shoulder across and squeeze your abs.\n\nAlternate heel touchers - Works your obliques. In order to complete 1 repetition, each heel must be touched once. So, get into position, crunch over and touch your right heel once, then crunch over and touch your left heel once, and now you've completed 1 repetition. Lie down on the floor. Bend your knees and keep your feet 18-24 inches apart. Keep your arms straight down at your sides. Crunch forward and up about 3-4 inches. Remember to keep your lower back pressed flat against the ground. Keep your head in a neutral position. Alternate touching your right heel and then your left heel. Remember, touching each heel once is one rep!\n\nBent knee Hip raise - This is like the Reverse Crunch but with a longer range of motion. Outstretch your hands to your sides with your knees bent at a 60 degree angle and your feet just off the floor. Using your lower abs, roll your pelvis backward to raise your hips off of the floor. Your knees will be over your chest. Squeeze your abs and then return to the starting position slowly. You can straighten your legs to make it harder or wear ankle weights.\n\nButtt Ups - Begin a pushup position but with your elbows on the ground and resting on your forearms. Your elbows should be bent at a 90 degree angle. Arch your back slightly out rather than keeping your back completely straight. Raise your glutes toward the ceiling, squeezing your abs tightly to close the distance between your ribcage and hips so you end up in a high bridge position. Lower back down slowly to your starting position. Repeat. Don't let your back sag downwards.\n\nCross body crunches - Lie on your back and bend your knees about 60 degrees and keep your feet flat on the floor. Place your hands loosely behind your head. Curl up and bring your right elbow and shoulder across your body while bring your left knee in toward your left shoulder at the same time. Reach with your elbow and try to touch your knee. Do one side for all your reps, then switch to the other side. Try to bring your shoulder up towards your knee rather than just your elbow.\n\nCrunches - hands over head -This variation makes it tougher than regular crunches. Lie on the floor with your knees bent. Keep your feet flat on the floor. Stretch your arms overhead and cross your palms. Curl your upper body forward and bring your shoulder blades just off the floor. Keep your arms aligned with your head, neck and shoulder. Don't move them forward from that position! Slowly lower down after squeezing your abs tight\n\nCrunches - Lie flat on your back with your feet flat on the ground, or resting on a bench with your knees bent at a 90 degree angle. If you are resting your feet on a bench, place them three to four inches apart and point your toes inward so they touch. Place your hands lightly on either side of your head keeping your elbows in. Don't lock your fingers behind your head! Push the small of your

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!

To show off your abs, you need to burn off the layer of fat that is covering them. To do this you need to go on a calorie restricted diet and do a lot of exercise including cardio and sit ups. The layer of fat will not go away by simply doing sit ups and crunches. For more information on how to get abs, visit http://straighthealth.com
