Concentrating solely on exercising your abdominal muscles will not do much for your figure.  Keeping your body fat low will bring out the best of your abs.  So far as strength training squats and lunges will do the most for your figure.  Your best bet would be to stick with crunches because they are pretty good, but don't over do it.

if you already have a cardio routine keep doing that and maybe step it up a level and i hear that reverse crunches work pretty well.(those are the kind where you pull your knees into your chest)

You are in luck. The best exercises for abdominals don't require machines.  \n\nTry doing regular abdominal crunches..lay down and bend your knees up until your feet are flat against the floor..cross your arms, raise your torso and hold each repetition for a second or two.  Then, lower. Repeat.  Do about 15-20 reps. If this gets too easy for you I would try adding a weight plate across your chest.\n\nThere are other exercises too.  For obliques (sides of around your abs), be in the same position as if you were in a crunch.  Get a dumbell plate or ball.  Hold out in front with your arms fully extended. Lean your torso up a bit and twist from side to side. This is one rep. Do 15-20 reps. \n\nFor lower abs, I would try doing pelvic tilt.  Be in same position as crunch.  Except now, raise your lower body towards your chest.  Lower back. Repeat. Do 15-20 repetitions.\n\nThese exercises are suggestions for toning your stomach.  It should work your abs and stomach. In fact, I do them myself.\n\nHowever, in order to get a flat stomach...you need to do cardio.  Do biking, running, jogging, or even brisk walking 45 minutes 5-6 times a week to get rid of belly fat.  \n\nGood luck.

I find that a mix of exercises is best, you've got a lot of ab muscles and should try to work the majority of them to get an even muscle spread.\n\nI usually tend to do cycling crunches, where you lift your left elbow and right leg and vice versa.  Followed by a set of twisting crunches, a set of normal crunches, a set of double leg raises and finish with some lying bridges and back raises.\n\nSit ups tend to work your hip extensors more than the abs, ab crunches can do the job.  Beware though; over working your abs can do more harm than good, working them every other day is more than enough.\n\nBut you could also leave the crunches and get swimming :)

crunches and push ups, for crunches you only bend your stomache upwards, as if u were crushing nuts on ur belly, dont do situps, bad for the lower back\nnow push-ups are good, and there are differemt kinds for different muscles!\nok so we start with your hands shoulder width apart. this works out your chest. next you put your hands very close together, touching, as if your making a diamond with your hands. this works out mainly your triceps. next put your hands further out then shoulder width. this workd out shoulders and a little bit of your back. obviousely all are push ups so they work out your chest always. for added dificulty put your feet on a chair to do them, this applys more weigh. it also works out upper chest rather than mid chest, same deal if u elevate your front half, but only slightly on this one because this aleviates weight, the higher this slant the easier, but it works lower chest\n\nhopes this helps with ur limited space

Crunches and lots of exercise. Ya gotta move it to lose it!

a few good exercises for you:\n1) when you are doing your crunches, twist. bring your right elbow to your left knee.\n2) hold a weight bar over your head (with only enough weight to make you focus on stability, not much) then, standing with feet shoulder width apart, bring the bar to your left side, then back up, then over to the right side. you are only moving your upper body side to side.\n3)the best excercise (hurts like a mofo) is the side plank. just like the normal plank, but turn to your side. lay on the floor and hold all body weight on your forearm and balance yourself on your forearm and foot. hold this for anywhere from 30sec-1min. i promise you will feel it! =)\n\nGood luck to you =)

The best book on abdominal exercises I have come across is called "Combat Abs" by Matt Fuery.  You will also want what's known as a Power Wheel.  These are low rep workouts that will kick your ass.  Quite frankly, they are the only thing I've found that are effective for abdominals (hi-rep is worthless).

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

Do crunches and sit-ups.

Well, that's kind of what doing sit-ups is supposed to do :) Try doing crunches instead.  Lay on your back with your legs either resting on a bench or a bed, put your hands behind your head, and use your abs to pull your shoulder blades off the ground.  It'll work mainly your upper abs, so try to supplement by doing some bike work or knee tucks, flutter kicks, etc., for your lower abs.

Sit ups are a fantastic way to get abs. However, i suggest buying an excercise ball to do these, so you don't have to get on the ground and cause injury (it will come with instructions, so you can choose the best position for you). The ball is pretty cheap aswell. Do about 40 sets a day, it really does WORK!

Try Men's health magazine or the Abs diet book they both give you quick ways to abs.  Good luck and have fun working out!

lay on the floor and have someone stand over you with a foot by each of your shoulders.  Keep your legs straight and raise your feet up so that your legs are straight up and down.  Now have the person push your feet (kind of a throwing motion) back toward the floor quite forcefully.  You have to use your low abs to stop them from hitting the floor and then quickly bring them back up again.  Do this about 50 times a day and you will have awesome abs!!!  It really works

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
