Use a ab trainer to do crunches with, alternatively you could use a medicine ball as weight to use when doing situps...

1. Regular cardio exercise
2. Strength Training for the ENTIRE BODY (treating the abs just like any other muscle in the body)
3. A healthy, low-calorie diet
You must get all three of these (especially your diet) right on a consistent basis in order to even get close to flat abs.
And, something else important: If you've lost body fat and you still don't have flat abs, don't be terribly surprised. Many of us will never see that six-pack because:
* The body fat level required to get flat abs is lower than you can sustain with your current lifestyle/schedule, or
* The body fat level required is lower than is healthy for your body to function.

5 Facts You MUST Understand if You Are Ever Going to Lose Your Belly Fat and Get Six Pack Abs
1. Many so-called "health foods" are actually cleverly disguised junk foods that actually stimulate you to gain more belly fat... yet the diet food marketing industry continues to lie to you so they can maximize their profits.
2. Ab exercises like crunches, sit-ups, and ab machines are the LEAST effective method of getting flat six pack abs. We'll explore what types of exercises REALLY work in a minute.
3. Boring repetitive cardio exercise routines are NOT the best way to lose body fat and uncover those six pack abs. I'll show you the exact types of unique workouts that produce 10x better results below.
4. You DON'T need to waste your money on expensive "extreme fat burner" pills (that don't work) or other bogus supplements. A special class of natural foods is much more effective. I'll tell you about these natural foods and their powers below.
5. Ab belts, ab-rockers, ab-loungers, and other infomercial ab-gimmicks... they're all a complete waste of your time and money. Despite the misleading infomercials, the perfectly chiseled fitness models in the commercials did NOT get their perfect body by using that "ab contraption"... they got their perfect body through REAL workouts and REAL nutrition strategies. Again, you'll learn some of their secrets and what really works below.

Have you ever thought of belly dancing?
Belly dance, like pilates, works on moving different muscles in isolation. Belly dance is a perfect for toning those tricky “core” muscles, improving strength and flexibility, and, as with all dance forms, gives a fantastic cardio work out. It can be as high or low impact as you want making it suitable for a range of people. Plus, you also get to learn some pretty cool dance moves!
After my first lesson I could definitely feel the results in my stomach and bum, and my lower back felt relaxed.
