1) Have a good diet- washboard abs can be hidden if you have 8-10% body fat or more\n2) Exercise- Cardiovascular and Ab specific workouts 3-5 days a week\n3) Have good genetics because a lot of 'having great abs' is genetic.\n\nGood luck in your quest to rock hard abs and there benefits!

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.

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.

well first cut out carbs,it seems to bloat the belly and stores fat there.also drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.do not do sit ups right away because it will only build muscle under the fat and will make your stomach look bigger.try walking at least 30 minutes a day and work aerobics in your schedule about 3 times a week.

Crunches are great for abs.Lie on your back bring knees to chest and hold them there,now try to rise your shoulders off the floor.Backwards leg lifts are great for toning your backside.Get on all fours and extend one leg,bending it at the knee,while leg is bent push your heel upwards.Lunges are also great.Stand with feet slightly apart,step forward with on leg,bending at the knee with both.You should do at least 5 sets of 10 on these.If you feel you can do more,Go for it.GOOD LUCK!!!

do lots of push ups, for example if u can only do 10 at 1st, then keep doing 10 until its easy. then go for 15 then 20 and so forth. do the same with sit ups as well

sit ups.. start off with a set of 10 to the middle.. rest... 10 to the left... rest.. 10 to the right.. make sure you do them with your back straight otherwise they will be useless...\n\nonce you get used yto the 10 after a few days increase the number you do in a day.. \n\nMake sure you eat a healthy diet and dont over eat at all eat untill you feel satisfied not full... \n\na bit of a cheat is to stock up on just water a couple of days before hand.. flooding your bod with water flushes out a lot heavier metals in the blood which will reduce alot of weight rapidly but is only a quick fix and very un-healthy to do...\n\nalso with the sit ups if you want to take it up a notch my personal trick is to get someone to hold your feet while you do them off the end of the bed...\n\nGood luck

Sit-ups are good.  Also try doing this sit-up variation—lay on your back, put your hands behind you head, bring you knees up to your chest.  Then stretch one leg out straight (lets say the right one), making sure that it does not touch the floor but remains parallel to it. Leave your left leg bent against your chest.  Take your right elbow across and touch your bent left knee.  Then bring your right leg back up to your chest, stretch out you left leg and take your right elbow across to touch your bent right knee.  This exercises most of the muscles in your chest and abdomen as well as the muscles in your back.

Focus on your weaker spots, whatever they may be.  If you want to tone your stomach, do some crunches or sit-ups.  If you want to work on your biceps, try some pull-ups (using a bar, not wearing the training pants).  If you want to tone your triceps, do some elevated push-ups (put your feet up on a stool or bench, then do the push-up the way you normally would.\n\nIf your problem is the love handles (like the ones I fight constantly), try doing sit-ups, but touch your right elbow to your left knee, and vice versa.  It attacks that area.\n\nAlso, don't rule out jogging as a method of improving your cardiovascular stamina for all the above exercises.

My dad had me and my brothers do some whacked out ab workout program when i was 12, it entailed doing 1000 crunches every other day.  Of course not 1000 straight, but more in sets, like 200 of legs lifted crunches, 200 legs spread apart crunches, 100 booty lifts with your legs 90 degrees from the ground, 200 bicycle kicks, 100 flutter kicks, 100 kick offs, aaand 100 leg lift offs.....we did that for about 2 to 3 weeks, and around the 3rd week i had freakin abs of steel.  Takes a long ass time though, normally the workouts entailed up to 3 hrs, and your stomach will feel like someone literally ripped you open.  Of course now i've read that apparently doing TOO many crunches can weaken your stomach muscles, which can cause injuries to occur easier such as hernias and what not.....but if you eat right, strecth before and after these exercises, and take your time and focuson the muscles, and not the quick get it out the way kind, you'll have abs of steel again in no time.   Just gotta stick to the program for at least a month.

Do lots of tummy firming exercises such as sit-ups/crunches, reverse crunces, bicycle (alternate legs, back and forth off the ground whilst lying on your back). Also, try to pull your stomach in slightly/lock on your abs at all times (whenever you remember at first, until it becomes automatic). Especially ensure you do this while exercising. Good luck!

If you just do crunches but no other exercises, it can actually serve to push out your belly more.  Also, diet can be a big factor.\n\nPresuming you are eating a good, balance, low calorie diet, you may want to try adding some other exercises to the mix including those that will exercise your lats (try lying on the floor, bending your knees to bring your feet up to your butt, then lift you head and shoulder while reaching with your left hand to your left ankle, clenching your side muscles.  Repeat 10 times then do the same on your right side)\n\nAlso, working your lower back can also help tighten your whole core area, pulling your stomach in.

start doing crunches.  And do them different ways, i.e., lay on your side and have your head looking up at the ceiling, the normal way, and don't forget to work on your lower abdomen by laying flat and lifting your legs up.  You need to start with an amount that you can handle, until your stomach muscles are screaming, then roll over and lay on your stomach and lift your upper body off the floor arching your back to stretch them out for a smidge.  Work your way up to about 100-200 a day.  You'll be looking good in no time.

Try laying flat on your back and raise your legs until your heels are about 2-3 inches off the floor, and hold them there for as long as you can.  Do it as often as you like but be prepared for sore muscles in you stomach.

If you are looking only for a flat stomach, I would suggest doing a lot of cardiovascular exercise.  Do cardio 5-6 times a week with about 45 minutes sessions at moderate/high intensity (switching during intervals).\n\nIf you want to tone your stomach, do crunches, pelvic tilts, and twisting exercises holding weight plate with both hands to build your obliques too.  I would avoid leg lifts unless your back can handle them.  It can put undue stress on your back.  Also, I would suggest strengthing your back too.  It will help balance your abdominals.
