   Use a fitball. Muscle is built on the stretch, not the retraction, therefore if you do any sort of crunches on a fitball rather than on a flat floor, you work the abdominals more. As well as centred crunches, you should do twists to work the obliques and reduce your waistline (Hand crosses over to opposite knee). As you get stronger, work with a 5kg weight on your chest. I also do situps with a weight which I put on the ground over my head and lift it as I sit up – this works the upper muscles into the ribcage very quickly.

   On top of the exercises you do, it helps to reduce your fat intake and add a cardio element to your training to burn excess fat on your tummy which can hide firm muscle underneath. Hope this helps.

   Here’s the best tips I can think of to transform your abs into the best shape possible…
   1.) Perform one hour of Cardio daily…Activities such as: Kickboxing, Aerobics, Step-Aerobics, Running, Stair Climbing, Jumping Rope, and Cycling are some good examples…Cardio burns fat, in turn–will help burn any layers of flab covering you ab muscles…
   2.) Ab exercises that also target your core will definitely help!
   I will list some really effective ab/core exercises & a following link to view a demo & description of that particular exercise. For each of the following, perform about 1-3 sets of 12-15 reps of each exercise. Do this Ab Circuit about 3-4 days out of each week.
   *Ab Circuit:
   a.) Sit-ups – Lie down on your back with your knees bent, raise your torso off the ground sliding your fingers along the tops of your thighs up to the top of your knees. Start with one or two and build up to a minute.
   *Demo: http://www.abc.net.au/northqld/stories/sit_ups_m1023444.jpg
   b.) Oblique Twists – Lean back seated on the floor, with legs slightly bent, with or without holding a medicine ball (or dumbell weight) in front of you at chest level. Rotate to the right reaching the ball towards the ground to the right of you.
   Return to the starting position & repeat to the other side.

   c.) Diagonal Knee “Smash” – Basically this is standing up, and pulling your knee in towards the opposite side of your body…This will target the love handles, as well as your core:
   You will find this exercise here: http://exercise.about.com/library/bllowimpactcardioblast1.htm
   d.) Lying Side Crunch: Lie with your back on the floor with your knees bent. Let your knees fall to the right so that your hips are somewhat rotated. Leading with the chin and left shoulder, contract abdominal muscles and raise left shoulder off floor or bench towards left knee. Return to start position. Repeat with other side…Demo: http://www.fitnessgenerator.com/images/exercises/side_crunch.gif
   e.) Mountain Climbers: Start by getting on your hands and feet in a prone position. Keeping your body parallel to ground drive your knees up towards your chest alternating back and forth. FYI: This is my one my personal favorite exercises!

   Also…your diet cannot be ignored either when gearing up for six-pack abs…Especially since it’s recommended that your body fat must be at (or below) 10% in order to obtain really noticeable, finely sculpted abs…So, I suggest you eat a diet high in fiber (foods such as: veggies, fruits, whole-grain breads, pastas, and rice), and low in fat: (ie: low-fat dairy products & lean proteins)…Also try to eat several mini meals a day, and do not go more than four hours throughout the day without eating something…Be sure to after a workout–preferably something high in (lean) protein…This will help you speed up your metabolism, and therefore burn fat at faster rate!! Also, drink plenty of water throughout the day..
