lose overall body fat. that’s the best and only way, unless you want to go under the knife. crunches only will help you develop abdominal muscles, making them bigger, giving you a bigger stomach.

A zero fat diet, lots of fluids, exercise, and proper posture worked for me, until I got pregnant again. I’ll be back to the grind in December!!
BTW when I did crunches and stuff like that, my belly got BIGGER!!

If you have fat, the fat is still going to be there, even if you have 6-pack abs underneath.
You’ll have to burn off all your fat, and unfortunately, you can’t spot-burn your stomach off – you’ll have to work it ALL off.
If you’re lean, however, and you want big and defined abs, then treat them exactly as you would any other muscles: high resistance, low rep. Get lots of protein.

If you have fat then you need to burn that first. You should do a lot of cardio (running is the best for that), but you also can’t take in more calories than you’re burning, so you need to eat right as well. And also do ab crunches twice a day to keep your abdominal muscles in shape, best is in the morning and right before you go to bed (if abs are really what you want to focus on).
Best of luck!

Exercise, eat right. Do cardio workouts where you get your heart rate up to at least 120-130 for about 20 minutes or more each day. Eat lots of fiber rich foods and lean protein. Drink lots of water each day. Incorporate yoga into your daily routine.

The best way to get a flat stomach is to eat a balanced diet and go on a healthy diet plan such as Weight Watchers and then focus on ab exercises. If you stick to this for at least a month you should see a significant change to your stomach.

It won’t show if you have a lot of fat on your stomach. To burn that fat, do some cardio, and then do some sit-ups to tone your stomach.

For your first question, crunches only work the top of your abs, and sit ups work all of your abs, but you have to do LOTS of them and correctly, otherwise it doesn’t really work you. Good ab exercises are….
V Ups (Touch your feet to your hands, so only your bottom is on the ground)
Russian Twists (turning your whole abdomen in this)- sitting on your bottm and moving your hands to each side of you with your feet up
Planks (if you are really good, try them for 2 minutes)
Bicycles (Touch opposite knee to opposite elbow while on your back)
Row Boats (Again, on your bum and bringing your chest to your knees, then back out again)
Leg Lifts
Try doing 10 of each 3 times through. Also, you of course know to eat healthy, drink lots of water, and stretching really helps everything.

Focusing on your abdomen , yes like you say crunches, sit ups with your arms down your side, leaning down touching your toes, also eating cabbage soup will quickly burn the fat. If you’re not too sure of the recipe of cabbage soup or the types of exercises I’ve posted the links

The best way to get flat stomach is to practice these three great habits.
1 Cardiovascular exercise – to burn fats
2 Flat stomach exercise – to shape up
3 Diet – more healthy and tasty fibers
Cardiovascular exercise – Do it least 30 minutes because your body will only begin burning fat after about 20 minutes of exercise. If you stop before the 20 minutes are up, you will not have accomplished much fat burning!
Flat stomach exercise – what works – basic crunch, crunch with crossed legs, oblique rotations, let flutters, and reverse crunch.
Diet – tasty fibers and a pinch of cravings from time to time, sometimes (once a week, just for sinful taste) rewarding yourself for all your hard work encourage healthy and happy body.

Cardio!
Hour a day :p

I’ve been doing the following exercises for about 3 weeks now, and it is working wonders! I had some extra weight around my middle, and now I’m seeing the ab muscles more and more.
It doesn’t take long at all and is very effective. Take a deep breath and hold it. Tighten up your abs as hard as you can while slowly exhaling. Keep your abs REALLY TIGHT for 30 seconds if you can (being sure to exhale throughout — and inhaling as needed — you don’t want to pass out by not breathing). Repeat this a few times. Later on in the day, do it again, only this time from a slouching position or lean forward. You can vary this a bit, too, but giving attention to your side (love handle) area. You can even do them again at odd moments of the day if you want.
And that’s it! Do these again each day.
The link below has a similar exercise for the abs, too. I recommend you check this one out as well. I do both exercises.
So you can do these. All I can do is tell you what I personally have done. And this works for me. I wish you well.
