bittersweet12 answered Monday February 6 2006, 10:21 pm: hey, i obviuosly cant expalin every great ab thing on this(wayyy to long) but here are some very helpfull tips that you should follow:
-dont work on your abs every day, after a while the same thing repeatidly will become useless and unaffective. try doing only 3-4 times a week no more.
-dont only do situps, to get a flat stomach you need to work every part of your abs including your obliques which are pretty much your waist and hips. do knee to knee crunches and other forms of ab workouts
-alos to help lose the weight walk dont run around your block or w/e a few times on the days you dont do the other exercises.
goodluck, -kim [ bittersweet12's advice column | Ask bittersweet12 A Question ]

Try other excersis. Sit up are designed for one part of your abs while other exercises are designed for other parts. There are your upper abs, lower abs, middle, and obliques (thesides/hip/love handles if u have em) my favorite are leg raises. Lay flat on your backhand to the side and with straight legs lift both together into the air then come back down slowly bBUT DO NOT TOUCH THE GROUND! then go back up. I do about 20-25 a night but i have been doing them every night for a long time so start of with about 10 and go up as you get more comfortable. Also posture is impartant! the straighter up you stand the slimmer and trimmer you look. So back straight shoulder out and walk like you mean it haha.
Hope I helped <3
