Hey I was wondering, do you guys know any good workout machines? One time i saw this exercize thing on T.V. being advertised and it made you do crunches and it works really good. And i want to know if anyone knows any good machines that help you work out your abs at a reasonable price. Thanks!

There is NO magic diet, NO amazing gismo, or NO miracle pill that will give you the body you seek.
What has worked for me for abs is doing crunches with weights on my ankles and a weight plate on my chest. For starters you can use a heavy book and hold it on your chest with your arms crossed over it. Use a weight heavy enough so you can only do 8 to 10 reps. do this for 3 sets twice one day (morning and evening) then rest them the next day. The rest day is necessary because exercising doesn't build the muscle, it tears them down. What builds the muscle is the repairs that the body makes while resting.
This will build your outer abs. Another exercise you will want to do is called Vacuums. You get on your hands and knees push all the air out of your lungs and suck your stomach in like your trying to touch your belly button to your spine. What this does is build the muscles on then Inside and creates great definition. Arnold Schwartzenegger used this religiously to create amazing definition in his abs.
