Abs I really want to tone up my stomach for summer. Does anyone know any really good exercises to help me achieve this? Thanks a lot.

It depends on what your going for, and where your coming from.
If you're trying to get rid of a little flab, "target exercises" don't work. Doing crunches to get rid of your tummy flab, or squats to get rid of your butt dimples. However, doing those exercises WILL make those areas look good after the flab is gone. To get rid of the flab you have to burn more calories than you take in.
If you want tone; less weight/repetitions, more sets.
If you want to build muscle; more weight(or reps), less sets.
The woman with the most killer abs I have ever seen (and by killer I mean toned and sexy, not bulky) said that she ran/jogged a lot and did inverted sit ups, which are upside down sit ups where you hang from the ceiling and pull your body upwards. ]
sit ups sit ups sit ups.
do like 25 regular
25 with your legs up in the air
25 with your legs leaning to the right
25 with your legs leaning to the left
25 reaching through your legs
25 laying on your back and lifting your legs up
GOOD LUCK! ]
