To tone up your abs, you have to do a combination of work outs rather than just sit up type of work outs. Cardio is very important, so jog or walk a lot! It breaks down fat tissue and it helps to let your muscles under your fat on your stomach show.
Here's a really good website.

Half of the excersizes i said she should do were for the abs, but I'll single them out for you:
*Pushups
*2:00 of plank

*50 crunches
*30 sit ups
*another 15 pushups.
THis one I didn't put: 6 inch leg raise. SOOOO hard I can barely do it for a minute. Its becasue I'm very skinny so I like cant stay down i like float up haha its wierd. anywaaaaaays this is what it looks like if you don't know:

Youll get good abs very quicklty if you go through this excersize twice a day.

try the plank.
position #1: lie prone on the floor, then push yourself up with your forearms and tippy toes on the ground. keep your body in a straight line; people have a tendency to raise there butt in the air. (it should like like a push-up, but with your arms on the ground).
postion #2: rotate your body onto it's left side, so that one forearm is on the ground. your hip and side should now be in line with the ground; continue to keep your body in a straight line.
postion #3: it's the same movements as in positon #2, except rotate your body to it's right this time.
two-minute sets:
hold postion #1 for 30 seconds. without dropping to the floor rotate over to postion #2, and hold for 30 seconds. return back to postion #1 for 30 seconds. rotate to positon #3 for 30 seconds, and then rotate back to position #1 for the last 30 seconds.
(if you have to, start off with 15 seconds and work your way up to 30 seconds.)
if this exercise hurts your back or shoulders, try isolated crunches. i recomend toning both back and shoulders as well.
