This summer I would like to trim my stomach. Its uncomfortable and unattracting. What SPECIFIC ways could I lose it? I do not like running. However I like to ride my bike. What exercises could build abs? Could ab exercises help trim down your stomach along with cardio work? (16/F)

As for cardio, riding bike is a great way to get in the cardio work out your body needs to burn off the calories. But, the more muscle you have the more calories your body will burn AND the more calories you will need to eat.
Sit ups, crunches, leg lifts, medicine ball sit ups, SWIMMING, walking around while tightening your ab muscles, backward sit ups [this is where you start in the up right position and slowly mov your back to the ground(but do not let it touch)] are all great ways to tighten the muscles. It will take time, this I cannot stress enough. I, myself get frustrated when I have been doing ab work outs for a week and I still see no real results. But, keep at it and it will surely get there.
