I don't know too. I've tried doing bicycle crunches 5-6 times week for more than two weeks and nothing happened. I only get flat stomach when my stomach is empty, every after exercising, o when I inhale but when I'm in a relaxed position, or when I have just eaten a snack, there's tiny bulge in the center of my stomach. It doesn't go away. My fiend told me it can be decreased by proper diet.

I think it will take some time to reduce fat in stomach. If one persist with good exercise and diet one can lost weight easily.

My friend who is a man and has really tight abs know how to diet properly but I cannot do the diet. It is really a strict diet.

I think crunches will have a good result. Ten times in the left, ten inthe right and ten in the front. Hope it will help you.

Hi, If you have a bit of a tummy that just means excess body fat, so you need lots of cardio to get your heart pumping, and some strength training exercises as opposed to just weight training, like push ups, squats, lunges which all work the abdominals as well as the obvious areas. Also make sure that you cut out your sugars, white food like white breads, white rice, potatoes, no frid foods or anything processed and concentrate on eating lots of fruits, vegetables, protein, and whole grains like brown rice, whole grain bread, kamut/spelt that sort of thing. An incline bench is excellent to do ab exercises as well.

I could feel the burn on my belly a bit from cycling uphill. I don't like sit ups because my neck will hurt quickly from doing them. But similar activities might be helpful. I have the Ab Lounge and it doesn't do anything for me. It's fun, but I don't feel the burn at all and my abs are hidden under a giant layer of fat.

I also have a bicycle. I used to cycle before. I think I should try to start cycling again.

I don't think you can beat sit-ups for tightening up your tummy muscles. Weights would help as well, but you need to know what you're doing to a certain extent or to have guidance, because you can cause injury to yourself if you lift wrongly, or take weights that are too heavy in the beginning. Brightest Blessings, my friend.

Sprinting (running as fast as possible) is the best way. Play football for 1 hour atleast. Do excercises which involve working out your abdominal muscles. Excercises like sit ups, twisting your torso etc. Try all these excercises on an empty stomach for better results
