First off it's not that you're doing anything wrong, you've taken the initiative to get in shape and define your body, that's great. It's just that it takes more then just crunches and sit ups to get flat abs.

Diet First

You might not be over weight but the fact remains that if you want to get flat abs you can't be putting any crap in your body. This includes high sugar of fatty snacks, processed meals, and no fast food.

Now I don't want you to start eating rabbit food because this isn't the answer either. You need to eat a balanced diet of good fats, vegetables, fruits, carbohydrates and proteins.

For a good primer on eating to get flat abs consider buying a copy of The Truth about Six Pack abs. The author Mike Geary is a certified nutritionist and trainer so he knows what he's talking about when it comes to meal planning, dieting, and how to get flat abs.

Reduce Body Fat Percentage

Once you've gotten your diet under control it's time to address your body fat percentage. In order to get a flat stomach you need to have a body fat percentage below 10%. The majority of us don't so it is going to take some work.

Your diet will help with this because you're going to be eating fewer calories now then you have been. This help you drop some of the weight you're carrying on your stomach that is covering up your fab abs.

The other piece of the puzzle is working out to burn fat.

Again, not talking about going for a 2 hour run because when it comes to burning fat cardio isn't as effective as full body workouts like Lunges, Squats and dead lifts.

Focusing a portion of your workout time on multi joint exercises such as those mentioned above will burn more calories then riding the stationary bike. So be sure your including a few of these in your daily routines.

Get Those Abs

Ok so here we are ready to focus on how to get flat abs. So what exercises are best suited to getting a flat stomach and defined abdominals? Here's a few:

• Stability Ball Crunches
• Abdominal Scissors
• Hanging Knee and Leg raises
• Leg Thrusts
• Reverse Crunches
• Abdominal Bicycle

I learned about each of these exercises in The Truth about 6 pack abs, there is a great section of the book entirely about abdominal workouts and advanced exercises like these with pictures and descriptions.
