What is a good exercise to flatten abs?
I’m not fat by any means but i would like that "flat ab" look.
Every website i go on it says "crunches don’t work" and then it just turns into one of those "buy my workout video" scams.
I’d like to know an effective way to get these results without hurting my back and neck doing crunches.
Like Jay says above the trick is to start by losing your belly fat and crunches don’t help accomplish that. Unlike Jay says you don’t need to stop eating too much. There are exercises that help burn your belly fat and these can be followed by those for abs. May be you have seen a lot of buy my workout scams. But I’ll share the one that has been working for me and my girl friend for the past few months. Its at http://urlcantik.com/ke/absworkout/ and the good thing about this program is that it tells you what to focus on. One of the first things there is reducing belly fat which gives you a flat stomach. There are exercises shown on how to achieve this.

I know this is going to sound like another ad, but it’s not. If you go to Prevention.com which is Prevention Magazines web site, you can get a belly full (ha ha) of answers regarding excess belly fat. Click here http://www.prevention.com/cda/categorypage.do?channel=weight.loss&category=flat.belly.diet and scroll down the right side of the page for lots of info. The new book called Flat Belly Diet is really marvelous and can show you what foods are making you poochy and what foods will slim you down.

Really simple exercise to flatten abs:
Stop eating so much.
You could be a weak little guy, but if your fat % is low enough, you’ll have flat abs. Likewise if you’re a girl. Lose weight, and the spare tire around your gut will disappear.

10 situps
10 V-ups (Touch your hands to your toes, but crunch your body so that they meet midway in the air)
10 lemon squeezers (Position yourself sitting up, put hands at side, and move your torso back into a laying position while extending your legs straight ahead. Now just row your legs to a bend while crunching toward them w/ your torso, then go back to laying position. repeat process)
10 back hypers (lay on stomach, basically a reverse cruncher)
10 Leg lifts (Lay on back, lift straight legs to 45 degree angle, then bring back to ground)
30 seconds of bicycles (Lay on ground, and mimick a bicycle pedal motion w/ your legs)
10 side crunchers each side
10 regular crunchers
30 seconds of flutter kicks (Lay on back, keep both legs straight. Lift them up bairly, now alternate between raising each leg a little bit and brining it back down. This one is tought at first, but after a week it will be easy. Try to think of being a swimmer while doing this one)
10 kick ups (Lay down, bring knees up toward chest, then kick legs upward to become straight in the air.)
10 side double leg lifts (Hard to explain, basically lay on side, and lift both legs simultaneously as high as you can. Will feel weird at first)
10 Forward Rows (Way too hard to explain, google it)
10 Russian Twists (Google it)
10 Scissor Kicks (Lay on back, spread leags apart in air, bring them back to center with one leg above the other, then alternate to mimick a scissor kicking action)
Finish with a bridge for however long you think you can do it.
Once this routine becomes easy, don’t up the reps, just do the whole routine twice. (Left a few out for explanation’s sake)
Then also do your run at night. Cut excessive fat out of your diet, but you can have a little still.
Do it and you will have some abs.
