So I'm going on holidays in two weeks. I'm not really toned, even though I have been doing exercises every now and then, but definitely not enough. I'm naturally petite, so really I just want exercises that will tone my stomach fast... Anyone? :)

    Nothing will tone your stomach in two weeks. It takes a lot longer and is a combination of losing overall body fat (you can't spot reduce) and strengthening your core muscles, which takes time and consistency.

    Plank position, walking planks, bicycle crunches, side T stands are just a few effective ones. Hope this helps. Have a fun trip!

    I'm not sure that you can make noticeable changes in just two weeks, but this topic would be the best starting point: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1161603/so-you-want-a-nice-stomach/p1

    You can't target "tone" your stomach. Fat drops off in random places. I for example, lose fat in my love handles first. You for example, could lose fat in your thighs first, then face, then stomach.

    There's no way to target, so, having said that..... continue to eat in a caloric deficit, and cut weight, until you've reached your desired look / weight / etc.

    Even if you COULD build muscle (which you won't), unless you get rid of the fat over the top, nothing will show.
