    I had a trainer back in 2009 and met with her 3 x a week. We always did ab exercise, but that was minimal. You can't zero in and just flatten your abs. Your abs will flatten if you've been exercising your whole body, dieting and doing weight lifting. Probably not necessary to do 100 sit-ups a day. I do an 8-minute workout of ab exercises I found on Youtube. Try to do it every other day or maybe every day. Can't hurt and 8 minutes isn't a big deal.

    We are both obviously confused. Your confusion is confusing me.

    OMG, get one of the SlimBelts. Takes the work right out of it. You don't even need to do a sit up. Zap the flab away :)

    I'm guessing it wasn't sit ups though. My trainer would never people do sit-ups. There's core exercises that are much more effective, and hit more muscle groups. Planks, for example. 5 60 second planks are going to do SO much more than 100 sit-ups ever would, and take about the same amount of time.

    That looks like you're about to grill your abs! Creepy!

    Better off doing other stuff. Planks are MUCH better. Work your whole body rather than focus on one part.

    Sit ups are sooooo 1986. I don't do any, I get my workout from my strength training. New rules of lifting for women.

    I used to do loads, but nothing's worked as well as diet, bulking and running.

    The best ab exercise ever is 15 sets of stop eating so much crap.
