I will do zumba before I will do crunches it's a great ab workout! anytime you walk, jog, or whatever exercise you do hold in your stomach!

Cardio, in particular kickboxing, boxing, some ab work outs and a diet within your suggested range (high protein & complex carbs though). Be conscious throughout the day to contract your abs, say sitting at the office desk. It works!

P.S. Complex carbs - e.g. German Vollkornbrot/Mueslibread (Wholefoods) - helped my skin elasticity, so I got my 6-pack back 2 months after I gave birth to my daughter.

I did an obscene amount of cardio (elliptical and powerwalking uphill on the treadmill) which reduced my overall fat and then when I had about a quarter of my target left to lose I focussed more on toning so lots of crunches, reverse crunches, bicycle crunches and planks. I'm also doing jillian michaels 6 week 6 pack DVD. I'm four weeks in and highly recommend it!

Sorry,

But there is no way to target fat reduction (Believe me, I wish there was!). Your body will do it's thing and you really can't spot reduce. You can, of course, concentrate some of your workout to tone/build muscle in a focused area.

Right, body fat needs to be low (in that area or overall) first and foremost, which would be achieved by way of proper nutrition and cardio.
