    Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym, so eat at a caloric deficit and do some cardio and your abs will show once you BF% is low enough.

    Diet. Abs are made in the kitchen

    You can't spot reduce fat. Only way to get abs is to lower your body fat %

    Easy, short & abs don't go together.

    Unfortunately you can't target fat loss. Do all the crunches you want, you won't see abs until your overall bodyfat is lower.

    abs fundamental formula = 0.9 * (diet ) + 0.1 * (abs workout)

    Easy and short really aren't words that fit into body composition in general xD

    Thats all you can do. It takes a while. You lose body fat at a slow pace. You didn't gain all the fat over night and shouldn't expect to lose it that fast either

    Actually losing 1-2 pounds a week is already at a great speed because when people gain weight they probably did it slowly over the interval of .5-1 pounds a week without knowing it until it got out of control

    Cardio and weight training are your best bet, and as the other posters have said, you can't target fat loss.

    everyone has already answered your question correctly....that you can't spot reduce and that any amount of ab exercises will not burn belly fat.

    however, I wanted to chime in that there still is some merit to doing some ab exercises to improve your core strength. there are benefits to this, even if they are not so obvious under the layer(s) of fat. anyway, one of the best core strengthening exercises is the plank. In addition to the plank, I like to do a plank with a toe tap...while you're in the plank, extend one leg to your side as much as possible, tapping your toes, and returning to the start position. repeat for the other side. the stability ball roll-out is another good core strengthening exercise.

    Strenthening abs muscle is a future investment in having BETTER ABs than not doing the exercises... all of this assuming you get a low body fat in the future to be able to see it

    100% agree with this thought. Core exercises are great.

    Squats and deads! Go go go
