Unfortunately that's not true
Lose body fat
Compound lifts / progressive resistance
Planks are OK for beginners but once you can hold one for a minute you're not really getting any additional benefit unless you make them progressive / dynamic .. so a press-up for example is better for your core strength than a 3 minute plank
no amount of sit ups is doing much of anything

You need to lose body fat to have a smaller stomach. Compound lifts have done more for my core strength than anything else has, but I still don't have visible 'tone' (ie muscle definition) on my stomach because my body fat percentage is too high.0

Hi Kdalton! A Plank is like where you get into the position like you are going to do a pushup(With your arms fully extended) and you hold it. Sometimes people will get onto their forearms so your elbow-wrist are on the ground. This can be challenging at the beginning. you can always drop to your knees like you're doing a modified push up and that will help a little bit! Start with holding for just a few seconds and increase every day!0 -
I've got great obliques and top abs showing through from lifting weights. I hardly ever do abs exercises exclusively.0

I do two DVD exercises that really work my abs. They are both by beach body. Turbo Jam and Hip Hop Abs. You will feel your abs when you do them.0

I now have to second this one. I can't do a lot of ab exercises (surgeries, etc) and those I could do I could feel a burn but not see much difference.
Been lifting and have noticed a huge difference especially recently with my stomach area. Still have that "c-section pooch" but when I turn sideways I'm noticeably smaller...like I used to look 7 months pregnant and now I just look like a work in progress
Oh, and follow that link. It's got great tips good luck!0
