    On top of what has been suggested, the best results I've ever had was when I did exercises that activated my core. I did a lot of pull ups and dips along with doing some form of crunches everyday. You'd be surprised how much work you put into abs when you can do a proper unassisted pull up.

    Also try CLA (conjugated linoiec acid) with your supplementing. It helps to release fat from the abdominal area to be burned for fuel.

    You need to cut down on your body fat to actually see some sort of definition in your abs, otherwise you are just building ab muscles to push the fat in your stomach out further
    Yep, exactly.

    My regime used to be; cardio & abs every Tuesday & Thursday.
    Weight training Mon, Wed & Fri.

    I took weekends off to rest.

    I'd always eat protein cereal before my cardio though.
    Afterwards, I would drink tomato juice and eat a banana.

    Maybe 2 hours after the workout I'd eat a bagel with peanut butter, glass of water, avocado's & Greek yogurt.

    I'd try to always eat either breast chicken or cooked salmon. I'd eat tuna sandwiches for lunch or normal soup.

    The key for me was to just eat healthy and avoid pop & sugars.
    You'll see definitions in a month easily, possibly as soon as 2 weeks if you just follow through with your diet.

    Remember, drink water, juice, vegetable juice & choc. milk.
    Try your best to avoid alcohol as much as possible and pop.

    Quickest way to a flat stomach with 15 minutes of exercise or less each day.

    Go.

    Go.
    1) 90 second plank - works the entire core
    2) 3 sets of 10 leg raises - works the lower abs
    3) 3 sets of 12 leg raises (to the side) - works the obliques
    4) 3 sets of 10 weighted decline crunches (10-35 pounds) - good stress exercise

    Easy breezy.

    However, I think just doing planks every day will be enough.

    Word?

    It's winter time, and walking my ass to the gym in about a week isn't going to be an option.

    I'm getting older, so I am getting flabbier. Probably pushing 185 right now, but its all bad weight. 5 years ago I was 190 and solid muscle, want to try and get back to that.

    EDIT: I can plank for over a minute no sweat, but I still look flabby. Maybe I need to mix it up?
