Crunches are great first step. Check the first couple links here:

Binx,

Unfortunately, the ugly science-proven truth is that you can't spot reduce, meaning tone or flatten just one part of your body. Doing hundreds of crunches will make next to no spot of difference - yes, you may develop great ab muscles but they will be hidden underneath the extra fat covering your stomach.

A good cardio and weight training routine, good diet, PAIRED with ab work is all you need.

Cheers
Star
