The key to abs (quick/effective abs) is to trigger certain muscles by doing different exercises and in certain orders as well.

Example: Traditional sit ups don't work, period. You can do 1000 of them and you won't burn that belly fat.

Crunches work best...And, with crunches, you should do a wide variety of crunches to hit the different areas of your abs...

Rectus Abdominals...= mid drift area
Transverse abs = lower (the belt line)
Obliques (internal and external)...= love handle area

Also, to really get a completely flat stomach, some exercises will have to be done off the floor, either by standing, or moves that raise your legs at some point. Raised legs work the transverse abdominals...Twisting raised legs work the obliques well.

Also, breathing correctly fires the ab muscles while crunching...When you exert an effort, exhale while concentrating on the muscle itself...

I can tell you a specific exercise depending on which area of ur ab u want work in.
