Amy,
Did Will ever tell you about the time I was leaning back on one of those big exercise balls and was moving a dumbell weight side to side and fell over almost hitting my head on the chest press. I was soooooo embarrased
. I have no coordination.

My fiance, Will, is a personal trainer. I complain all the time about my abs. He recommends doing cardio first to simply slim down my abs and mid section...and then doing crunches and side crunches.
Here are a few of my favorite exercises for abs (as best as I can describe).
Sit down on the floor with your legs in front of you. If you have a heavy ball or maybe even a dumbell use put it next to you. Lean back as far as you can without actually laying down. Then take the ball or whatever and move it from one side to the other with your arms...but remember to keep in the leaning back position so you feel the burn on the sides.

I know that is for Men's Health, but it's still beneficial for women!
