Steps

Eat healthier and cut down on junk food, such as replacing crisps and chocolate with fruit. You'll see a world of difference.

Watch how many soft drinks you consume. Consider flavored water as an alternative if you must.

Do aerobic exercise daily at a 30 minute minimum and include 1-2 day(s) rest break each week. Anything that brings your heart rate up. Try dancing, running, power-walking, tae-bo, etc

Eat lots of lean protein (like turkey and skinless chicken)fruits and dark vegetables, and whole wheat breads and grains. They keep you fuller longer than white breads like in cakes, cookies, and sweets.

To better work the entire abdominal region, vary your exercises: crunches work the upper abdomen; leg raises work the lower abdomen; side bends work the obliques or also known as love handles.

It is better to aim at burning fat altogether since it is impossible to spot train. And sure, you can do 100 daily crunches. But if you've got a layer of fat covering up your ab work, than what's the point? You need to burn the stomach fat to see the changes.

Consider some form of an aerobic exercise, as well. Some simple resistance training, or light weight lifting, will not only help you burn fat more efficiently, but tone up the rest of your body as well.
