The best way to lose your stomach fat is to do 30 minutes of cardio 4-5 times per week. This will lead to a weight lose of 1-2 lbs per week. Doing crunches or situps will be conterproductive until you lose your stomach fat. Contrary to the popular myth, fat does not turn into muscle. If you build up the muscle underneath your fat, you will add inches to your stomach. Wait until after you have lost your stomach fat before you try to tone your abs into a six pack. For now, focus on cardio and losing the fat.
the key to getting ur abs to show and a flat stomach is ur diet, not doing hundreds of ab exercises
a good lower cal diet and lots of cardio will burn fat off
Abs are made by a good diet and proper exercise. About 80% is done in the kitchen and 20% is done in the gym. I would say if you have a good routine and diet plan than maybe no more than 20 months to lose that last bit of fat. But be careful not to stop doing it all of the sudden because that fat comes back quick.
Good exercises are bicycles, sit-ups, toe-touchers, hip-raises, the plank, and alot of others. Just google ab workouts and they usually show great sites for exercises.

That guy who created it is a fitness genius so he definitely knows what he’s doing.
First, even if you build a nice 6 pack inside, you have to have no the slightest clue of fat on it, in order to make it visible. So, just go on a diet for general weight loss and do 100-200 sit ups/crunches at one go/2×100 every day.
6pack abs take 2 things. Toned and solid muscles, and low body fat.
It’s hard to say how long it will take you since you didn’t say how much you have to lose. Not to be rude, but "A tid bit of tummy fluff" honestly sounds like you don’t want to own up to how much it really is.
Leaning up is easier than people will tell you. Start doing cardio every weekday, or everyday if you can. At a minimum, start jogging either outside or on a treadmill for 20min a day. If you want to lose it faster, you’ll have to push it harder. Using elliptical trainers with resistive arm movement burns more fat than jogging or cycling. Rowing burns more than any of the 3 (plus it will help tone your core). To 1lb of fat per week, you have to burn 4000cal more than you eat, or about 600cal per day. If you hit it hard on cardio for a half hour, you’ll burn about 300. Make up the other half by cutting 500cal out of your daily diet (yeah, that’s 800, about 1.5lbs lost per week). Try cutting pop out of your diet, replace it with pure juice and water. Trim calories off of every meal, not just 1. Your body will notice it if you cut 1 meal in half, it won’t if you just miss a few cal on all of them.
2nd, you need to tone up your abs. Girls usually want long lean abs, instead of big bulky 6packs, so you’ll need to train your slow twitch muscle cells by doing high reps with little or no resistance. Do several variations of crunches. Doing 20reps of 10 exercise is a lot less boring than doing 200 reps of the same thing. One important part of lean abs is the lower abs. lay backwards on a decline bench or hang from ab straps and do leg raises. Keep your legs straight. Lay on your back with you hands down at your sides, hold your feet straight up in the air like you’re holding a pizza on the soles of your shoes, then press the pizza straight up. Squeeze EVERY crunch at the top as hard as you can, and keep your abs tight all the way up and all the way down.
A good way to lose belly fat is to do your cardio first, then lay down and start your ab workout. And hit it hard. Then about 30min to an hour after your workout, do a quick burst of crunches to keep the blood flowing just a little longer.
Kickboxing is a great cardio exercise and an awesome core workout. It burns a ton of calories and it forces you to focus on your core without doing boring crunches.
