jogging is an excellent exercise because it let you lose weight
evenly throughout your whole body. If you want to lose weight in
specific areas, you should target them with exercises. If they are
your problem areas, they will be very difficult to tone. You will have
to work double on them. The best approach is this:
1. Lower/control your daily calorie intake (control for normal
weight, lower for overweight).
2. Run/jog to lower your overall body fat percentage.
3. Target your problem areas with exercises.
an excellent exercise, you can do it in front of your TV: sit on a
stool, and put your toes under something (piece of heavy furniture,
for example). In your hands hold a little dumbbell. Please, make sure
that it is not very heavy, start with one kilo, for example, or you
will damage your back and spine! Slowly move the upper part of your
body back, until it’s parallel with the ground. Stop for a second and
move it back to the sitting position. Repeat ten times. Every week add
to the number of repetitions. You will see the results in a week,
guaranteed! You will see or feel under the fat - if you have any - six
pack and muscles. Dumbbells do wonders. Much better than these
crunches - I came up to three hundreds and there was no results AT
ALL. With the dumbbells you will see it in a week.

first thing is that you cannot target areas to define like MY said.
the best thing to do is to burn overall fat. This means a lot more cardio mixed with weightlifting. it would also be good to try protein shakes to increase muscle formation after a workout. This will help burn fat aswell as build muscle overall

Hi Dear
Your abs are not prominent because they are covered with Fats. Do aerobic exercise like walking, swimming cycling etc

10 STEP AB RIPPER WORKOUT
I enjoy doing a workout I saw on a Tony Horton DVD.It not only tones the abs but it causes them to chisel and define. It especially helps to define obliques which make your abs look much much protrusive. It goes like this: (All steps done in quick succession with couple seconds of rest in between.
1. Ten regular sit ups, making sure to have bent knees, hands behind head but not pulling head, and keep you chin up so you are looking at the ceiling.
2. Lay on your side with your knees bent similar to a fetal position. Then turn your upper body so your chest faces the roof and do ten sit ups this way.
3. Repeat step 2 on the opposing side.
4. Lay in the sit up position, but lift your legs off the ground and bend at the knee so your legs make a 90 degree angle. Do 10 sit ups in this position remembering to breath and look at the roof to get more blood flow to your abs.
5. Lift your legs straight off the ground and point your feet at the roof. Hold them there and reach with your arms in a sit up motion trying to reach the roof. Repeat 10 times.
6. In the regular sit up position place your hands under your bum and lift your legs slightly off the ground so they are not touching. Lift the legs upward to make a 40 degree angle and back down. Repeat 10 times.
7. In the normal sit up position lift your shoulders slightly off the ground and hold. At the same time you are holding lift your legs off the ground and bend your knees so your heels are touching your bum. Then extend your legs straight out and back in, 10 times.
8. In the same upper body position you were just in, touch your feet together and bring them off the ground, making a diamond with your legs. Bring your feet in towards your stomach/chest as far as you can and bring them back to the ground. Repeat 10 times.
9. Do 10seconds of bicycle, where you alternate extending your legs and alternate twisting your upper body towards the side not extended.
10. Finish off with a full body sit up. Where you extend your legs out and back in, and meet your legs by doing a crunch when they are at your chest. Do this 10 times.
COOL DOWN. Stretch your abs by doing up dog pose. Where you lay flat on your stomach and extend your upper body upwards. Stretching is important to helping blood flow to define.
You will see results quickly, and you can up the repititions from 10 to higher amounts as you progress. Good luck.
