A mixture of abdominal exercises and cardio vascular exercise to burn the fat. I wouldn’t train abs everyday either - have 1 day on, 1 day off.
You won’t get any big changes in 2 weeks, even so, it would depend on what your abs are like now.

Not going to happen. Having a fit, toned body takes commitment, and it takes time. You must first get there by healthy eating and exercise. Spot training by doing a lot of crunches isn’t necessarily going to help! 50 crunches done properly is going to get you a lot further than 200 done improperly. If you are doing 200, and haven’t been otherwise exercising, my guess (and I concede I could be wrong) is that you are not doing them properly. If you do ab work properly, you should fatigue before you get to 200 reps.
We would all like to look good in less than 2 weeks….and unfortunately, most of us think that if we starve ourselves and lose weight, we will. When we lose weight too rapidly, we lose muscle, which makes our problem worse because muscle is necessary for a toned look.

Sorry to say but realistically theres not way to do it In 2 weeks. The only way to get Abs is to remove the fat thats covering them, (that wasnt a crack at you) everyone on the
planet has 6 pack abs, tho the majority have alot of bodyfat covering it. If you do 1 thing to get more tone you should go over your nutrition, a few guidlines would be.
1. Eat every 2-3 hours (no matter what, you should eat between 5-8 meals per day)
2. Eat lean protein in every meal
3. Eat Fruit/Vegetables in every meal (tho not to much fruit, id limit it to 2-3 servings per day as fructose is easily stored as fat)
4.ensure that all the carbohydrates that you take in come from fruit or vegetables (i.e avoid junk like soda, or complex carbohydrates such as bread, pasta etc)
BTW the only time I would ignore this is during or after a workout.
5. ensure that around 25% of your energy comes from fat, with a pretty even split between polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and saturated fat, tho for poly Id avoid Omega 6 and aim for plenty of Omega 3 because most people already get loads of Omega 6.
6.Drink Only non-calorie containing beverages, best choices being obviously water, and green tea
7.Eat mostly whole foods, except during or after a workout
(that means eat real food, try to avoid processed crap)
Oh and as far as Exercise goes, I can’t belive this is still not common knowledge but Spot reduction of fat is not possible, Fat is not like a muscle it wont burn of your stomach if you start crunching at it, that burning sensation you get when you do crunches is just lactic acid.
Best thing to do is do whole body workouts Involving big, compound movements, (Compound movements use more than one Joint, So where talking Squats, Pullups, Squats, Deadlifts, Squats, Benchpress or pushups, Squats, Barbell rows, and um…. Dont forget to Squats. also some Aerobic activity will help burn some calories, Interval training will help strip off loads of cals, and also an increase in NEPA will definantly help (Non Exercise Physical Activity) that means make your daily life more physical anyway you can, e.g park further away from work, or even walk to work, go for a jog on your break or even just stretch in front of the TV.
But rememeber all that will be completly useless if your eating 4000 calories of crap every day so #1 take care of your nutrition and, increase NEPA and then get a solid exercise program going. (remember to Squat)
If you have no idea what half of those exercises are, goto a gym and get a Personal Trainer to show you.
Btw, Im a Strength and Conditioning Coach, from Australia so I do have some idea what Im saying
Hope this helps
Best of Luck
