How do I trim belly fat (without liposuction!)?

I'm not obese or overweight, I just want to tone up my abs. I exercise, do cardio, and do 30 crunches a few times a week, but I want to see more of a difference in fat loss around my mid-section.

1. Do sit-ups I try to do 30 everynight before i have my shower in within a month or less you will notice a difference!!!! Have a nice daii x
2. Support your work out plan with a good diet plan Check http://www.dietforflatbelly.com Good luck Rene
3. I need to know that. but i do a lot of adominal exercises but they seem not to be working as fast as i want it to.
4. Leg twist, cruches, and core training will focuse that area and really help.
5. Thats the hardest section to get rid of.. Thats going to call for a tight diet meaning eating clean not starving yourself. This in combination with cardio and it will start to fade away!!
6. There really is no easy answer to this question. It is a common misperception that one can actually "spot reduce" fat, you can't. Fat disappears through metabolic increase and diet, and it is a total body dissolve, not just the area you are focussing on (ie. abs, thighs, biceps, etc) It seems you are already exercising regularly, so I would suggest changing your diet specifically for fat reduction. You could drink more water 80 - 100 oz / day (diuretic effect), eat less sodium and lower your carb & calorie count (not Atkins style though). Additionally, you could mix up your exercise routine, the body reacts differently if you "keep it on its toes", so to speak, and you will have an easier time burning calories. Sadly, it could just be genetic, thus giving you trouble to shed the fatty deposits around your abs. Keep trying and good luck!
7. I've heard and I'm not quite sure if I believe it but maybe you have to increase the excercise as you get more into it. I feel like crunches don't work for much. I've tried them but when I do crunches/sit-ups on a bouncy ball, I'm sore for about a day and half. Maybe you should give that a try :)
8. stomache exercise=Lie on the floor, legs straight out, hands at your sides. Lift your legs straight up (not bending your knees at all) until they're at a 90 degree angle (or close). Lower your legs and repeat without letting your legs touch the floor. For more challenge there is equipment at most gyms that will allow you to raise yourself up using your arms as support and dangle your legs. You can perform leg lifts there too. If you're using this piece of equipment, you can make it easier by just raising your knees to your chest. It's more difficult to raise your legs to a horizontal position with your legs straight. This helps firm up the lower abdomen. If you're truly a monster, try doing leg lifts with a medicine ball hanging from your feet. Or hang from a pull up bar and raise your legs in front of you all the way up to the bar.
