To do side crunches use a exercise mat and kneel down and lean all the way over to your right side. Exercise: Well, you can start with doing exercises that target your abdominals such as the abdominal hold. To do this exercise you need a steady chair and somehow to time a minute. Sit up tall in the chair, placing your hands on the edge of the chair with your fingers pointing towards your knees. Next you want to tighten your abs and bring your toes at least 2 to 4 inches up off of the floor and at the same time lift your butt off the chair. You then HOLD this position for as long as possibly can or at least for 5 to 10 seconds. Now, lower yourself back onto the chair and repeat doing this exercise for one whole minute. Another exercise to trim your abs looks difficult, but it really isn't. This exercise will require balance and will work your oblique muscles and your hips.

You need to keep your weight balanced, and slowly extend your left leg and your toes point in front of you. Now, place your left hand behind your head and point your elbow toward the ceiling.

Turn your head towards your extended leg and bring the left side of your rib cage toward your hip. Now, go back to your starting position and repeat the same process 8 times. Do two sets of 8 reps on one side and then switch legs and do 8 reps on the other side. Eat: Eat your way to flatter abs. There are certain foods that you can eat to help you achieve those trim, flat abs. Foods like almonds, eggs, soy, apples, berries, leafy greens, yogurt, salmon, certain vegetables and Quinoa.
Almonds are full of protein and fiber, vitamin E and a powerful antioxidant. They also have magnesium, which is something your body needs to produce energy, build and maintain muscle tissue and also to regulate blood sugar. Try for 23 almonds each day. Eggs are also a great protein source and also essential amino acids that are used as building blocks to make muscle fibers and also brain chemicals. If you eat eggs in the morning you will be less hungry throughout the day. Unless you have high cholesterol try to eat one egg each morning. Soybeans are a wonderful source of antioxidants, fiber and protein. Go for dry-roasted soybeans in a soup or salad, tofu, or liquid soy such as soymilk. Have 25 grams of soy each day, which is 4 ounces of tofu, 1/2 cup of steamed edamame or a glass of soymilk. Apples and pears are great for losing weight. Try eating 3 of them a day (apples or pears or a combination) for 3 months and just see how much you can eat. You should also eat a balanced diet along with eating the apples and pears. Apples contain quercetin, which helps your body fight certain cancers, reduces your cholesterol and promotes healthy lungs. Eat at least one or two apples each day. Berries are full of fiber and can help you to lose weight. Berries also contain antioxidants which help protect you against disease like cancers and improve your blood flow and can help your muscles to contract better which helps to build abs. Eat 1/2 cup of berries each day. Try mixing up your berries to prevent boredom like try some gooseberries, boysenberries, black currants, blueberries, strawberries, and also raspberries. Leafy greens are good for your abs too. They also help to prevent cancer and can help to shrink your waistline. They are a good source of calcium, and are essential for muscle contraction, which you will need to shape that firm abs. You should try to have 3 servings of leafy greens each day. Yogurt is a good source of calcium, and can help you to lose weight in your midsection. The probiotic bacteria in most yogurts helps your digestive system to be healthy, which then creates less gas, bloating, constipation, which all make your abdomen look bloated.
Eating soup that is broth-based or low fat cream-based can actually help you to lose weight because you replace fat containing fats with the soup. Vegetable soup is the best because you need your vegetables. Try to eat at least one cup of a low-calorie, and low-sodium vegetable soup every day. Seafood especially fatty fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel will give you omega-3 fatty acids which help you to burn fat, and helps promote healthy metabolism all of which makes your abs leaner. When you eat seafood it slows your digestion and helps to avoid the cravings that causes you to eat more than you need. Quinoa is a whole grain that is high in fiber and protein. You cook it like you would a grain and it has a nutty flavor. You should eat one 1/2 cup of Quinoa as a hot cereal or on top of salad every day. Fitness and Exercise
