Third, specific training for the abs. When training the abs, if you require genuine results forget for the most part about crunches and sit ups. They are ok if you are really out of condition, but for most people who already follow a training routine there are exercises which provide a greater stimulus than crunches. Crunches actually provide a minimal amount of resistance to the abdominal region, and resistance is what develops, strengthens and tones the muscles. There are loads of great abdominal exercises in The Truth About Six Pack Abs.
