I know I cant spot reduce fat, but would like to tone up my tummy area.... I have found that if i wanted to tone up legs, grand squats, lunges, more squats more lunges does the trick, tones you up.. can really feel the muscels working, I cant say the same about my abs, really need to step it up on the abs.. Can anyone advise me on work I should be doing to see results???

Hi Colm,
