Who here wants to have a flat stomach & possibly strong, tight abs? I DO I DO I DO! 
I ripped this out of my Seventeen magazine a long time ago. It was probably from one of the magazines in Summer 2006 or so. And so I thought I would share with you since summer is coming up soon & everyone wants to look good in that swimsuit. LOL.
I'll retype what is stated on the magazine in case it's too small.
GET A FLAT STOMACH
(See my page-ripping skills?)
1. The Hundred
Put a folded towel between your knees and lift legs 45 degrees off the floor. Raise head and pulse arms up and down by hips. Inhale as you do 5 arm pulses (up AND down equals 1 pulse), then exhale as you do 5. Repeat 8 times.
2. Modified Roll-Up
A. Sit with knees bent and hands behind them for support. Round upper back; lean back 45 degrees.
B. Contract your abs to sit upright-but don't use your arms to help. Return to A; repeat 4 times.
3. Flutter Kick
Lean on elbows with hands by hips and feet just off the floor. Use lower legs to lightly kick 50 times total.
4. Arm Lift
A. Sit with knees bent and toes pointed on ground. Lean back 45 degrees and lift arms straight up. (I mean totally straight up).
B. Exhale and slowly lower your arms to knee level. Inhale and return to A; repeat 5 times.
5. Leg Lift
A. Lean on elbows. Keeping both knees bent, lift leg 90 degrees and lift right foot up 2 inches.
B. Lift right leg up to 90 degrees as you lower left foot to 2 inches off the floor Rturn to A; repeat 10 times.
6. Twisting Crunch
A. With hands behind head and legs 6 inches off the floor, bring left elbow to right knee. Keep left leg straight.
B. Move right elbow to left knee; keep right leg straight. Do A and B 20 times total; hold for 2 seconds each time.
WORKOUT KEY:
Keep your abs tight while you're doing each move.
