Working out chest and stomach - Exercise & Fitness Message Board

I've been doing sit- ups and crunches like every other night and i can feel my stomach is getting harder and harder but my stomach isn't flat so i can't really see the difference, how would i go about loosing some of the fat off my stomach so i'll be able to have a flat stomach? I also run for like 15-30 minutes.

I also have been doing push-ups to work out my chest, but i don't know if that'll do anything in terms of giving my chest some tone. What can i do to tone my chest and make my chest a little flat and muscular and loose some of the fat there too?

some advice on other exercises to do for both would be great, but please explain what i can do in a little bit of detail, thanks!

To show your abs you will have to lose overall bodyfat. Cardio four times a week at 30 minutes intense will do the trick. Why do you do situps and crunches.... Just stick with crunches.. Regarding your chest same thing, you will have to lose fat for your chest to be more toned. But you want it to be more muscular so pushups will do the trick but don't expect any size.... just shape off pushups.... If you want size on your chest trying bench pressing.

Anything intense for 30 minutes. Key word is intensity. To burn chest fat you must burn overall fat.
