I just posted some various ab stuff in another forum too so maybe you could check that out.

To tone the area, you'll need to diet, do some cardio and ab exercises without weights. Hope this answers your question. -------------- _Robert_ Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

I was a smoker and drinker but have since stopped. I increased as much as 24 kg since and have put on quite a bit of muscle also but one problem is the fat in the stomach which seems to love my so much it wont leave me. I do approximately 15 minutes a day for abs alone. I do free exercises for it as recommended by muscle-fitness, etc but I see only a meagre improvement there.Also does doing abs exercise daily harmful?

Your abs ARE underneath that layer of fat. In order for them to show, you'll need to modify your diet and do cardio exercises. There's no way around this I'm afraid... -------------- _Robert_ Pain is temporary; glory is forever!
