What do you need to do most?
Tone up your stomach or just lose flab on the stomach?
If you want to lose flab you are going to have to do generall fitness work, like aerobics *yuk* or long distance running *yay*. Wheras if you just want to tone (ie no flab already) then spot work like situps are good. Another good one tho is where you hang of a chinup bar and bring you knees up to your waist and down again etc.
Another one if you want REALLY good abs is to sit on the floor with your knees bent and you feet on the floor. Now lean back keeping your back just of the floor and and your feet on the floor. (A partner to hold your feet down or a bar to hook your feet under may help) and the stretch your arms out behind you over your head. Hold this position for ten seconds then rest for ten seconds - you have just done one set. Do ten sets of this, if your stomach muscles are feeling pumped then you are doing it right. The difficulty can be modified by where you put your arms, and if you are finding it too easy then you can use something like a medicine ball in your hands to make it even harder.

Oh yeh, I'm working on a site about training for sports related fitness, let me know if anyone out there wants to contribute articles or content
I don't know what your local gym is like but I bet that depending on what time you go there, you will find there will be a lot of people who aren't fit either (and probably never will be as their idea of going down the gym is actualy just walking on the tredmills and using the machines without any weights on.) - Don't get me wrong, everyone has to start somewhere, but they never actually increas what they are doing, so they get marginally fitter, but suprisingly never get any better after that as they don't realise if it gets easy they are supposed to incresase the difficulty so they get fitter again - no sense of progression! Anyway, moaning aside..... My point is almost any mainstream gym (I tend to go to smaller less comercial ones) will have times of day when there will be people who are no doubt less fit then you will be using the machines. Also at some times of day you may find that there may be only 2 or 3 other people there (when I prefer to go training with a couple of mates)
Hope that helps...
I can't stand them... They make it easier to do (less effect on the muscles - less improvement) and lots of those even encourage using the wrong muscles, leading to strains and soreness if you are not carefull. LOL I even know of someone who managed to scew their neck up on one of those things.
You often see them in "mainstream gyms" but if you go to one of the smaller ones that caters almost exclusivly to people who train regularly for sports fitness you will be lucky to see one ever....
