Do cardio. Inches on your waist are from fat/weight. Doing situps won't do anything for you except give you stronger underlying muscles. You can't "spot" reduce.

crimsonrain -

collegestudent's absolutely right.   I did zillions of crunches for years, but never dropped a pant size until I got rid of the spare tire.

The annoying thing was, I could feel the hard muscle beneath the fat - but I surely couldn't see it (or my feet, sometimes!).  :shock:

BTW - crunches are hugely better than sit-ups...
