How about trying: 1. a healthy diet, 2. a weight lifting program affecting all of the muscle groups, characterized by numerous repitions using light weights, and, 3. something cardio-vascular, such as walking briskly, bike riding, hiking, etc.

Triangles 1) Lay flat on back with arms above head 2) Crunch abdominal muscles to raise arms 3) Raise legs at the same time until hands & feet for a triangle. You could always do inclined crunches and reverse crunches.

try yoga or pilates, which works core but also focuses on posture and body alignment not just crunches work your core, in all your other exercises, like lunges, push ups, free weights, add a bit of focus to your posture and engaging your core muscles when doing all your other exercises. learn free weights is you currently use machines plank and side planks make your muscles develop and maintain tension for longer, they let you develop more tension. don't forget to balance out abs with back exercises like parachute/superman (lie face down on the floor and lift all but your belly up), keeping you body in a straight line is more challenging
