Answers:
If you're describing a floppy stomach, it sounds like you still have belly fat on it!. If that is the case no amount of crunches will help you!. You need cardio!.
You see even if you don't keep your abs in shape, below a certain body fat level your abs will look flat at least (example: look at many rock stars who used drugs sadly)!.
But even if you have stone hard abs, if you're over a certain body fat %, the layer of abdominal fat which is virtually the last visible in the body to disappear, will still conceal them (example: many football lineman are RIPPED, you just can't see it under 2 inches of fat)
So while those crunches help with tone, to lose the flop you gotta cardio!.
Aim for at least an hour a day, mid intensity!. Not so hard you can't do an hour and a half if you feel up to it, but not so light that an hour of continous cardio is leaving you barely winded!.
Diet will also play in!. Eat fewer calories is key, but what you eat might matter!. Stick to leaner meats, low fat, veges, fruits, that sort of thing!. And smaller snack meals over one or two big ones!.
Now sadly "by summer" depends what you mean, but if you mean by like early june you may be on a time crunch!.!.!. even if you do this effectively, while you'll see results by early june you probably won't hit your target unless you shoot more realistically, say late june to mid july!.
Now I'm not saying don't do crunches! Toned tummies are good!. But want to lose that flop!? Focus on the cardio!. Run, bike, swim, but do it at an intensity you can handle for an hour to an hour and a half non stop, and eat right!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
