Contrary to popular belief, personal trainers are also human. It's really easy to mentally make a note to 'start doing 500 situps like Britney did when she was hot', but, to actually do it is another thing. What I find helps me and my clients is to set small goals, and when you are setting a goal for the fast acting muscles in your core- you'll notice results... quickly.
What I'm challenging all of you to do, starting now- is make a commitment to yourself for the next week. Set aside a time of day where you'll do abs, or, even just that you'll do them-just for the next 7 days. Perhaps you have a favorite TV show, or even just some nightly channel surfing that you engage in-perfect! When the commercials hit- you hit the floor. This or some other trigger to remind you ( because come on, life is hella busy) will be the porthole to your 4-d abs.
After you've decided that you'll be partaking in this, get right to thinking about which exercises you are going to commit to-just for this week. This plan will help eliminate excuses, and will just leave your brain out of the equation ( sans the counting part) when its 'crunch' time ( pun)!
I would suggest doing 1 upper ab exercise, an oblique exercise and a lower abdominal exercise. Wrap it all up with a plank ( 30 seconds to a minute) and you are set. Here is a link to a variety of ab exercises, that also points out what arena of the abs you are working ( ignore the advertisements!);

In a week- you'll be looking AND feeling radical, partially because your abs are leaner and also, because you committed yourself to this. I'll commit myself as well- let me know how it goes!
Good digestion to all,
Sasha
