    Im assuming you have kids by your name. Your diet should be first and foremost and to tone up those abs after kids can happen rather quickly. Like Presser said , give some point as to where your at now..hope we can be more helpful

    Like the other posts say, it greatly depends on what your starting point is and diet is essential. You can't put a time frame on it because everyone's body varies at the rate fat is burned and muscle is built. Once you lay down a proper foundation of diet, you can do various exercises that target the abdominal muscles. For us women who have had children, you may find that the rectus abdominus is lax. Meaning that they have separated during pregnancy, but you can still build and firm the muscle but may notice a separation--a split--down the middle of the abdomen. You can do crunches, planks, donkey kickbacks,
    Body weight squats, knee raises, various yoga poses, the list goes on and on...

    don't just jump into a low cal diet without knowing the ins an outs though. If your already low cal then chances are its not going to help you any. just a quick run down, start out at a higher cal level for about 3 weeks. this will allow your metabolism to build but you may gain a few pounds at first. then after about 3 to 4 weeks of high call taper down a little, maybe 400 cal cut. hold that for another 3 to 4 weeks. continuously cutting calories every 3 to 4 weeks. start out with 2 days a week cardio. not to much at first, the body is very adaptive to cardio. you need to save some room for when your body stops responding. add cardio between the weeks of cutting calories. never both at the same time. this will allow you to continuously lose fat at the maximum level. Hope this helps, this is a good starting point. But the most important aspect is the diet, none of this matters without a well rounded diet. no pizza, or McDonald's.

    I agree with eswol. If your diet isn't in check. It's going to be hard.
