The same as they have been for the last 1000 years.
Diet + sit ups, crunches and leg raises.

As the guys said...
If you want abs, you need to remove the fat that covers your muscles. You can achieve it with diet.
But, you should train your abs too. Train it like any other muscle... with intensity and recover between days.
You don't press a 20kg barbell everyday for 200 reps to get pecks... so... same logic with abs.
Train it 2x a week, sets with 12-20 reps... quality in muscle contraction in each repetition and try to reach failure or almost failure in every set.
As time goes by as it gets easier and lighter, you add weight... and the weight always positioned as far as possible from the driving axis of the movement, increasing the tension in the worked muscle.

It just comes down to diet. There is no such thing as "toning" the way people talk about it. Less body fat will give you the tight stomach over time.

What is "toning" by the way? [emoji848]
I can't understand women. Most of them want muscle definition but they don't want to gain muscle. Seriously... I see no logic at all.

It is just the way information has been passed down. Women grow up with these misconceptions such as lifting weights will make them big and bulky. I wish there was more being taught at younger ages in regards to nutrition and how important it is to how you look. You cant exercise your way to a flat stomach.
