What’s the best time of the day to do sit-ups?

Also, how many for how long?
Do you do it after you have eaten, in the middle of the day or when you have just woken up?
By the way, I’m 14 years old and I want to get a flatter stomach.
Also, how do you get smaller thighs, a more rounded bum and less fat on your thighs?
Thanks!
*less fat on your waist

anytime of the day is fine. You have to do sets though. What I mean is do as many as you can, and that number will be how many you do in your sets. So say you do 40. You will do 40, rest for like 30 seconds or so, 40 again, rest, and then 40 again. After you workout you have to eat something that is rich in protien. As in meat or something. Protien will help you build lean muscle and repair the torn ones. Once you workout, you can’t the next day because your muscles are still healing. So every other day is good. Hope this will help. -also running will help alot too.
I think morning because to me, if you start your day off with some exercise it releases endorphins which makes you happy
A happy start to the day is always great, especially when your are creating great abs in the process.
there are many workouts you can do..
Have fun with these sites…

First, it doesn’t really matter what time of the day you exercise – just not too soon after a meal, since your body is busy digesting and too much exersise too soon after a meal disturbs this, as well as not resulting in good exercise sessions since you are spending energy for digestion!! Be sure to drink lots of water at least a half an hour before a good workout: this helps a lot!
I;m going to suggest you go to the first several web pages suggested by this search
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&newwi…
and see diagrams, descriptions, reasons and such, directly!! There are tons of great ab exercises described and pictured quite well here.
The best seems to be the “bicycle”, the “captain’s chair” or “L-sit” (which you can do anywhere: you don’t need a special piece of equipment), exercise ball crunches (twist to get your obliques developed better – same for all exercises, really!!), raised leg lifts, holds and crunches… the Nautilis machine ab-worker is pretty good too, if your gym has something like this.
For well toned thighs and bum, i recommend cycling, swimming or running. Cycling is a great exercise, and works out a lot of different muscles. Use “interval training” to get best results from any of these exercises: go at a moderate rate for a while, then crank up the speed or hardness to the max for a short period (no more than a minute at top rate), then return for a while to a more moderate pace. This method is guaranteed to produce better results than just going at the same pace for long periods of time.
Finally, you cannot “spot reduce” – you can’t selectively take fat off one body part and not another.. not to any great extent anyway. A loss of weight will almost always result in all or most body parts shrinking.
I’d make sure to do ab work on an empty stomach for obvious reasons. Ideally I would exercise in the morning so that progress is in use throughout the day. And you’ll already have done your workout first thing and have no excuses.
