The only way to get wash board abs is to rid fat and lower your body fat %. If you have a belly at all, it’s gonna take some cardio along with crunches to achieve the desired affect. You also need to be eating right. If you already have a flat stomach (just not riped), then it probably won’t take much work. As far as how many sets ans reps…..When you do crunches at home without weight resistance, you have to do the crunches until you feel "the burn" then you need to do an additional 10-15 reps after that. It’s after you feel the burn that you are getting the most affect. The reps is for you to figure out based on your fitness level. For sets I’d say do 2-3 sets a day.

Same thing with your abs, doing abs exercises will not give you a six pack.
Do some abs exercises only in addition to a full body routine.
