If you're talking about strong, defined abs, it's going to depend on your overall condition. You will never get defined abs if you have a layer of fat over them. So the first step in getting defined abs is to get rid of excess fat. Then you can do crunches to strengthen and define your abs. However, you're also going to need to strength your back muscles too. Strong abs with weak back muscles will result in imbalance and set you up for back injury and pain. That's why it's important to work on strengthening all your muscles, as opposed to trying to single out some single area of the body.
