You should join a gym. Is that all you have is 20lb dumbells?
Don't do shrugs in a circular motion. Just go up and down. Try to touch your ears. Anyway what equiptment do you have to work with? and eat some food.

For the abs, try doing crunches, and bicycle kicks. For the leg lifts, try putting a dumbell in between your feet for added resistance. Russian twists will help with the 'bliques, too.

Lotta reps/low weight = good tone
Low reps/high weight = growth

At least that seems to be the common wisdom.

I know that 311 is going to disagree with u. When I cut down, I usually throw in few sepearation excercises and I watch the shiznet that I eat and up my cardio.

For pronounced abs, all it takes is a very strict diet. However, you also want to make them bigger to help them show. This would mean to treat them like any other muscle. I agree with BradG that you need low reps with heavy weight for growth. I disagree with the latter BTW (Apoc) Anyway, what works best for me is to use the exercise ball at your gym. Use the ropes on the low cable pulley and add some weight. Try and hit 4 sets of 10-15 reps. Just make sure that you're leaning all the way back on the ball to seriously stretch your abs. (I do 15 degrees back).

Another good one is russian twists. Pm mw if you want to know how to do them. We always did these in the Corps so it obviously works ;) IMO
