Re: washboard abs. Diet will play a very inportant part in this. You have to get rid of the fat covering the muscles for them to be seen. A million crunches a day will give you really strong abs, but won't matter if you don't adjust your diet. Also pay attention to the obliques, these are the muscles that when defined give you that nice "v" look to your stomach.
As noted, cardio is good for burning fat, but also consider adding strength training sessions as that will increase your lean muscle mass thus allowing you to burn more calories "at rest." I would also consider in investing in a couple of sessions with a personal trainer to get started. They not only will get you on the right path in the gym, they can also provide nutritional/diet advice as well.
