Is it possible to flatten your abs without losing any weight?
I’m 5′3 and 115lbs but have a bit of chub on my abs. I do crunches daily but I’m wondering if it will even flatten my stomach cosidering its covered by fat. If so, How do i burn fat just on my stomach?
The short answer is no. To flatten your abs, you have to drop the layer of fat that is on your body. The best way to do that is to Workout using weights and cardio.
Guys and girls both should be lifting weights in order to drop the pounds. Increased muscle mass means you burn more calories throughout the day. And muscle takes up less space than fat, so a woman who has more muscle will actually become skinnier as females don’t have the inherent ability to build muscle mass like guys do. Girls who get really big and bulky only do so by taking injections.
On top of that, not all cardio is equal. The typical long, slow cardio isn’t that great at reducing body fat because you only burn calories while you exercise. High intensity interval training is the best way to go about doing cardio. Just think about this for a minute: do you know what a long distance runner looks like. Typically very skinny with little to no lean body mass. Now take a sprinter. They’re very lean and yet still have muscular bodies if they’re guys and shapely bodies if they’re girls. Who do you want to look like? The extremely skinny, sickly looking person or the shapely/muscular healthy looking person?
Anyways, here are some routines to get your started
