Whether your goal is to look like an iron man or simply (and more realistically) to shape up, get a flat stomach and improve your overall health, there are a lot of myths and misconceptions that can get in your way. It’s time to separate fact from fiction to help get the best results.
Myth: Crunches will get rid of my jelly-belly.
Reality: Everyone stores extra weight differently, but the gut is one of the most common problem areas for men. Even if you do a gazillion stomach crunches and sit-ups, you won’t burn enough calories to lose the fat around your middle and see the muscles you’ve built up underneath. To get flatter, more defined abs, you need to cut calories and add more overall exercise. Stick to a low-fat diet of lean protein and healthy carbs while doing a combination of cardio and strength-training. But keep in mind that you still need to do some stomach exercises.
