FACT: The type of exercise you do does not affect the number of fat cells in a specific area, Crome says. Even if you do 100 abs exercises every day, without proper nutrition, quality sleep, and a well-rounded fitness routine, you might never achieve the
toned, flat stomach you want. You will help develop the muscles in that area, but that doesn’t equate to fat loss.
When the body loses fat, it does so in a systemic fashion—all over the body at the same time. Aside from surgical procedures such as liposuction, there is no way to direct or influence the elimination of fat from specific areas, Crome says.
