Will sit-ups give me a flat stomach?

No.

Sit-ups and other ab exercises will not give you a flat stomach.

Why?

There is no such thing as spot reduction, which means you can’t perform a specific exercise to reduce the fat from a specific spot on your body.

• Ab exercises will strengthen your abdominal muscles.
• Ab exercises won’t get rid of the layer of fat covering your abs.

Cardiovascular exercise will help you lose overall body fat, including belly fat.
