Do crunches burn stomach fat?

Diet and excercise fads abound, but the simple truth is… in order to burn fat (including stomach fat) you need to burn more calories than you comsume. You can achieve this several ways…excercising more, eating less, or ideally, excercising more AND eating less.

A common misconception is that you must excercise a specific part of the body to burn fat off  of that body part.  In reality, pretty much any excercise you do has the potential to burn fat.  And although you can decrease your overall body fat,  you can’t pick and choose what area that fat will come off from.

But don’t dismay…loss of body fat will eventually show up where you want it most…your abs!
