Q: I’ve been doing six sets each of five exercises for my waist, six days a week, and I still can’t see my six-pack. What am I doing wrong?

A: ”No matter how many situps, crunches, twists or whatever else you do for your waist, you’ll not whittle away fat. The body doesn’t work that way. Fat reduction is achieved internally—and only if you expend a sufficiently greater number of calories than you consume for a sufficient period. Only if you force your body to draw on its energy reserves will you reduce your bodyfat.

You can reduce your bodyfat without doing any exercise whatsoever provided you eat fewer calories than you use for long enough, but even if you exercise three hours a day seven days a week, if you start eating more calories than you expend, you’ll gain bodyfat.” - Stuart McRobertson
