When it comes to your regular workout regimen, people tend to have the same goals; they want to shed unwanted weight, burn a lot of calories, burn fat, and have flat abs as a result of all the hard work they've put in. You may think that crunches, planks, or an ab roller are going to give you your desired result, but while you're working your abdominal muscles directly you still can't that sweet six pack hidden under stubborn belly fat. 

Belly Fat:

Genetics play a major role in how and where your body stores excess fat. Typically, women carry more fat around the hips and thighs. For men, much of the excess fat is stored around their mid section, often referred to as a beer belly. While you may joke that the protective cushioning is just protecting your six pack underneath, carrying excess weight (specifically belly fat) has been linked to high blood pressure, diabetes and metabolic disorders.

Aerobics:

Aerobics can be defined as your moderate to vigorous exercises that focus on strengthening your heart and your lungs, such as swimming or running. Often referred to as cardio, aerobics can significantly decrease belly fat, while improving cardiovascular health.
