The Science Behind Abs (1)

To reveal your abs, diet matters more than ab exercises. 😮

Unfortunately, there are no exercises for localized fat reduction. The benefit of ab workouts is increased muscle size, endurance, and strength (assuming your diet is appropriate). This concept applies to any part of the body.

If your goal is to look defined, it won't matter how developed your abs are if they're covered by subcutaneous fat. This "layer" will negatively impact the visibility of your abdominal muscles. 😥

Subcutaneous fat isn't reduced by doing more ab exercises but through a calorie deficit to burn triglycerides, proper protein intake, and adequate rest.
