Alot of people think that if they do thousands of sit ups they will have a flat toned stomach. That is not quite the truth. If you exercise your abdominals (including yoga, pilates, and kickboxing), your muscles will be strong and tight. However, you will not see muscle definition until body fat is lost. Body fat is influenced by what we eat and how much we eat. By decreasing sugar and fat intake and increasing aerobic activity (like walking, jogging, or doing aerobics) along with weight training, you will increase your muscle, and therefore burn more calories at rest. Once you become consistent with exercising and eating healthy, you will begin to see a decrease in body fat (and not just on the abdominals).
