But in fact, exercise alone is not enough to form a six pack abs. Nutritionist from Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Arizona, Kasey Brixius, RDN says, the fat that is already in the stomach can not just disappear with exercise.
"You can not reduce the effects of a bad diet just by exercise, especially for areas that are dependent on fat and swell (in the stomach)," says Kasey.
Then anything that can help shape the stomach into a sixpack besides the sport? As reported by Health, there are several ways that can be done.
