One very common myth about exercises and weight loss is the spot toning myth. Spot toning means doing exercises that work a single part of your body in an attempt to lose fat in that particular part.
You can not lose fat in a particular part of your body by training that part alone. It doesnt work that way.
If you would like to lose fat in a single section of your body you will need to burn all over your body. You can do crunches all day long and they will make your stomach muscles bigger and more toned but they will do very little to get rid of the fat layer thats covering them.
It takes a combination of cardio exercises and healthy eating habits to increase your metobolism and burn more calories then you consume to get rid of that fat layer.
