How can I get a washboard stomach?

Repeat after me “You cannot spot-reduce!“.

Sorry to burst your bubble. Men generally store fat around their waist, while women generally keep it around their hips. There is no exercise, magical cream (well, at least not yet), plastic wrap procedure, or anything else other than liposuction that can remove fat from a certain area on your body. These places are usually the first place fat builds up and it’s the last place it will leave.

The best way to get and to maintain a washboard stomach, or shapely hips, is by following a low fat diet and doing plenty of cardio. All the crunches in the world (while strengthening and building the muscles), will not make them appear through the layer of fat which hides them. Get rid of the fat and the abs will show up.
