Ab tone and weight loss!

There a misconception that doing a million sit-ups and/or crunches will tone up your waistline and burn fat to reveal abs. However this is not the case is it?
Well doing abdominal exercise alone is not the key, however research has come to light suggesting that prolonged abdominal work over a reasonable amount of time, say 15 to 20 minutes with little to no rest will encourage not only abdominal tone, but specifically burn fat in the stomach region.
To succeed in this exercise it’s about quality over quantity over a variety of four ab movements targeting the various regions, such as lower, upper and oblique abdominals.
This should be followed up by some cardio from 15 – 30 minutes to burn the fat released from the fat cells in the abdominal region.
