Can you get rid of stomach fat by doing ab work-outs?

If you're trying to lose fat off your stomach, doing ab exercises will not do the slightest thing about that. You cannot lose fat locally, only from your entire body simultaneously. The relatively small size of your abs compared to the big, hungry muscles like your legs, glutes, chest and back muscles, means that they can only do a tiny bit for your metabolism. The only thing you'll get is strong abs hidden by the exact same amount of fat you had when you started. Which is something. Do not believe the myth of AbTronics, Body By Jake or any other crappy daytime TV products. They are ALL opportunistic liars, using models who were buff anyway.

How do you get abs when your already in shape and also run a lot. I weigh 138 and everyone says im all muscle but how can i achieve a great stomach. i eat sort of healthy but how can i get abs?
If you're already all muscle, all you can really do is do more
ab workouts. All kinds of ab workouts. If you already do a lot of
ab workouts, maybe you just have stubborn fat pockets on your
stomach. That's a very common place for anyone to have fat. It's
also some of the hardest to get rid of. You just need to lower the
carb intake in your diet if this is the case, and keep the ab
workouts going.

You dont specifically. Losing fat comes from where ever it was

How can a person transform the fat in your stomach area into muscle under a month and a half?
You do not "transform" fat to muscle. You burn fat and build
muscle. If your fat and your look for a six pack and you think fat
is transformed to muscle good luck with that... My eight pack looks
best at six percent body fat. So if your calling your stomach area
fat I'll assume your twenty plus precent body fat. The only way
your doing that in a month and a half is dehydration, not eating,
cardio and lypo to get rid of the fat. And some thing like ab
ripper x to build muscle. Abs are for people who know what they're
doing there is not a quick way to get them. Until you learn your
not going to have them
