Will situps flatten your stomach

Answer 1

Sit ups will strengthen and eventually enlarge your abs (muscles,) but the way to decrease waistline fat is cardiovascular exercise (such as biking, running, or swimming.) Sit ups may also function as cardiovascular exercise, but this effect is tiny compared to the fat loss you would see from primarily cardiovascular exercises.

Answer 2

In a word, no. Sit ups with help build some muscle in your abs and will definately give them greater muscular endurance, however there will always be layers of fat covering your abs. To lose a pot belly you need to add more cardio, burn of more calories than you consume, eat sensible and have good portion control - that will burn the fat covering your abs and strip your body of the pot belly look.

Answer 3

Situps will help tone your abdominal muscles which will work to flatten your stomach. You will still need to burn overall body fat to get a nice, flat stomach, but situps, crunches, abdominal curls, etc. are important parts of achieving a flat belly.
