They concentrate too much on their abs, thinking that crunches will get them that flat belly they always wished for.

Cardio Exercises When you do cardio to reduce stomach fat, the general rule is that the more intensive the workout, the better results it will provide.
Of course, don't do anything which is too strenuous or causes you pain, but the general rule still applies: I recommend doing fast running, rowing machine, jumping rope, and high resistance elliptical machine workouts.
