Stubborn fat around the waist doesn’t work the way you think.
You can train your abs every day… but fat loss doesn’t happen in “targeted areas.”
That’s the myth.
Your body burns fat overall—not from the exact spot you’re working on.
So yes, your muscles may get stronger and more defined…
but that layer of fat on top? It can still stay.
Especially in areas like the flanks (love handles), fat tends to be more resistant to workouts alone.
That’s why understanding your body matters more than just pushing harder in the gym.
