Why Your Core Routine Isn’t Getting You Abs

Graham & Angus discuss why sit-ups alone won’t burn belly fat, busting the myth of "spot reduction" with hard science. They break down studies from the University of Massachusetts, the University of Copenhagen, and ACE, all showing fat loss is systemic, not localized. They explain how real fat loss happens through a calorie deficit, cardio, full-body strength training, and lifestyle factors like sleep and stress management. They also dive into the world of performance-enhancing drugs—how they can accelerate fat loss and muscle retention, but with life-threatening health risks, so are clearly not a good idea! The bottom line: you can’t shortcut discipline, smart training, and nutrition if you want to see those abs.
