Flat stomach exercises are anaerobic exercises. Training the abs directly will not give you a flat stomach. In order to effectively get ripped abs, anaerobic training is the fastest way. The anaerobic system will increase your metabolism, through interval training and regular exercise.

Spot reduction does not work. Training the abs will not give you ripped abs. To get a flat stomach, you must train the whole body and burn fat. When you burn the fat throughout the body and the belly, the abdominal muscles under the fat will be more visible.

Hi intensity anaerobic training is effective in creating an oxygen debt in the muscles. With lowered oxygen levels in the muscles, there is increased accumulation of lactic acid and carbon dioxide, which will affect muscle function.

Exercises that involve intervals are effective in creating an oxygen debt in the muscles. The dynamic nature of interval training and how the muscles react to the demands of that training, really increase the metabolism of the muscles.

Interval exercises create oxygen debt to force the muscles to expend more energy, the result being greater metabolic activity and increased overall metabolism of the body.

The muscles increase in size and become more active requiring more energy to function. This increased function will burn more energy, thereby increasing the body’s fat burning capacity and helps get rid of the excess body fat.

With increased training frequency, the body will be better able to provide energy to its muscles as well as become efficient at burning fat. The increased lean body mass that occurs also helps to keep a regular schedule of metabolic activity to keep the body burning fat.
