Description
If you’ve been doing crunches hoping for a flat stomach, you’ve been misled by one of fitness’s most persistent myths. Crunches build muscle underneath fat but do nothing to burn the fat covering your midsection. In this video, Dr. Berg reveals the single most effective exercise for achieving a genuinely flat stomach—one that works not by spot-reducing fat (which isn’t physiologically possible), but by optimizing the hormonal and metabolic conditions your body needs to release stored abdominal fat. He explains the difference between subcutaneous fat and visceral fat, why the latter is particularly stubborn, and how the right type of exercise modulates cortisol, improves insulin sensitivity, and creates the sustained fat-burning state that makes a flat stomach achievable. Dr. Berg also explains how exercise timing, duration, intensity, and recovery all interact with the hormonal environment—and why many popular workout approaches actually keep belly fat locked in. Whether you’re new to exercise or have been training for years without seeing abdominal results, this video gives you a science-grounded approach to finally getting the flat stomach you’ve been working toward.
