You cannot in any way whatsoever target fat loss through exercise. It is humanly impossible, our bodies simply do not work this way. If you do squats you build muscle on your legs, if you do crunches you build muscle on the abdominal area. You do not remove fat from that area.
Fat loss is the product of overall weight loss. You eat right, eat less than you burn etc. Then and only then will your body begin removing fat cells from all over your body. Eventually it will get to your stomach as well. Unless there is some sort of hormonal problem or something like that, we cannot affect the way fat is removed.
Edit: Actually within what I wrote are the guidelines to how you can make your stomach go away... But I guess you would rather look for the quick fix. Want to bet you will be posting the same thing in a years time? [ Alin75's advice column | Ask Alin75 A Question ]
