try every exercise that promise to burn the fat
from the abdomen area. But we also know

The claim made by the post seemed magical,

but this exercise surely cannot give you a flat
tummy in 10 days. In fact, no exercise can

or exercise) that promises quick results, stay
away from that. That's becasue losing weight
effectively takes time. To get a flat tummy
