I don't know about that.
There are techniques to focus on a part to develop some muscle in the area.
Yes, do the cardio and the good diet...that's a must
but there are other things...
* When you do your situps, do some of them with your legs bent to the side, this will focus your muscles on your obliques.
* When you do leg lifts on your back, do some with your torso slightly turns to the side. (this is awkward at first)
* Make sure you are doing some things for your lower back,
many forget to get this area, it does affect the overall (take it easy though!)
* There are oblique machines out there which will place weight resistance vs. you turning your torso or waist.
* I like the standing leverage board...most end up doing their back on there, me I make it a superset.
First 10 straight up & down for my back,
then I shift so one hip is on the pad, then I slowly curve my spine down & up,
and after 10 I switch to the other hip.
This is GREAT for love handles.
Start slowly, with your hands down by your sides,
as you get better, you can increase the leverage by placing your hands behind your head.
(BTW, this looks great...the girlies love this one when you do it)
But remember to keep a good diet, and mix it up.
Good luck.
