To reduce abdominal fat one must strengthen the abdominal muscles. These muscles consist of three basic muscle groups: The upper abdominal muscles, the lower abdominal muscles and the obliques – the side where those love handles like to accumulate. There are many ways to work the abdominal areas. You can target a specific area but you are working all the abdominal muscles together with each exercise. Some will just put more emphasis on a particular area. Too much fat around the abdominal will get help from working the abdominal muscles, but this also means you have been eating more calories than you are burning. Of course, the obvious solution to this is to reduce caloric intake.

A large waist is usually the result of a lack of muscle tone and too much fat. A combination of diet, abdominal exercises, and aerobic exercise will help to decrease your waist size.
