Why do people think situps will make their stomach look ripped? A healthy diet and cardio is the only thing that will allow you to see your abs.

Yep. For women, situps actually tend to make the waist thicker. I think core work (not situps or ab workouts) and general good posture make for a much more pleasing female physique. And, of course, no ab/core work will make a difference whatsoever if there is a layer of fat over it. Cardio with a strong core is the best ab workout, IMHO. I am doing a core workout right now as I sit at my desk. I haven't done a situp in years. And I have enviable abs.
I also am perplexed when I see people who want to lose 30+ pounds working on the stability ball. ?????? What tiny muscle are you trying to define, and how are we going to see it through the adipose tissue? CARDIO my friends.
