Do abdominal slims the tummy?

Abdominal exercises when performed correctly are excellent to define the abdominal muscles, leaving the belly with the look 'six pack'. However those who are overweight should also invest in aerobic exercise such as bicycle and jogging on the treadmill to burn fat and so then the abdominal can excel.
