Reply from Kelly, Age 14 - 04/11/07 - IP#: 69.129.18.xxx If you have excess fat around your stomach it most likely won't make you look bigger because you aren't building too much muscle because of that fat. Working your stomach muscles helps work off some of the fat.
Reply from Julie, Age 18 - 04/11/07 - IP#: 216.105.69.xxx They build muscles but don't burn fat. So if you are not doing anything to lose the fat as well, you'll just build muscles under that fat, sometimes making you look like you have a bigger stomach.

Reply from *Sarah*, Age 14 - 04/10/07 - IP#: 67.163.196.xxx they dont make you look fatter they make you look muscular(but only if theres no fat there in the first place) so yeah you may have another inch but you look sculpted and very fit.
