The first is fad diets..
The second is that they want a sexy stomach so they do 400-600 reps of abdominal workouts every day after doing 60 minutes of cardio. If you are one of them, here is my question to you, does it work? Do you have a six pack? The answer is most likely no. The abdominal muscles work exactly like any other muscle group. We don't work our legs everyday because they would never be able to repair and build muscle, so WHY do we do it to our abs??
If you want flat abs, you need to burn fat that is on top of your muscle, you also need to work the other parts of your body because these exercises use your core to stabilize, you get an abdominal workout by doing them.
