For many of us, getting a flat stomach can be so difficult that we just give up. A major factor that contributes to people giving up is that they just aren't eating right or doing the right exercises. So if we've been going about it all wrong, what's the right way to get a flat stomach? Believe it or not crunches or sit-ups are not the best way to get a flat stomach. Cardio is the key to a flat stomach. Cardio exercises burn way more calories then simple stomach exercises such as crunches or leg lifts. Cardio
exercises actually burn fat from your entire body, instead of just one targeted area. This will lead to your fat burning on your stomach and your stomach muscles beginning to show. Your key to getting a flat stomach is starting today! If you're not ready to begin a new workout routine you can begin by changing your eating habits and lose some fat this way. Once you've gotten accustomed to a cardio regimen, and lost a significant amount of weight, those sit ups and crunches we discussed before will help you define and further flatten out your belly. That said, let's look at which crunch exercises work the best. For working your upper abs, the basic crunch is your best exercise. You perform a basic
crunch by lying flat on your back, preferably on an exercise mat. With your hands at the side of your head and your knees bent 90 degrees.
You will left your shoulders off the ground as if you were attempting to touch your knees with your chest. Make sure you don't move your legs. This exercise should engage only your stomach muscles. Do this for 3 or 4 sets, 15 to 30 times a set. Give yourself some time to rest between sets. For lower
abs the best workout by far is a reverse crunch. The reverse crunch requires you to lie on your back with your hands directly behind your head, knees bent, and feet roughly 5 inches from the ground. You need to slowly bring your knees toward your chest and pick your butt slightly off the ground. You need to concentrate on your stomach muscles. Again preform this exercise in 3 to 4 sets. As before you should repeat the move 15 to 30 times per set and rest for about 2 or 3 minutes in between.
These are the two best exercises that can help you define and flatten your stomach, in spite of the hype the multitude of other exercises might get. Poor
dieting practices and improper exercise are the fatal blow to most people's attempt to achieve a flat stomach. I highly suggest taking these tips in this article serious, and performing these exercises exactly how they are outlined. This is your chance to get a flat stomach you don't wanna cheat yourself. If the exercise calls for sets of 3-4, that doesn't mean you should just do 1 and than maybe 5 the next day to make up for it. You need to consistently perform the exercises outlined in this article for you to be truly successful in getting a flatter stomach. Good luck and get exercising! For more great advice on
