How To Get A Flat Stomach

If you want to get a flat stomach you will need to target your core - your core include your transverse abdominals. You can often be using these muscles without even realizing it - when you hold your tummy in you are using these muscles. To get a flat stomach you will need to concentrate on exercises that use these muscles.

Some of these flat stomach exercises are;

Pelvic tilts are a great flat stomach exercise. Lie on the floor with your back pressed down onto the floor, bend your knees keeping your feet flat on the floor. You then tilt your pelvis up and hold it before lowering it back down to the floor slowly.

Scissor kicks - again this is a lie on the floor exercise. Place your hands under the gludeus with your back being pressed flat on the floor. Raise one leg about 8 - 10 inches from the floor, then slowly lower it back down again. As you lower the first leg you begin to move up the other leg.

Another very useful exercise for a flat stomach is to again lie flat on the floor as with the pelvic tilts and scissor kicks, then you need to concentrate on your navel just as though something is attached to the floor, drawing it down. While the navel is drawn to the floor inhale and exhale. This exercise will build up strength around your waist.

All of the exercises need to be done with at least ten repetitions.

If you work to tone your abs it will result in a nice flat stomach, as well as a slimmer, tighter waistline.
