Are there really exercises that can help you get a flatter stomach? You probably would assume that all common exercises for a flatter stomach like crunches and bridges (aka planks) will assist in flattening your stomach and strengthen your core region. Clearly, you got one assumption right as they do strengthen your core. Regardless, as far as flattening your belly; it takes a lot more than just exercise.
However, here are just a few tips and exercises for a flatter stomach that I think would really help you out.
Do a Lot of Lower Abs
The lower abs is commonly the most difficult part to develop when it comes to belly fat. If you are doing exercises for a flatter stomach everyday then be sure to do a lot more lower ab exercises than upper ab ones.
Your workouts should be very intense so that you are efficiently burning fat and not just moving around for no particular reason. Here are a few lower ab exercises that would greatly help you out:
Bent Knee Abdominal Hip Raises
Decline Abdominal Crunches
Exercise Ball Abdominal Pull-Ins
Hanging Knees to Chin Raises
Abdominal Flutter Kicks
Flat Bench Abdominal Leg Pull-Ins
Flat Bench Abdominal Leg Raises
Aim to do these exercises before you start on other body parts because they will get your blood pumping and body heated for guaranteed fat burning results. Insert a bit of cardio or high intensity interval training if you can. These techniques have proven extremely valuable when trying to burn fat.
Why Do More Than Just Exercise?
Belly fat is a despicable son of a gun! You could be training your butt off every single day and still discover no changes. The reason for this is because you may still be consuming more calories than you are losing. The most common cause is a person's eating habits.
This is the reason why countless health and fitness professionals propose combining a proper diet with workouts for more effective and guaranteed results. There are heaps of amazing diets you can find online but be wary because most are all talk and have no proven results.
You must be happy and comfortable with a diet of your choice. If you aren't enjoying yourself while trying to get a flatter stomach then you would probably be better off not trying to get one anyway.
Dedication and consistency perform a major role when trying to reach your goals for anything in life, mainly when it comes to your health.
