I will show you how to avoid some of the more common mistakes people make along the way. This article will give you hints, tips and also an overall strategy to help you get a flat stomach and get that butt in shape. Don't Die Dieting. Are you eating enough? If you are on a diet, its possible that your calorie intake may be too low or you are simply eating the wrong foods at the wrong time. By reducing the amount of saturated fat and refined sugars you eat, you are well on your way to consistently reducing your overall body fat and, therefore, the fat around your midsection. This does not mean that you cannot eat your favourite foods, everything in moderation. Eat what you want, when you want but always stop when you are full and only eat when you are hungry. Take your time eating, eat slowly, drink plenty of water and always sit down to meals.
Following this strategy will improve your health and allow you to treat yourself occasionally. Eating is a habit, its as easy to get into good habits as it is to get into bad habits. So food can actually help you get a flat stomach.
Be Strong - Get Strong
Muscle takes more calories to maintain then fat tissue. The more muscle tissue you have, the more you can eat. Its that simple. Resistance training can also help improve posture, improve overall tone and shape and also increase bone density. It does not mean that you will look like a body builder, unless you want to. You don't even have to spend money on weights, just get a few cans of beans from the cupboard and you can get started right at home. Once again, food can help you get a flat stomach, in a roundabout sort of way at least.
Lets get straight to the heart of the matter.
Ok, so we have looked at food and resistance training, the next component is get that heart rate up. Imagine no gym fees, no expensive home exercise equipment, no ab belts or ab rockets, no diet pills or food supplements. Just 20 minutes 3 times a week. All you have to do is take a brisk walk, run up and down the stairs, take a bike ride, walk the dog, walk to the shop or even just get off the bus a few stops earlier and walk the rest of the way. Its so easy that once you get started, it will form part of your lifestyle and you won't know how you managed without those vital 20 minutes. They will literally change your life.
Its very simple to get a flat stomach, eat what you want, when you want but stop when you are full and eat slowly, do some resistance training and get that heart beating and that body moving.
