1. One of the first things people need to realize about flattening their belly is that when you begin eating smaller, more balanced portions of food you simply make a significant change on how the belly looks. One of the reasons most people do 100 sit-ups and can’t get a flat belly is because their gut is too full. By eating smaller portions you’re moving toward a flatter belly.
2. Overall body fat contributes to how lean the belly is. You can’t lose body fat on the belly. The body’s fat compartment is one system. Doing leg exercises actually burns five times more body fat than doing sit-ups. Exercising the whole body is the way to burn fat off the belly. The notion that doing sit-ups burns fat off the belly is a myth.
3. You don’t have to do sit-ups every day. Exercising the ab muscles twice a week is plenty. For example, perform your ab exercises every Monday and Thursday. Muscles become stronger and more firm through the process of adaptation. We stress the muscle and then it recovers and comes back stronger and better. The muscles need time to recover.
4. Oftentimes people don’t realize one of the reasons they’re tummy isn’t tighter is because of their posture. Their shoulders are falling and their posture is beginning to lean forward. Practice healthy posture with your shoulders up and back straight while walking, sitting at your desk and exercising. Doing this while exercising helps flatten the belly.
5. Two highly recommended ab exercises are crunches and leg lifts on the stability ball. These exercises work the most muscle fibers and get the best results the fastest. The stability ball causes you to activate virtually every muscle in the upper and lowers abs. The whole midsection core has to work to pull off the crunches and leg lifts.
