Finding the solution to flat, toned abs and fat-free stomach muscles is the most common goal of all. Most people will spend years working out with the exercises they think will help them achieve these flat stomach results. But the truth is very few people understand the key exercises behind a flat stomach. But you are about to!
Most people think sit-ups and crunches are the answer to flat abs. THEY ARE NOT!
Your stomach has many, many different muscles, all of which need to be worked for maximum fat burning results. Sit-ups work very few of these muscles. So no matter how long you spend doing them, you must do other exercises if you ever want a flat stomach.
So the answer is doing exercises that engage all of the muscles around the stomach in 1 exercise. This way you will be burning far more calories and far more fat than you ever have before.
There are many exercise that do this, but the best place to start is with the front and side planks;
Front Plank
Position: Raise up on your elbows and toes holding your body up (rest on knees if this is too difficult).
Technique: Raise hips so your whole body is in a straight line. Hold position still.
Points To Remember: Make sure your back remains flat, i.e. your hips don’t sag down or raise up too high. Make sure your elbows stay directly beneath your shoulders and don’t slide further forward.
Side Plank
Position: Lay on your side with legs straight and your elbow directly beneath your shoulder. Place one foot over the top of the other.
Technique: Push hip off the floor, resting on your feet and elbow. Squeeze the hip as high as possible and hold position still.
Points To Remember: Keep your body straight, i.e. don’t lean forward or backwards. Make sure your elbow remains directly beneath your shoulder and doesn’t slide forward.
Repeat above on other side.
Give these two a go. Do them every day if you can, doing each one 3 times if possible. More stomach flattening exercises coming soon, so don’t forget to pop back!
Today’s Takeaway: You must do exercises that engage all the stomach muscles at once if you want to get flat abs.
