Default Tips to flatten tummy

Burning the fat from the stomach and achieving a toned belly are totally different goals that require different approaches. A healthy diet, slightly lower in calories than the body requires will help burn fat from all over the body including the stomach area. Food intake should only reduce calories a little at a time over the course of many months. This allows the body to develop into a fat burning mode and reduce fat around the stomach gradually. Reducing calories too much only causes a weight loss plateau which results in a lowered metabolism and even possibly a gain in weight


Tips to help flatten stomach by toning the belly muscles..

Use smooth controlled movements

You shouldn't be feeling a pull in the legs or hip joints when doing sit ups

Don't arch the back it may strain the lower back area

Don't get too much out of breath within the first few weeks

Try to comfortably increase the number of repetitions each workout

Sit ups can't really flatten stomach muscles very well

Crunches are one of the best for flattening stomach

Muscles adapt to repeated exercise so try performing different stomach exercises - under guidance of a gym instructor!

Try varying the speed at which the exercise is performed - be careful when at fast pace!

Always warm the stomach up thoroughly before exercising to flatten the belly

Exercise the side of the stomach as well as the front abs

Always perform stomach exercises under the guidance of a qualified gym instructor, especially for the first few workouts

Flattening the stomach is not an easy task, it requires the correct approach and attitude which should last until stomach muscles are visible!

Hope it helps

My mum flattened her stomach heaps by going for regular bike rides. Laughing is also good for exercising your stomach muscles.
Something you may not know: laughing 100 times is equal to 20mins on an exercise bike.
