There is a healthy way to go about getting into the best shape of your life and that’s why this site exists, to show you how to beat the fat the healthy way.  Keep in mind that diet is about 70% of the problem and lack of exercise is the other 30%.  Lets start with some exercises you can do to tighten up your abs.  One more thing, you must realize that knowing how to lose back fat can make your waist look slimmer and is very important so we will look at back exercises too.  Your upper stomach is not usually the problem area but can benefit from having a little more strength and being a little tighter so we will hit it to a certain degree.

Stomach Exercises for Flat Abs

• Crunches- Lie down on the ground and crunch, decreasing the distance from your rib cage to your pelvis.  Keep your hands on the ground and make sure your hands move forward at least 3 inches on each rep.
• Scissors- Keep you legs straight and cross them, alternating which foot goes on top.
• Leg Lifts- Legs straight, raise legs up until they are vertical and then lift your butt off the ground, then return the legs back down until they almost touch the floor.
• Alternating Leg Lifts- These are leg lifts except you let the legs drop to alternating side each rep.
• Heel Touches- Lay down and put feet on the ground with knees bent and then go side to side touching each heel.  Keep your shoulder blades off the ground the whole time.
• Cherry Pickers- Sit on ground and lean back to a 45 degree angle, clasp hands together and touch hands to the ground alternating side to side.
• Tucks- Crunch while tucking the legs in towards you at the same time.

The exercises above are all you need to have a great looking stomach.  Remember that the workout is only 30% of the results and the other 70% is in the diet.  You can do exercises to lose belly fat all day long but if it were a test you would only get a 30& which would fail without proper diet and nutrition. Start off by doing each exercise for twenty reps.  On week 2, after you recover from being sore, you will do 5 minutes straight of exercises alternating through each one for a minute each.

So what can you do to flatten that tummy?  Following a few simple guidelines will produce great results.  You need to cut down on how much fat you eat each day.  A good way to do this is to never eat anything that has more grams of fat than grams of protein.  This is simple because you don’t have to count calories or carbs.  Why obsess over how many calories you eat?  Calories are energy and you need it.  I got a six pack never looking at how many calories anything had.  Did I care how many carbs I ate each day? No!  I love carbs, they are the best and most readily available form of energy in your diet.  If you are eating a semi-healthy diet you won’t need to worry about counting calories.  Just remember the simple rule that if a food has more fat than protein, don’t eat it.  If you find something that has 9 grams of protein and 10 grams of fat DONT eat it.  The diet isn’t too hard to follow and you will begin to see results in a week if you combine it with the stomach exercise routine above.
