The Stomach Exercise for Your Entire Stomach

Everyday there are people spending countless hours in the gym repeating every stomach exercise they can and what many people do not realize is that it is importantAbdominal Advertisement to isolating particular muscles within the abdominal group. If you isolate each group, and do multiple exercises to strengthen each group of muscles in your stomach you will have much better results. Often times, the set of muscles in the lower stomach are ignored and no matter how much you exercise your stomach is not as fit as you want it to be. There are stomach exercises which isolate and work these muscles that you can do.

This first exercise involves trying to draw your naval in towards your spine. This exercise involves using muscles in your stomach that you may have not used before. To start, either lie or on your stomach or kneel down, try both ways to see which way is more comfortable for you. Keep your body relaxed and contract your stomach to move your belly button in towards your spine using only the muscles in your lower abdomen. Hold this position for ten seconds, if ten seconds is too easy, challenge yourself by holding this position for a longer time period. Hold the contraction until you either cannot feel it, or you feel other muscles working harder, when you feel this, let the contraction out.

Another great stomach exercise is the alternating toe touch, lie on the floor and use a mat or towel to cushion your spine. Put your feet up in the air and extend your right arm to touch your left foot. Use your lower abdomen to lift your shoulders off the floor when you do this. Lower yourself back down and switch hands to repeat. Keep your legs straight throughout the exercise and maintain space between your chin and your chest the entire time.

While you are still lying on the floor, try this next exercise which is somewhat similar to a sit up. Bend your knees so that your feet are flat on the floor and bend your elbows and put your hands behind your head. Use your lower abdomen muscles to lift your shoulders off the floor. Make sure you are lifting with your lower abdomen, do not use your arms or your neck. Hold this position and count to ten. Challenge yourself by increasing the number of seconds you hold it for as the exercise gets easier.

The next stomach exercise starts from the same basic position as the previous exercise. You will be lying on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. When you lie down, there is a space between your lower back and the floor naturally created by the curve of your spine. For this exercise you will use the muscles in your lower abdomen to push your lower back down flat to the floor. Only use your lower abdomen muscles to do this. Do not use your arms or legs. When you have pushed your back flat on the floor, hold this position for ten seconds. Just like all the other stomach exercises, you should continue to challenge yourself and hold the position for a longer period of time as your stomach muscles gain strength and endurance.

Make sure to combine each stomach exercise with your regular exercise routine and you will be much more likely to achieve the flat stomach you have been working so hard for.
