5 Tummy Exercises To Give You A Flat Stomach
There are plenty of tummy exercises you can do to get the flat stomach
you have always dreamed of but what you may not realize is that it is more
important to have an
exercise regime that affects your whole body, not just
your tummy. These exercises will be much easier if you make sure you are
breathing properly to do them, control your breathing and keep it slow and
steady while you are exercising. Also, maintain a balanced diet to give you
the energy you need to exercise to keep that tummy flat.
The first tummy exercise will benefit your upper abs. Lie flat on the floor
and bend your knees with your feet flat on the floor. Put your hands behind
your head and extend your elbows outward. Look up at the ceiling and raise
your head, neck and shoulders upward, use your abdominal muscles to lift
your chest and chin upwards. Hold this position for a few seconds and slowly
lower yourself back to the floor. Only use your abs for this and not your
arms. Repeat this exercise until you are too tired.

For your lower abs, lie flat on the floor with your hands flat on either
side of your head. Keep your hands, head and shoulders flat on the floor
raise your legs up as straight as you can, keeping them together at all
times. Hold for a count of three and then slowly lower. Do not rush this
exercise; it is more effective if you use slow, controlled movements. You
can also do this exercise on an exercise bench so you can grasp the edges of
the bench to provide more leverage.
Another exercise for your abs and thighs is to lie flat on your back with
your hands behind your head. Hold your legs together and bend your knees,
raise your legs up until your thighs are perpendicular to the floor. Then
lift your chest and head toward your legs. Hold for about twenty seconds and
lower slowly, if twenty is too long try ten seconds and work your way up to
twenty.
This next exercise defines your waist and hips. You will need a bar or
straight piece of wood about four feet long, it does not need to be heavy,
you can even use your broom handle at home. Put the middle of the bar behind
your neck and bend your arms and hold each end with your hands. Keep your
feet about a foot apart and slightly bend your knees. Bend your waist
sideways without moving your lower body. Return to the upright position very
slowly and lean to the other side without pausing. Lean as far as you
comfortably can to each side keeping your movements controlled and steady.
The last tummy exercise requires you to suspend your body off the ground.
You could use the horizontal bars in your gym or a tree or the jungle gym in
the park. Hang from the bar and bring your knees up as far as you can to
your chest and then lower them back down. This exercise is not only great
for your tummy but also form your arms, back, and thighs.
Always remember to stretch before you exercise and control your breathing.
Do not rush exercising; you will accomplish more if you have slow controlled
movements during these tummy exercises.
