Free Exercises to Flatten Stomach
Today we'll give you some essential, free exercises to flatten your
stomach, and tell you why a lean, shapely stomach isn't as simple to
achieve as the sellers of exercise contraptions would have you believe.
Exercises to Flatten Stomach - the Fallacy
There are countless ab rollers, ab balls, and suspended chairs which rock
and gyrate, all claiming to be the one solution that will flatten your
stomach. And yet, our waistlines grow steady every year. So
where does the problem lie?
The problem begins with people seeking the wrong solution for their
bulging bellies. An over weight stomach isn't caused by untoned
stomach muscles, so there is little surprise that exercising them doesn't
gain the desired effect.
Our every increasing waistlines owe their size to the layer of fat which
covers our abdominal muscles. Strengthening the muscles themselves
won't remove the fat. Hence, laboring over exercises to flatten
your stomach, while well meaning, won't address the actual cause.
Step One to Flatten your Stomach
The first step to flatter your stomach is reducing the excess fat stored
around your middle. A properly approved weight loss program like
Slim for Life is what is required here.
Step Two to Flatten your Stomach
Once the fat is reduced, the stomach muscles begin to show, and this is
where exercises come into their own. So let's evaluate some free
exercises to flatten your stomach.
The main purpose of your abdominal muscles are to flex your torso
forward. However, there are sets of muscles which also provide a
twisting motion. You'll need to work both muscle groups.
-
forward flexion exercises (reverse crunches, knee raises, standard
crunches)
-
side flexion exercises (side bends, side crunches)
-
rotational exercises (trunk rotations, standing twists)
Choose separate exercises to target the upper, lower, and transverse
muscle groups. Some possible choices are:
-
Hanging knee raises
-
Standard crunches
-
Reverse crunches
-
Leg raises
-
Leg lowerings
-
Torso rotations
-
Side bends
