How to make my stomach flat
If you want to make your stomach flat, then you need to follow a proper exercise, diet schedule and get sufficient sleep. You need to get the right proteins, carbohydrates, fibers and vitamins daily in your diet. There is no magical formula to make the tummy flat; exercise and hard work is the only way to make your tummy flat.
Diet:·
Intake Low carb diet·
Do not consume foods high in sugar content·
If possible do not eat junk food. If you need to eat junk food , consume less ·
Eat low fat food and avoid fried foods·
Drink fruit juices and plenty of water·
Eat lots of green leafy vegetable and fruits
Exercise: Jogging is the best exercise to start with. You need to jog for at least 20 minutes before you start doing the tummy exercises. Tummy crunch or sit ups is the best exercise for your stomach. Do the tummy crunch in different variations. The more the repetitions, the more strength for your tummy muscles. Swimming is also a good exercise for the whole body. Some yoga poses also help in strengthening the upper and lower part of the tummy and also increase the flexibility of the stomach muscles. Sleep: Sleep is a necessity for rest, relaxation and recuperation. You need to get a good sleep, to recharge your muscles after a workout. On an average an adult needs around 8 hours of sleep. If you rest for fewer hours, the risk of becoming overweight increases.

The key to 6 packs is lower your body fat to less than 10%. You cannot spot train abs. The reason your stomach is bigger is because you are building ab muscles under the fat and it is pushing the fat out. Watch your diet and weight train.

Here's a tip... Rent some vidoes, or hit a gym and ask the trainer at the gym... And you're only 12, don't worry about it! Lay off the junk and eat healthy foods. And the sit-ups and push ups aren't enough. You need to do a variety of exercises and for some people i know, those numbers are small compared to what they do in the run of a day... Maybe also at night is not the right time of day for you to work out. Try in the morning or in the middle of the day... Give it a shot! Hope it works out for you!

Rome wasnt built in a day and your abs wont be either. you can do 300 sit ups and 150 push ups a day and all that can account for nothing if your execution(form), rest between workouts, diet and cardio isnt put into the mix as well remember you are only twelve give your body time to grow before entering any strenuous workout routine. believe and you will achieve.

you cant beat your genes... i know a body builder that still looks fat although he is well muscled...
if you are thin type, you'll have an easier time to have your muscle curves show (sixpack)
could affect your growth too since you're only 12. :)

In addition to exercise, it's also important to take control of your diet.
Try chicken breast meat. No fat, just proteins.

you should do more cardio to get the fat off first. eat a low fat diet and be sure to eat low amounts of sodium as it makes you retain water.

Stop posting questions on Yahoo. And exercise more. Also stop eating anything that is unhealthy. (including excess chocolate). I am dead serious about the food issue.

eat more veggies, lower the fatty stuff, do a variety of exercises, go to bed early (take this one seriously esp. because you're 12!)
