ok...need a flatter belly quick.. doin the situps and everything??

Question

o.k. i'm working out.. i'm doing everything right and i'm getting fit everywhere but my belly... give me some quick fixes to flatten this tummy of mine before my class reunion in a month... lol.. pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaazzzzzzzzeeeeeee...

Answer 1

Try crunches instead of situps as they actually work your mucsles better.

Answer 2

Okay, first thing I would say is don't eat junk/fried food and drink soda. Drink 8 glasses of water a day, go jogging. Also watch your salt and sodium intake. Do some stretching/pilates/yoga. Eat fruits and veggies.

Lower/erase your meat consumption and replace that with peanut butter (same food group as meat). Get your 3 servings of dairy. Drink green tea (it is a natural antioxident and fat regulator)

Answer 3

First significantly reduce sodium,processed and fatty foods from your diet. Try to have a diet that is primarily fruit/veggie based with healthy proteins. Add 45-60 minutes a day of cardio and you'll be better than ever!

Answer 4

There really are not "quick fixes" - to get a flat stomach, you need to lose the fat, and that means a combination of nutrition, resistance training, and cardio. You might try increasing the amount of cardio you do, training more intensely, and restricting portion sizes for awhile to burn that last bit of stubborn fat.

Answer 5

If you aren't going to be wearing anything that shows your belly the best thing that I have tried are body shapers. I love them. They make me look like I never even had a baby. Get one at walmart or any department store. I get the ones with the maximum control. Seriously, they are amazing!

Answer 6

My AB Workout consists of 3 basic exercises. These exercises work on the 3 abdominal groups, worked out in the correct order to get maximum results.

1. Leg raises (Rectus Abdominis)
2. Side Crunches ( External/Internal Obliques)
3. Straight Crunches (Transverse Abdominis)

Here is how it works. You want to get up to where you are doing 3 sets of 25 reps for each exercise. But start with one set of 15, then 20, then 25. Then start with 2 sets of each, then finally 3 sets. Only allowing a 30 to 45 second break between sets.

1. Lie flat on a mat, with your hands placed at your lower back, close to your butt. Now with your legs bent slightly, and toes pointed away from your body, with legs together, lift your legs up 6 inches off the ground. Each rep consists of lifting your legs from 6 inches to 12 inches. You cannot put your legs on the ground till the set is done. Go between 6 inches, to 12 inches, and back. Each time you reach the 6 inch mark, count one rep. Each movement should be one second. One second up, one second down.

2. Lie with your back flat on the mat, your legs should be bent so that your feet are flat on the mat, about shoulder width apart. Your hands should not be behind your head, but place them under your opposite armpits, or chest. Now you curl up, not lifting your lower back off the mat, (these are crunches, not situps) Your rep consists of curling your right elbow towards your left knee, and then the other side. You do not touch your knee. One second up, one second, down. One second other side, one second down. A rep consists of both sides being done. So your rep is done when you have moved up, and down, on each side. (This one you will notice right away)

3. Lie the same way as in number 2 above, with the hands in the same position. Now this one you just curl straight up, hold for a second, then back down. Do not jerk yourself up, Curl yourself up. Each rep consists of one up, and one down. Each time you are on the mat with your back, counts as one rep.

NOTE: You can do abs every day. But I find if I rest one day a week, I reward myself for sticking with it.

GOOD LUCK, and enjoy your SIX PACK.

Answer 7

belive it or not try rowing or canoeing. it is great excersise and primarly uses your lats and abs. wider lats makes your waist look even smaller. if your gym has a rowing machine give it a try.
