I'm 23 years old and weigh 93lbs...I am 4'11. I am naturally thin but I want a flatter tummy. I have been doing sit ups for two months without any results. It doesn't even hurt to do it anymore. I'm so frasturated because I have an audition in two weeks and I have to wear a midriff shirt. I've waisted two months on nothing! I need something that will work fast. I'm a vegetarian so diet has nothing to do with it. Plus I don't have money to join a gym or buy anything. Any exercise that will work and have quick results?

By exercising your Transversus Abdominus Muscle. This is the muscle in your abdomen that holds your stomach in giving you the flat belly look. This muscle acts like a corset around your tummy by holding your tummy in and if the muscle is weak, your belly will be distended more easily making your tummy looking much bigger than it should just like having a beer belly. This is one of the reasons why people have pot belly or beer belly besides simply blaming it on tummy fat. This is the muscle that can help you get that flat stomach look. If you want to get that flat stomach look, you must strengthen this muscle.

Just to have a feel of how this muscle work, try blowing out all the air in your lungs and pull your tummy in. There, you have just used your transversus abdominus muscle to execute that movement.

Start the exercise by exhaling all the air from your lungs hard. At the same time, pull in your tummy as tight as you can and at the same time visualizing your belly button is about to touch your spine. Do breathe lightly in that position and hold the posture for about 45 seconds. Then repeat the exercise for a few more sets. You will then be teaching your abs muscle to continuously hold your tummy in giving you flat stomach look.

The beauty of this exercise is that you carry it out everywhere and anywhere without ever going to the gym. It is so discreet that people will not even notice you exercising even when you are waiting for the office lift or at your desk at work.

A more effective version of this exercise would require you to be on all fours in a crawling position. Then execute the exercise as described above except that this time, you are on your hands and feet. Do both exercises every other day and when combined with a fat loss routine of a proper diet, weight training and cardio exercises, you will get that flat stomach look in no time along with that glorious six pack abs

remember, products are a tacky no no. all they do is harm ur body. it isnt as natural as regular excersise. i read this article about flat stomaches and it said that it includes harmful products.
Good Luck~! Best Wishes to yooh!~

I have the same body type, I'm very petite but my love handles tend to get too large if I don't exercise enough. Situps alone are not enough (but try crunches instead, theyre a lot better), aerobic exercise is really what helped me lose that extra weight around my stomach. Go for a morning jog or find a friend with a treadmill or better yet, an elliptical.

Best of luck!

do tummy crunches and breath really fast -when i say breath i mean like your belly should go in and out do this continuously for 1 minutes then takes a 30 sec break and start again do this for however long you want you should see the effect in 2 weeks or so.Do exercises with a hoola hoop and do pilates.

I think this person really knows what she's talking about. She says you have to keep your stomack curved in as much as possible, because ab muscles tend to develop in the shape that you train them.
