Best Ways to Flatten stomach

There's no way to shrink only one part of your body, in order to get a flat stomach, you will need to lose weight. But doing ab exercises can tone your stomach and help it to trim off a bit of flab.

Try doing crunches for a start. Many don't do crunches properly, ensure that your back is straight and you're not simply throwing out your spine rather than working your abs. Stay focused on your core and use it to pull your top half upwards without relying on the force from your arms, or weight on your legs.

You can also try doing a plank. Lie on your stomach and prop yourself up by your elbows and toes, keeping your back straight and perfectly in line with your legs. Hold this position for a minute each day. This works not only your abs, but your legs and arms as well.

When doing any exercise, try to be as consistent as possible. Don't push yourself too hard, do the amount of exercise you're comfortable with, then commit to doing it again the next day, then the next.

It’s obvious that you have to take a calorie-deficit diet in order to lose weight around your stomach. One approach to reduce your belly is to reduce your daily calorie intake by 1000 calories. This way, you can lose around 1 kg per week.

However, a calorie-deficit diet can decrease your metabolism rate. Therefore, the number of calories you burn on a daily basis will be low and this approach can counteract.

Your metabolism rate will not increase even after you go back to the normal diet. So, go on a calorie-deficit diet for only 2 to 3 days a week.

Doing cardio is an excellent way to burn fat around your belly. Research shows that cardio and resistance training strengthen your midsection while reducing your waist. It is recommended to do 300 minutes of cardio every week. This translates to about 30 minutes of exercise every day.
