Still Trying To Get A Flat Tummy?
If you are trying to get a flat tummy it can sometimes seem that no matter how hard you 
try, you just cannot seem to shift that stubborn belly fat.
There is a lot of false information around on right foods and exercises to help lose belly fat.
A lot of people still try outdated exercises and are completely unaware of the correct way to work their abdominals and get the much-desired ‘six-pack.’
Doing ab exercises will not help you get a flat tummy
The body can’t be forced to lose fat in a certain area by exercising the muscles directly under that area. So, whilst doing loads of sit ups or crunches may increase your abdominal endurance or strength, it won’t burn off the fat in that area and help you to lose belly fat quickly. What you should be focusing on is losing overall body fat and gaining a little muscle. To get a flat tummy, you have to burn more calories than you eat. This means regular exercise with cardio, weight training and flexibility and a healthy, low-calorie diet.
The first step to lose belly fat
The first step to losing belly fat is to change your diet. Eating several small meals throughout the day will boost your metabolism and help you burn more calories. You need to monitor your portion sizes and make sure you’re eating less than you’re burning. Avoid processed foods, like canned, packaged or frozen foods and eat more naturally grown, hormone-free and pesticide-free foods. A controlled diet without exercise will lead to some weight loss, but at some point you’ll reach a plateau. Exercise can get you past this plateau while keeping your muscle mass. Your exercise program should include a mixture of both cardio and strength training.
Should You Still Do Ab Exercises?
So, is there any point to working your abs if ab exercises aren’t going to help reduce the fat around your belly. Incorporating ab exercises into a complete routine is the only way to get the flat tummy that you want. You still need exercise your abs, but as part of working your entire core. Your core are the muscles in your abs and back which support your spine and keep your body stable and balanced. The key is working and exercising multiple muscles at the same time to build strength, work on stability and burn more calories during your workout.
