Exercise Doesn’t Have To Be Boring To Get A Flat Tummy

To get a flat tummy and lose unwanted belly fat you need to eat the right foods and burn more calories than you have eaten. And the only way to burn those calories is to get moving and do some exercise.

But if you find exercise boring and a chore, you’ll soon find excuses for not doing it. That means your goal to get a flat tummy will become even harder to achieve.

But if something is fun, you are more likely to stick with it. And exercising is no different. It should be something you look forward to doing. So how can you make exercise fun and get a flat stomach?

4 Fun Ways To Exercise and Get A Flat Tummy

1. Exercise With A Friend Or Partner

Not only does exercising with another person make you accountable to them, it also makes it harder to skip a workout. It’s great fun to exercise with somebody that keeps you company because it gives you a chance to catch up and do something together. It can be your better half, significant other, a personal friend or even someone from your work.

2. Give Yourself A Challenge

If you want to get a flat tummy and make things more interesting, give yourself a challenge. That could be anything from exercising more times per week, to walking or running greater distances, to learning new routines or new exercises.

3. Vary Your Routine

Regardless of what you do, if you do the same thing long enough, you’ll get tired of it. Exercising is no different. To keep your interest level high, vary your exercises or routine. You should be doing cardio, strength training and taking one day off per week anyway. But instead of doing the same routine all the time, mix it up.

Maybe one day you’ll walk or run; another day ride bike; a third day swim laps or do water aerobics. Even if you have different workouts each day that you exercise, don’t get into the rut of doing the same routine on the same day each week. As they say, “variety is the spice of life.”

When strength training, focus on working a different set of large muscle group each time you work out. For example, one day do upper body; the next day lower body. Every once in a while surprise your body, and out of the blue, throw in abdominal core routine. Just like in cardio, you can further mix it up by varying the types of exercises you do within each type of workout.

4. Reward Yourself

All of us like rewards as recognition for accomplishing something. Make it a point to reward yourself when you accomplish a fitness goal. It can be anything as long as it is something you enjoy or can use. For instance, maybe you decide to go see a movie or play when you reach your weight-loss goal. Or buy a new outfit because your old ones are getting too big!

Usually, you want your reward to support the goal you have achieved, but it doesn’t have to. Maybe your reward for reaching your goal is a small dish of ice cream or a slice of cake. As long as it is in moderation and don’t over indulge, celebrate your accomplishment with something you want and will enjoy.
