5 Great Tips to Flatten Your Abs

Are you not satisfied with the way your stomach looks? Embarrassed to go to the beach or the pool? Or do you just wish to make your abs more flat and firm? If so, then read on. I will tell you five simple tips that will greatly help to flatten your abs - they're easy to do and free. Follow these and create the body that you desire.

1. Perform different ab exercises each week. If you change your abdominal exercises up each week you will speed up your results. Change is good for building muscle because it constantly targets new muscle groups and keeps your muscles from "getting used to" your workout, which limits its effectiveness. So try changing you routine each week and I am sure that you will notice results faster.

2. Proper breathing. They way that you breath during exercise can actually help build your muscle. You should always exhale during exertion. This decreases your internal air pressure, which results in your abs being more involved during the exercise.

3. Eating habits. You should eat fresh, whole, unprocessed foods, while staying away from the foods high in sugar and sodium. You also should try to drink eight glasses of water a day (and no soda or coffee). Try drinking ice water - the extra coldness will actually speed up your metabolism and increase the amount of calories that you burn.

4. Aerobic exercises. Try doing 30 - 45 minutes of cardio 3 days a week. This will help burn extra fat and expose your abdominals, thus increasing the speed at which you start to see results.

5. Keep your abs contracted. Try contracting and hold your ab muscles while you sit, stand, drive, or perform other exercises. This will help flatten your mid section and will actually reduce strain on your back.

These five tips are easy and effective. If you do them properly and consistently, I guarantee that you will start to see results soon. Now is the best time to start building that new, sexy you! To learn more on how to firm and flatten your abs, visit http://www.lifefitnessblog.com/
