How To Loose Your Belly Fat And Get Flat Abs Fast



So you are at my article looking how to loose the belly fat that has accumulated over the years? If so you are in the right place. In this article I will tell you how to loose your belly fat and get flat abs.

Tip 1: Drink more water
The first thing you should do is to drink more water, especially before eating. It will help you to reduce your hunger and as a result you will eat less.

Tip 2: Try to move more
You should remember that you won't lose belly fat if you sit all day long. Try to walk more, jump more or do whatever you want to burn additional calories. I do not ask you to go to the gym, however you should try to move more. But if you have a free time, you definitely should visit the gym.

Tip 3: Eat less
Try to eat less. Spread your meals out and eat 5 smaller meals a day. Avoid having a meal at night.

Now i will tell you how to get flat abs. There are a lot of different exercises which will help you to get flat abs, but i will tell you about my favorite one.

Ab crunches:
1. Lye on your back.
2. Your hands should be crossed on your chest.
3. Bent your knee.
4. Raise yourself up using your abdominals. As you reach the top of the crunch slowly exhale and lower your back down to the flow as you inhale.

I have tried a lot of different fat loss and exercise plans. They all were worthless. 90 percent of these books is a scam. So don't be fooled. If you really want to loose your belly fat and get flat abs, you should take a look at the special book, which has helped me to get rid of my belly fat.

How To Get 6 Pack Abs Without Doing Situps



As a London Personal Trainer I often get asked how to develop a strong core and 6 pack stomach muscles. It seems that so many people are still practicing old exercises and cranking out hundreds of sit ups on a daily basis in the hope of reducing stomach fat and developing their 6 pack abs.

Doing regular sit ups or crunches will not only give you back problems but doesn't really help in developing your core and revealing your stomach muscles. Our core / stomach muscles are more complex than you may think and need to be worked in three different planes of motion for optimal results. Doing regular sit ups and crunches is both unnatural and only addresses one plane of movement, and it's not very good at doing that.

As well as taking the core / stomach muscles through 3 different planes of movement the body fat covering the abdominals must also be addressed. Forget the old wives tale about spot reducing fat, this simply isn't the case, hundreds of sit ups won't burn stomach fat - fat naturally comes off in layers from all over the body. The only way to reduce stomach fat is with a good total body exercise programme and by eating a healthy diet.

Remember that we all have stomach muscles waiting to be seen under our belly fat but in order to increase their size and make them more visible they need to be trained like any other body part. So, a combination of the correct abdominal / core exercises, a healthy diet and a good all over body routine will bring your 6 pack abs out for all to see.

I have found the following 6 exercises to be the best for stabalising your core and reducing potential back pain whilst bringing your abdominals / obliques to the surface.

1. The Side Plank - keep your hips inline, belly button in and maintain this position for as long as possible. Start with 30 secs and increase up to 2 minutes over time. Breathe!

2. The Front Plank - keep your body in a straight line, belly button in and arms at 90 degrees. Start with 30 secs and increase up to 2 minutes over time. Breathe!

3. The Bird Dog - keep your back flat, belly button pulled in, thumb up and out at 45 degrees. Opposite leg goes straight back. Start with 6 reps on each side and work up to 3 sets of 12.

4. The Front Mountain Climber - in a press up position with you back flat and belly button pulled in bring your knee straight up to your chest. Breathe out as you do so and contract your abdominals as if you were being punched in the stomach. Take leg back and repeat. Start with 6 on each side and work up to 3 sets of 12.

5. The Outside Mountain Climber - as above but drop your hips slightly and bring your knee to the outside of your elbow. Squeeze the side of your stomach, your obliques, together as if being folded in half sideways.

6. The Inside Mountain Climber - as with the above mountain climber but bring your knee across and squeeze the side of your stomach muscles (obliques).

Perform all these exercises 3 times a week along with your regular workout for the ultimate strong core and the highly elusive six pack stomach muscles.

Good luck and enjoy your new abs!!

How To Get Nice Abs Fast



Getting a nice set of abs is not so hard. The abdominals are a large muscle group that respond very effectively to stimulation in most people. Care must be taken with the abs and approaching it intelligently is vital. If you build this muscle group without paying close attention to presentation, you can actually end up with a large over sized mid rift for all your work. Proportion and presentation is the key.

Building large shoulders or arms requires lots of work, however the abdominals respond easy. Most people get the two confused. They endeavor to work their abs really hard, often they have a thick layer of fat covering their abdominals so it becomes difficult to see the results of their work. So they work even harder. This is important...when you build bigger abdominals and you have a layer of fat across them, you will actually make your mid section look bigger not smaller! The larger muscles of the abdominals pushes out the thick layer of skin to make an even larger mid section.

The key to a nice set of abs is reducing the over all body fat percentage. You are not really trying to make your abs massive like you do for the shoulders and arms if you are a guy. The abs are a center piece, to a nice muscular body. They are the focal point on a good looking muscular body. But here is the confusion. They are a focal point because they are small. Not because they are big in proportion to the shoulders, pecs and arms.

It's a strange contradiction that most people fail to recognize. The logic goes, if I am working my abs, I must make them grow bigger. But the truth is you are not. You are putting in effort to make the mid section as SMALL as possible compared to you upper body. In this way you get the attractive V shape.

Working the ab muscles mildly and lowering your body fat percentage is the key.

How to Get 6 Pack Abs Without Going to the Gym



You have always wanted to have 6 pack abs, but just didn't think that it was attainable. Well, one can have just that, one just needs to know how to get 6 pack abs without going to the gym. The gym was fine years ago and still is for those who have the time and the money. But the world is now in the 21st century and moves at a fast pace. Many of us just simply don't have the time. So here is a way to get your new abs, in the privacy of your own home.

To begin with, assign a small area of floor space as your own personal gym. Buy a yoga mat, or even easier, commandeer the living room rug and place it on the floor which from now on will be your personal gym at home.

Make sure the rug or mat is near your bed so you can use the edge of your bed to place your feet for ab crunches. By assigning a mat or rug like this, you create a mental reminder that will always sit there reminding you to do your 3 sets a day. If you have done them, seeing the mat or rug on the floor will give you good feelings and a sense of achievement. If you skipped them, the rug will be a nagging reminder that they still need doing.

Make sure to drink large amounts of water through the day and especially during the work out. Growing muscles and especially increasing the size of the abdominals requires lots of fluid. The anabolic effect is a process where nutrients and amino acids are assigned and travel to the muscles being rebuilt. If you are de-hydrated, the movement of those micro nutrients have a harder time being moved by the body. Message is clear...drink copious amounts of water every day. There are many other health benefits, like it flushes toxins out of your system more effectively.

Before any exercise, stretch your body. You can do this lying down or standing up, whichever is easier for you. Once you have stretched, lie down (if you are not already lying down) and bend your knees toward your chest. Did you drink some water before your stretched? Now place your hands behind your head and breathe in. While breathing out lift your head up until you feel a nice pull in the stomach muscles. Release and lie your head back down.

Repeat a set of 12. Stretch and drink some water. Repeat another set of 12 and stretch again. Then one more time. You are done. When you get up, get up slowly, so to not become dizzy.

Do these exercises every day, and once you have reached the desired effect of a tight lean six pack, to maintain healthy abs, perform these exercises three times a week.
