3 Flat Tummy Exercises You Can Do At Home

Having a flat tummy is top on most women’s list of body goals. No one wants to have a round belly poking out of their clothes, unless you’re pregnant of course. Having a flat tummy makes it so much easier to wear nice clothes in every fabric you desire. Imagine all the bodycon dresses you could buy and rock if your belly would just cooperate.

That’s why you need to do flat tummy exercises and here are some you can do at home, no gym necessary:

1. Sit ups

This one is popular, and a winner too. The reason why most people don’t get results from sit ups is that they either give up too soon or they don’t stop eating mountains of eba while exercising. Exercise must be mixed with healthier eating or it won’t make a difference. Start by lying flat on a mat with your face up. Lift your upper body towards your knees with your hands behind your head. Keep your lower body still. Movements should be done with your abdominal muscles for best effects. Do 5 reps of this and gradually work your way up.

2. Planks

This exercise is the truth! No matter how fit you are you will feel it where it matters. To do a plank, go down on the floor in the push up position. Raise yourself with your forearms while bending your elbows. Form a straight line through your body from shoulders to ankle, suck your belly button into the spine and hold on the position for some time and relax. Start with 8-10 seconds per rep but aim to hold for 60 seconds. Repeat three to five times.

3. Side Plank

This is a variation of the plank that helps with side stomach fat. Now you can say goodbye to those love handles aka belly rolls. Raise yourself up on your left arm. Lift your hip and knees off the floor and hold with your stomach muscles. Gently drop your hip and knees back to the floor to complete one rep.
