Flat Abs

Crunches can only tone the abs. They cannot get rid of the fat layer that lies on top of the ab muscles. And the only way to lose the fat is to do some form of vigorous aerobic exercise like skipping, jogging, cycling and so on for no less than 30 minutes 3-4 times a week. These exercises are a must rather than an option because they help increase the metabolic rate, causing your body to use up all stored forms of energy, in short, your fat. Aerobics exercises target specific areas of body fat, weight training increases the body's overall metabolic rate, so in a way it enhances the action of aerobics.

I'm in the same boat as you. My fiance wont be back till around May so i need to start losing weight.

i also want to flat it but i dont know how to.please inform me if u get any good idea

Crunches definitely + jogging/cycling

Crunches are the best way to flatten your abs. Just lie on the floor and put your hands behind your head and use your stomach muscles ONLY to pull your self to a sitting position. It's harder than it sounds.

Make sure you watch your diet to. I know my abs look a lot better when I skip out on soda for a while, not to mention fast food and junk. Four months left till he comes home? Tell me how you do it before my husband leaves for his first deployment!

I have found that Pilates have helped me flatten my abs, and tones my butt, and thighs.

The Ab Energizer. My husband is using it right now because he has a desk job so he doesn't have time to work out and he can take it with him any where he goes. I got it on ebay for only $20 for him. It takes about a month to really see a difference it works great if you haven't got enough time or if your too mentally exhausted to work out.

Exercise DAILY. I have done Kathy Ireland's 12 min Abs and it make a great difference. I don't think I have ever had a FLAT stomach, but I could feel muscles in my abs, something that I have never felt before. I think I have given up on a flat stomach, after having 4 kids, I don't think anything of mine is the same!!!

oh I wish I had flat abs . . .I've got this exercise contraption at home, but my husband will NOT put it together!! But you can do some killer crunches on it . . . I miss my pre baby body!

sit ups, crucnches, and aerobics

Ha ha.. I know what you mean. I see my fiancee again in june. And then we're getting married in September of 08. So I have a while, but I'd love to get rid of my tummy and my thighs lol. And my arms a little too . So any help would be wonderful!!!

If you want a flat, enlongated waist do stretching exercise made for this purpose. Lay flat on a weight bench (try not to arch your back) with 5 0r 10 pound weight(one)with both hands grasping it, slowly raise it from the down position(resting at the knee level)over your head with elbow bent until you feel a pull down the middle of your mid section or torso slowly lift the weight up and down. You will get a better pull if you extend your shoulders a little off of the weight bench. Repeat this process as many time as your body will allow everyday.

aerobics is a good way to flatten then, walking is also good, 30 min a day a few days a week

its already flat. it is not one thing i am aware of.

My husband says cardio and crunches. He says crunches are nice and all but cardio needs to be going on to burn the fat. Granted, I'm too lazy to try this. I should start. I have a treadmill at home but haven't used it in months.
