Great Abdominal Workouts - 3 Tips to a Flatter Stomach
Basically, your workouts are going to consist of two parts.
The first part is to reduce the amount of fat you have in your stomach area, and the second part is to increase your muscle mass.
The fact of the matter is no matter how many crunches and other abdominal work outs you do, you will need to also concentrate on your nutrition by reducing your calorie intake and you will also need to do a bit of cardio to lose the fat in your belly that you already have.
The first exercise is called the side crunch which will target your oblique muscles.
Lie on your side with your knees bent just a little.
Place your arm that's on the floor right in front of your body, have your other arm touch your temple.
Make a crunch movement until your elbow reaches your side.
Do the exercise slowly and steadily and you should feel it in your obliques almost right away.
Flip over and do the other side.
The second exercise is called the Humble crunch.
This one is fairly simple.
Raise your knees until your feet are in a flat comfortable position.
Place your hands on your temples and roll yourself forward from your head to crunch your stomach.
You should feel this one fairly rapidly also.
The last exercise Is called the knees off the ground crunch.
Raise your legs (and cross your feet for balance) and so that your thighs are straight up.
Place your hands on your temples and roll your head forward and at the same time bring your knees in and crunch your stomach, Then roll back to the starting position.
Doing a combination of sets with these three exercises is just one of many great abdominal workouts available.
Remember nutrition, consistency and patience is the key to getting a great set of abs, or a flat stomach.
