The words flat and abs got your attention, didn't they? Want to know the secret to getting a tight tummy and flat abs? The secret is... there is no secret. There is however, a formula that works for everyone.Attaining a flat and tight abdominal area will depend on the total amount of body fat you have to lose. However, anyone can flatten the mid-section… Yes, anyone!
If you read my articles often, you know that I place a great deal of emphasis on reducing body fat through a calorie-reduced nutrition program and by incorporating weight training and cardiovascular exercise to stimulate the metabolism.
Abdominal exercises serve to strengthen and tighten the abs, so when your body fat reduces -- you then see the fruits of your labor (flat abs!). I'm focusing on three abdominal exercises that will strengthen and tighten your tummy, but your food intake must be taken into consideration.
Extreme Flat Abs routine will require some gym equipment, but it's very effective for tightening the upper and lower abdominal region, as well as the oblique muscles ("love handles").Starting Position:
-- Lie on a mat with your lower back in a comfortable position.
-- Bring your knees up to about a 45-degree angle.
Movement:
-- Slowly go through a bicycle pedaling motion alternating your left elbow to your right knee, then your right elbow to your left knee.
Key Points:
-- This can be a more advanced exercise. Do not perform this activity if it puts any strain on your lower back.
-- Do not pull on your head and neck during this exercise.
-- The lower to the ground your legs bicycle, the harder your abs have to work.
