Flatten Your Stomach Quickly Exercises

If you can flatten your  stomach you can look forward to the following bodily improvements: A flat stomach improves your posture, strengthens your back and makes you less susceptible to injury and illness. A flat stomach will improve your appearance too. Also if you look good you will feel great. Unfortunately, modern living encourages weak muscles and a sagging stomach. But you can do something about it.

How you can flatten your stomach with exercise:

To flatten your stomach through exercise concentrate on the four muscle groups that support your stomach- upper abdominals, lower abdominals, external oblique and internal oblique.

Details:

Upper and lower abdominals are on the front of the abdomen and form a row of muscles that runs from the ribs to the pubic bone. When they are well developed they are oblong in shape. The top half comprises the upper abdominals and the bottom half includes the lower abdominals.

The external and internal obliques are not as easy to see as the abdominals, but are just as important. They form two bands of muscles that stretch down either side of your body, between your abdomen and waist. They run from the bottom of the ribs to the top of the hips. The internal oblique lies beneath the external oblique.

Before starting any of these exercises to flatten your stomach, avoid any strain or injury to your stomach muscles by doing this simple warm-up:

Upper body warm-up:

Stand up as straight as possible and place your arms above your head. Hold this position for five seconds, then lower your arms so they’re outstretched by your side. Again hold for five seconds, then swing your arms so they’re outstretched in front of you- and hold for five more seconds. Do all three arm movements at least three times each.

Lower body warm-up:

Lie down on your left side in a straight line with your right leg resting on the left one. Next gently lift your upper leg about 12 inches above your lower leg and make a small circular movement with your foot. After each circle, lower your leg again and repeat at least five times. Then turn over and do the same with your left leg.

Now that your warmed up you can start the exercises that will flatten your stomach quickly with incredible results. Go to my next post for the main exercises to flatten your stomach, click here.
