   Abs are made in the kitchen. In addition to a great work out program you really need to eat right if you want to keep your results for the long term. Being fit is a lifestyle. There is no magic pill for it, you will have to work for it.

    Flat Stomach

    Friday, 11 September 2009

    I know what to do in order to get that flat belly. You have to eat right and eat smaller portions because if you don't. A lot of it will turn to fat.I know a woman at my job, she's pretty much overweight. She ate a large roast beef from Arby's. I can't even eat that much. I can probably eat a medium roast beef sandwich. She eats too much when she does eat and that's why she's fat. It's the same for everyone else.

    Flat Stomach...

    Thursday, 23 July 2009

    I am 30. I am a mom. I have a muscular flat stomach. How you sit, stand, stretch, eat, and breathe all affect the shape of your belly. If your stomach is allowed to loosely hang over your pants - That is the shape it will always remember. Even if you have a lot of excess around the middle you should tense your stomach in and up... I did not say suck it in! Pretend someone is going to punch you in the gut and you need to tense it up - Do this all day! Adding stretching a few times a day with the tensing will help - FAST! If you cannot tense all day - Start with red lights, frustrating conversations, every other commercial... You get the idea... Of course eating sensibly and exercising couldn't hurt... Also - Sit, stand - Straight! Stop slouching! You are training your muscles it's up to you to decide which shape they remember...

    No joke this works

    Monday, 07 July 2008

    For those that don't believe this works let me tell you. I am one of those people that PX90 has made a believer out of me. My husband started this program and he was 250 lbs. If you had looked at his profile you would have thought he swallowed snoopy, his stomach was that far out there. Anyway we say the commerical and my husband was like I've gotta have it and of course I laughed and said that the program will never work. Man how wrong I was. I'm in great shape and I've worked with trainers before but this was/is amazing. It requires work and dedication and with that you reach your goal. I love how in the video the instructor tells you to take a break if you need it. At the gym they are telling you just the opposite. My husband is now down to 216 lbs and that's without taking any supplements. He watches what he eats, eats small snacks (healthy) uses the PX90 workout. I can't say enough about the results. He loves it and completed his first 90 days. Hey is going back through to keep the results going. So take the risk and go for it. It is work the money and you will spend less here than you would at a gym (and if you are like most you don't go to the gym after you've purchased the membership).

    Please take the time to look at our articles on how to help you lose weight in the belly. I'd recommend looking at our flat belly diet article, as well as a good exercise program to go with it. Browse our site and read read read. You must become informed and then you must have the motivation to actually execute a weight loss plan.

    Other ways to help flat stomach

    Sunday, 20 April 2008

    I thought this information may be of use on other ways outside of those listed about to help you get a flat stomach: Habits That Will Shrink Your Middle Calm down. Too much stress can contribute to a potbelly. Stress increases levels of cortisol, a hormone that seems to direct fat to our middle, says Jacob Seidell, PhD, of the National Institute of Public Health in Bilthoven, Netherlands. To keep levels low, try this 5- to 10-minute stress reducer: Find a quiet, comfortable place to sit. Next, take several slow, deep breaths to help clear your mind. Continue breathing deeply and repeat the word "one" to yourself as you exhale. (If you get distracted, just bring your focus back to the word "one.") Practice this for 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a day. Skip the alcohol. That glass of wine with dinner may be part of the reason your jeans are too tight. Alcohol also tends to raise cortisol levels, sending fat to your belly, Dr. Seidell says. Stop smoking. "It keeps me thin," proclaim many smokers. But the truth is that smokers tend to have more abdominal fat than nonsmokers, says Dr. Seidell. (The stress hormone cortisol seems to be the culprit here too.) "When people stop smoking, the amount of abdominal fat actually decreases," he says. Eat more fiber. Not only is fiber great for overall weight loss (it fills you up so you don't eat as much), it also prevents constipation, which can cause your tummy to bulge, says Lawrence J. Cheskin, MD, a gastroenterologist and director of the Johns Hopkins Weight Management Center in Baltimore. To stay regular, aim for 25 to 35 g of fiber a day by eating more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables; or try a fiber supplement. Drink up. For premenstrual bloating, drink lots and lots of water. This will actually help flush away bloating, not make it worse.

    You make a good point and the over generalization is noted. Thanks for noting that for others to not be discouraged if they aren't sprinters. :)

    Long distance runners feelings hurt

    Saturday, 12 April 2008

    I felt the comment about only sprinters have muscle and flat stomach's was misleading. I do a mix of cardio, swimming, rollerblading, biking, and running - and my runs are all long distance. I also rock-climb and lift weights 2-3x per week. I have muscle and flat abs! It can be done - the most important thing to remember is perserverance - the results will come if the diet and exercise changes are lifestyle changes for good.

    Specific Stomach Exercises for six pack

    Thursday, 21 February 2008

    Build Muscle 1. Do Crunches. Lie on the floor (with or without a mat) and cross your arms in front of your chest. (Do not place both hands behind your head. Placing both hands behind your head can cause lower back problems in the long run as it places unnecessary stress on that part of your body from pulling on your head and neck.) Another alternative is to cross your arms in front of your chest is to lightly place your finger tips behind your ears, without pulling on your neck or ears to help raise you off the floor. Draw in your abdomen towards your spine while inhaling through your nose. Now raise your shoulders (upper torso) towards your knees, using strictly your abdominal muscles. It is very important not to lift your entire back off the floor, as this can cause back strain, and the extended movement does not help you develop six pack abs any faster. The most important part of the crunch is the initial flexing of your abs as you lift your shoulders off of the floor. As soon as you begin lifting off the floor exhale through your mouth, ending with a gasp once your shoulders are off the floor. Then pause for a second once you are at the top of the crunch and exhale the last bit of air from your diaphragm while flexing your abs. The proper breathing and flexing make all the difference. Now lower back down slowly and controlled while inhaling through your nose, just until your shoulder blades touch the ground. Do not let your head touch the ground and repeat. 2. Do Sit Ups. Lie on the floor, feet on the floor, knees up and fingers placed behind your ears or hands crossed on your chest. Sit all the way up, lifting your lower back off the floor along with your shoulder blades.Lower yourself down. Repeat. Once this becomes relatively easy for you (i.e. you can do a quite a bit with ease) start adding more challenges. Find an incline bench or do these on an exercise ball. Once you "graduate" from that, do weighted sit ups. Hold a weight on your chest while you do these. As these become easier, hold heavier and heavier weights. You might also try lifting your feet off the ground while doing the sit ups or alternating the leg in the air, like pretending to pedal while sitting up. If your hands are behind your head, bring your left knee up to touch your right elbow and then your right knee to the left elbow. 3. Do Leg Lifts. Lie on the floor, legs straight out, hands at your sides. Lift your legs straight up (not bending your knees at all) until they're at a ninety degree angle (or close). Lower your legs and repeat without letting your legs touch the floor. For more challenge there is equipment at most gyms that will allow you to raise yourself up using your arms as support and dangle your legs. You can perform leg lifts there too. If you're using this piece of equipment, you can make it easier by just raising your knees to your chest. It's more difficult to raise your legs to a horizontal position with your legs straight. This helps firm up the lower abdomen. If you're truly a monster, try doing leg lifts with a medicine ball hanging from your feet. Or hang from a pull up bar and raise your legs in front of you all the way up to the bar. Still too easy?... 4. Do Jackknife Sit Ups. Lie down flat on the floor. Place your hands on the ground to your sides for balance; you can pick them up as you get used to the movement. Simultaneously raise your knees and torso so that your knees and face meet on an imaginary line extending from your pelvis to the ceiling. You should be able to kiss your knees at the top of the motion. Your legs will naturally fold bringing your feet towards your hips, much like a jackknife. Lie back down (i.e. "spread out") and repeat. Place a weight between your feet when you think you can handle it. What's that? More? 5. Do V-ups. Lie on the floor, legs straight out, hands on the floor but this time extended out over your head. Simultaneously raise legs and torso. Don't bend your knees! What kind of V would it be if you bend your knees? Reach with your hands toward the raised feet. Touch your feet if possible (will require some flexibility). Relax, return to starting position and repeat. Add weight between feet to match your taste. 6. Static Hold and Side Statics. Put your body into the push-up position but with your elbows on the floor, and you whole body flat. This position is known as the static hold position and it trains your core (including your abs) to hold the body in place which is the real purpose of your abs. Hold this position for as long as possible, but you should be aiming to start off with at least 45 seconds, while seasoned ab workers known to achieve over 20 minute static holds. To perform the side static hold roll onto one side of your body and lift into the same position as before, but this time only one arm will be on the ground with the other arm pointed straight up the air and your non-weight bearing leg resting on your bottom leg. Once again, hold this for as long as possible 7. Train Your Oblique Muscles. It's not as important to work on your oblique muscles at first, but eventually you'll want to start working these too. These are the muscles to either side of your stomach. There are multiple ways to do this and anything that includes twisting your torso against a resistance counts. There are twisting machines at gyms, you can twist while you do sit-ups, you can do side bends, you can twist side to side with a medicine ball in hand, etc. Be aware though, that many beginners tend to have weak obliques compared to their abs (it simply isn't used as much in daily life) so go easy on the sides at first. 8. Know that since it is, literally, the center of your body there are many other tricks you can use to train your abs, and some of the other movements will more or less involve your abs. Including every abdominal exercise in existence would make this article painfully long and new methods are being developed constantly. Now that you've made up your mind about a washboard mid-section, get creative! Find new ways to crunch, bend and twist in your daily life. Some possibilities include: 1. Use a stability ball. Do your crunches on the ball to introduce instability to your workout, which will improve your balance too. There are also lots of core exercises that can be done with a stability ball.You can also use a small bubble use for physical therapy. 2. Duck and twist during your daily routine. Reach with your left hand to things on your right and vice versa. If you feel like turning around to face something, see if you can do it with keeping your hips in place and twisting at the waist (warning: awkward when talking to other people, use only against inanimate objects). While walking or standing, pretend that something is coming toward you and you have to duck to get out of the way. Do this as often as you are comfortable or at times when it won't look weird. You can bend forward from the hips or, if you're really into it, bend at the knees too and really "sink" out of the way. 9. Do the Scientific Best Abs Exercise Researchers at the San Diego State University, found that there are certain abs exercises that triggers most muscular activity. The winner was the "bicycle maneuver": * Lie on the floor; make sure your lower back is pressed on the ground. * Take your hands behind your ears. Then bring up your knees at a 45 degree angle. * Start doing a bicycle pedalling motion. Touch your elbow with the opposite knee (right elbow with left knee and so on, alternating)

    I think doing a 20 min stomach workout would work. Of course, just like any other muscle, you don't need to work your stomach every day! Every other day will work. I've had success with the P90X program.
