We can see images of celebrities and TV personalities who have great abs that will completely make us “wow”. All of us, men and women love to have that extraordinary abs and it makes us think how they obtained that good-looking abs! One thing that I have mentioned before that can influence the form of your abs is your diet. You might be eating stuffs that have large amount of calories and this alone can make a difference in the fats of your tummy.
I am going to introduce to you the best stomach exercises that you can do even when you’re not in gym ,you can do this anywhere in your house. I have been using these three flat stomach exercises always and considered it the best exercise I’ve ever had.
You do not need any special devices; rather you will only use your own effort. You may have already encountered these stomach exercises with other programs and these can be considered hard-core exercises which will focus mainly to the stubborn fat area in the stomach (lower abs). Alcoholic men with large abdomen can benefit from this exercise. These can also be used for the mothers who have given birth and tend to have fatty belly.
To get started, you must first find a place in your home with open and flat space (usually the floor) to do the stomach exercises. So let’s start it over:
- The Pulse Ups Exercise
First and foremost, before doing your exercise, lie comfortably flat on the floor as well as your arms. Move your legs close to each other and then extend them in a 90 degree angle from your body. In order for your abdomen and your calves to get the tension, you flex both of your feet.
See to it that your waist is not on the ground as well as your feet. Do the bending of your knees then count, 1, 2 then release it. Keep in mind that in this exercise, you have to be fast while maintaining the proper position. You repeat the exercise 25 times in 3 sessions.
- Let’s do the Hip Raises!
Hip raise exercise have the same principle with the pulse ups. Still at first, we have to lay flat on the ground together with the arms. Position yourself as though you are forming a diamond shape while raising your legs up in the air.
In order to know if it is the proper position, make sure that your knees are facing the opposite direction (east-west) and the soles of your feet are meeting. Monitor your hips and keep it high above the ground. If you find it hard to do it, you can use both of your hands to assist your hips. After that, you can again bring back your legs to its original position, parallel to the ground. Repeat the exercise for 25 times in 3 sessions.
- Position Like a Scissor: the Scissor Kicks Exercise
I can say that among the three exercises, the scissors exercise is the tough one since you need a lot of effort and energy to do this.
Position yourself same as usual with your back flat on the ground as well as your arms. First, you extend your leg (the right leg first) high up in the air like its 90 degrees angle against your body. Then, raise the other leg but not with the same height with the right leg. It should be near the ground but not actually touching the ground. Maintain that position counting 1 to 4 and don’t be tempted to assist your legs using your hands. Alternate both legs it after the count of 4. You can feel the tension in your lower abdomen and you’ll see how it works. Repeat the procedure 25 times in 3 sessions.
Words of Advice
Whether doing stomach exercises for men or stomach exercises for women, make sure not to rest for a long period of time during a session. Let’s say you take about 15 seconds of break before proceeding, do not exceed the time of your break. But if it is not tolerable you, you can have it long. What’s important is that you’ve got the idea of these exercises.
To make this exercise more effective in forming you r abs, compliment it by eating the proper diet and getting in the right fitness in a regular manner. But make sure to only do the exercises 2-3 times per week. You have to rest a bit your muscles in order for it to repair from the damage caused by the tearing of muscles fibers during the exercise. It will be more effective than doing it daily since you can have it strong and the result will not be short term—it will be long lasting. We aim for the form as well as its endurance and we can achieve it by doing it alternately.
Always remember that this exercise is not a magic that after you do it, tomorrow when you wake up you already have the desired results. You have to wait and if you have never seen results, then don’t get discouraged. The formation of the abs might still underneath your fat layers. Just wait! It won’t take too long.
