10 FLAT TUMMY TIPS

Spread the love
 Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could watch an
irritating fat belly disappear? In this article, BOLA AKINBOADE-BELLO brings to
you 10 easy ways that you can flatten your belly every day—from simple tips
that you can incorporate into your daily life to belly busting moves that you
can do at home. 
EAT A BOWL OF RASPBERRIES: Packed
with fiber, they fight constipation (that can swell your midsection like a
balloon).

DRINK LOTS OF WATER:  It’s
filling, calorie-free, and keeps your metabolism running in high gear. 
SKIP THE COCKTAILS: Sure,
alcohol may be fat-free, but it’s loaded with calories. It can also raise your
levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that helps your belly store fat.
SIT UP STRAIGHT: Hunching
forward makes your belly look bigger. For a slimming effect that actually
trains the stomach-supporting muscles to stay taut, sit with your shoulders
back, chin up, and lower back supported against the chair.
PLANT A GARDEN: All the
bending, lifting, and twisting help shape your middle, and you’ll burn about
350 calories an hour. (proven)
MOVING YOUR HIPS: Hula
hooping works on the same calorie burning waist-whittling principle as
gardening—but with less dirt.
HIT THE GREENS: Ditching
the golf cart earns you a walking workout; whacking the ball tones and tightens
your midriff.
GET A LEG UP: Crunches
with your legs off the floor tone the upper portion of your AB muscles. Lie on your back with your legs
propped up on the bed or chair. Curl up slowly, raising your head, shoulders,
and upper back off the floor, then slowly lower. Do 10 to 12 repetitions, two
to three times a week.
REVERSE THAT CRUNCH: To
tighten your tummy from a different angle, lie on the floor with your arms at
your sides, feet off the floor, and your legs and knees bent at a 90-degree
angle. Contract your abdominals and press your back into the floor, lifting
your hips about 2 to 4 inches off the floor. Hold, and then lower. Do this 10
to 12 repetitions, two or three times a week.
DO CROSSOVER CRUNCHES: To work
the muscles that defines your waistline (the obliques), lie on your back with
your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Place your right ankle on your
left knee and your hands behind your head, elbows pointing out. Lifting your
head and upper back off the floor, twist, and bring your left shoulder toward
your right knee. Hold, and then slowly lower. Do 10 to 12 repetitions, and then
repeat to the other side. Do two or three times a week.
Hope one of this works for you? Feel free to comment
if it helps in anyway.
