Do you wonder where your flat belly went? Perhaps you are getting a little older or maybe you had children and the flat belly is gone. You have the desire and willpower to try to get your belly flat again. You may have tried dieting with absolutely no success.
Just taking diet pills alone will not give you a flat belly. Or maybe you have heard to cut out certain foods or go on certain fad diets to give you a flat belly. Maybe you have had some success, but the fad diet is one you cannot make a healthy life-long commitment to and therefore your flat belly is no longer flat.
Many people get frustrated and figure their flat belly is a thing of the past. They remember their flat belly with fond memories of youth.
Fad diets, diet pills, etc., are just that "fads." The people that run and own diet company products are trying to make money off of you. They are succeeding as diet products are a multi-billion dollar business. They want you to buy their diet pills or products. They want you to see some success only to have it taken away once you quit using their products. If you lost weight and your belly looked trimmer, you may go back to using their product so they can make more money off of you. Plus, your friends, family members and co-workers will see that you have lost weight and wonder how you did it. When you tell them what product you used, they, too, may run out and purchase the product or products.
You may have tried belly exercises only to find that these are not helping you much.
To help you get the flat belly you want, you can perform two exercises that will help you immensely.
It may surprise you that you will be working on your legs and your core muscles, not your belly muscles. (Therefore, you will not constantly be doing belly exercises.) These are the larger muscles in your body that will help you reduce body fat. The exercises that you are to perform are squats and deadlifts. Squats are performed by standing with nice and straight posture, arms out to the front and bend. Slowly start to stand tall and repeat.
Deadlift exercise is very powerful because you are using so many muscles in your body such as your lower back, legs, abdomen and buttocks. Deadlift exercises are performed by using a barbell. Add the amount of weight to the barbell that you want to start with. Place the barbell on the floor right in front of you.
Next grip the barbell and make sure your hands are a little wider than shoulder width apart. You can hold the barbell with an overhand grip. If you choose to you can hold the barbell with what is called a mixed hand grip. A mixed hand grip is where one hand is in over hand grip and the other hand is in underhand grip.
You will need to keep your arms straight and your head facing forward. Make sure you keep your chest out. Always be conscientious of your back being straight and your shoulders back. Next, squat down and keep your thighs parallel to the floor.
Make sure you inhale deep then lift the bar by digging your heels into the floor. Your legs and hips should be extended all the while exhaling while you lift the barbell. When you reach to the top of your lift, push your hips forward.
Hold the barbell for a second, then very slowly go back to your starting position. You will push your hips back and squat back to the beginning position. Place the barbell on the floor as it was when you first started.
These all over the body exercises as well as belly exercises (as they affect many parts of your body) along with eating healthy, smaller meals throughout the day will help you achieve a flat belly.
