Stomach Exercises

It is important to develop a flat stomach not only for aesthetic purposes but for over-all health. A fat stomach can cause illnesses. Individuals who have a fat belly are prone to heart ailments and diabetes. Here are some easy workouts for the stomach.

Start off by laying flat on your back and take a deep breath. Breathe in then exhale. Keep your belly button up to your spine. Hold it for a couple of seconds then release. Make 3 repititions.

For the next exercise, keep one leg straight and bent the other. Keep your arms across your chest. Make a partial sit up by bringing your shoulder up to your knees. You should feel your stomach muscles contract while going up. Transfer to the other side and do this 10 times.

For the third exercise, put one hand and eblow on the ground. Put your knees down on the ground and bring your hips up. Hold it for a couple of seconds and bring your hips down. Repeat this ten times for each side.

The next exercise is the same as the third one only that for this one you need to balance with your foot instead of you knees. This will develop the muscles at the side of your stomach. On a full bridge position, bring your hips up holding it for two seconds and slowly bring it back down. Do this ten times on both sides.

For the fifth workout, sit at the edge of the couch then raise both feet up on your waist level. Raise your knees up to your chest. Do this 15 times.

Drink a lot of water. This is one of the greatest factor that can help a lot in weight loss. You should drink half of your weight in ounces. If you weigh 200 pounds then you need to drink 100 ounces of water each day.

Choose healthy food. Take note that even if you do 100 situps it will not make a difference unless you eat healthy. Exercises for stomach and good nutrition are important not only for looking good but also for improving your health.
