Can You Get A Flat Stomach In One Month?

These days, it’s all about the abs. Everyone wants sexy abs. So, can you get a flat stomach in one month? Honestly, it depends on where you are at, physically speaking, right now. Some people can guarantee a flat stomach in one month, others may take a little longer.

What really matters, though, is that you stick with it. If you don’t plan on sticking with it, then you may as well not even start. That being said, here’s how it’s done if you want a flat stomach.

The Exercises

As you know, it’s all about crunches and sit ups. If you’ve tried them before and got very weak, slow results, we’re sorry to say, but there’s a good chance you were simply doing them wrong. Most people do.

The most effective crunches are the criss-cross, elbow to knee crunches. These are also where people seem to understand the idea behind crunches the least.

Lay down flat on your back and fold your arms across your chest. If you put them behind your head, it’s too easy to lift yourself up with your arms. Put them on your chest.

Now, don’t lay your feet on the floor, keep them an inch or two off the carpet and hold them there. Do not touch the ground with your feet. As you do each twist, each crunch, count two elbow-to-knee touches as one crunch. Left, right, left, right, and so on.

Lay your back all the way back down between every single elbow-to-knee touch, none of that two-in-one stuff.

If you want to get in shape, you have to be a jerk to yourself sometimes. Really whip yourself into shape, or there’s no hope of getting a flat stomach in one month or even one year.

Stretch before each routine and start with a number you’re comfortable with… then do ten more on top of it on the first day.

Skip the next day and devote it to jogging or running or weight training or any other muscle group.

The day after, try and add twenty crunches more to the number you hit on day one. Add forty next time, eighty the next time, until you’re doing a few hundred every single day.

It sounds like a lot, now, but by the end of the month, three hundred crunches won’t sound like a big a deal.

The Diet

When it comes to what you’re eating: lots of fiber, lots of water, lots of fruits and vegetables, and less red meat and fats than you’re used to.

Don’t starve yourself and don’t deprive yourself of your favorites unless you’ve talked to a dietitian and they’ve recommended a restrictive diet.

The truth is that having something sweet now and then, having a bacon burger once a week, can help you to fight the impulse to just binge.

If you feel like you’re not getting any of the stuff you love, you’re more likely to go nuts on a buffet thinking “Hey, I’ve earned it!”

You do want to be careful about eating too much in the way of fats and sugars, but you need to punish yourself at the gym, not at the dinner table. Moderate, but don’t starve yourself.
